Excerpt from Uric Acid as a Factor in the Causation of Disease: A Contribution to the Pathology of High Blood Pressure, Headache, Epilepsy, Nervousness, Mental Disease, Asthma, Hay Fever, Paroxysmal Haemoglobinuria, Anaemia, Bright's Disease, Diabetes, Gout, Rheumatism, Bronchitis, and Other Disorders
Flesh food has as yet been possible only for a small portion of the race, and till quite recent times its use in large quantity was still only possible for the richer fraction of that portion. It brought with it its own diseases, formerly confined to the rich, now spreading far and wide through all classes, hand in hand with the cheapening of ¿esh and tea. This volume suggem that these diseases can be prevented or cured by leaving out the poisons and reverting to the foods most in accord with the anatomy and physiology of man, which were more common here a century ago, and are still common in other countries. There can be no doubt, however, that here, as elsewhere, prevention is better than ours.
