PREFACE
The present book is the outcome of a course of eight lecturesdelivered before the Lowell Institute of Boston in theearly part of 1907.
In this presentation of the subject the attempt has beenmade to give a systematic account of our knowledge regardingsome of the more important processes of nutrition, withspecial reference to the needs of the body for food. In doingthis, the facts accumulated by painstaking observations andexperiments during recent years in our laboratory have beenincorporated with data from other sources and brought intoharmony, so far as possible, with the modern trend of physiologicalthought.
Numerous experimental results, hitherto unpublished, havebeen introduced, notably in Chapter VII, in which a few ofthe data recently obtained in our laboratory with dogs arepresented in some detail, since they afford evidence of theerror of the current arguments concerning the necessity of ahigh proteid intake by man, as based on the results of earlierinvestigators with high proteid animals.
It is hoped that the facts and arguments here presentedwill help to arouse a more general interest in the subject ofhuman nutrition, as right methods of living promise so muchfor the health and happiness of the individual and of thecommunity.
