The Natural Food of Man / Being an attempt to prove from comparative anatomy, physiology, chemistry and hygiene, that the original, best and natural diet of man is fruit and nuts

Obvious typographical errors have been silently corrected. Variations in hyphenation and accents have been standardised but all other spelling and punctuation remains unchanged.
The layout of the tables in Chapter IV has been modified to improve clarity and manage width. In addition the large table Selections from Atwater and Bryant’s Tables , originally occupying pages 64 to 71, has been relocated to the end of the book as an additional appendix in order to preserve the flow of the text. This has been added to the TOC and a link placed in the original location.
Proteid and protein are both used and have not been standardised.
The index refers to pages 332 and 333, these do not exist.
The cover was prepared by the transcriber and is placed in the public domain.
