Author Description

Excerpt from Vegetable Diet: As Sanctioned by Medical Men, and by Experience in All Ages An apology may be necessary for retaining, unexplained, a few medical terms. But I did not feel at liberty to change them, in the correspond ence of Dr. North, for more popular language; and, havmg retained them thus far, it did not seem desirable to explain them elsewhere. Nor was I willing to deface the pages of the work with explan atory notes. The fact is, the technical terms alluded to, are, after all, very few in number, and may be generally understood by the con nexion in which they appear.
