“A phrase of the author’s states the subject matter of this book: ‘The problem has now shifted its ground from how to cure a man ... in a hospital to the cure of a man in a sanitarium. The real problem still remains; how to prevent a man in a home from acquiring disease.’... It is now known that only through the exercise of the faculty of mastication and insalivation can the stomach and intestines perform their functions in a non-poison-producing way.... The real significance of this act has only recently been demonstrated, and by an American, Mr. Horace Fletcher. The first half of Dr. Higgins’s book is devoted to analysis and eulogy of Mr. Fletcher’s theories.”—Outlook.
“To do him justice there is more truth in his theories than in some others with which a long-suffering public has been afflicted.”

“Dr. Higgins is neither a ‘crank’ nor a faddist. While his book is, unfortunately, diffuse in style and not clear in construction, it is worth reading.”
