DR. EDWARD HOOKER DEWEY AND THE “NO BREAKFAST PLAN”
The “No Breakfast Plan,” evolved from the long experimental experience of Dr. Dewey, to secure much needed rest for the stomach and intestines, is described in a book bearing that title which can be had direct from the author by addressing him at his home, Meadville, Penn., U. S. A.
“No Breakfast” is, evidently, a misnomer, but means, in the present application, an appetite earned after arising from sleep. The writer, for instance, often begins work so early in the morning that by the time the ordinary breakfast is ready he has already done a fair day’s work.
The writer has no reported details of the work of Dr. Dewey to add to this volume. In “Glutton or Epicure” full appreciation of this Esculapian Luther is expressed and extracts of his writings are reprinted. In fighting for more than forty years for the principle of less abuse of the tired body of man, Dr. Dewey has rendered a service that some time will be reckoned very great; and while there is no scientific report of the good doctor’s work to call for introductory comment, it would be equally unhealthy to miss an opportunity to express gratitude for what he has done for us all.
