Nutrition and Digestion
KNOW THYSELF SERIES
Second Edition
The author, in giving remedial exercises and diet prescribed to suit the individual need, has for ten years realized the necessity of a book which shall give to the homemaker a clear idea of the uses of foods, that she may be able to compile her own diets for various blood conditions. Since the blood is made from food elements, its conditions can be largely controlled by a knowledge and regulation of these elements.
Acknowledgment is here made of the valuable assistance of Winfield S. Hall, Ph. D., M. D., Professor of Physiology of Northwestern Medical School, Lecturer and Author of Nutrition and Dietetics; of Alida Frances Pattee, late instructor of Dietetics Bellevue Training School for Nurses, Bellevue Hospital, New York City, author of “Practical Dietetics with reference to Diet in Disease,” and of D. Appleton & Co., for their kindness in allowing the use of Dr. Hall’s tables of food values, in the preparation of this book.
The tables of Food Values and the classifications of foods are kindly furnished by Dr. Hall and used by the courtesy of his publishers, while a few of the receipts are generously furnished by Miss Pattee.
Recognition is also made of the good work of Miss Helen Hammel, former dietitian in Wesley Hospital, Chicago, in the preparation of some of the receipts in the Appendix.
