The following volume embraces the testimony, direct or indirect, of more than a HUNDRED individuals—besides that of societies and communities—on the subject of vegetable diet. Most of this one hundred persons are, or were, persons of considerable distinction in society; and more than FIFTY of them were either medical men, or such as have made physiology, hygiene, anatomy, pathology, medicine, or surgery a leading or favorite study.
As I have written other works besides this—especially the "Young House-Keeper"—which treat, more or less, of diet, it may possibly be objected, that I sometimes repeat the same idea. But how is it to be avoided? In writing for various classes of the community, and presenting my views in various connections and aspects, it is almost necessary to do so. Writers on theology, or education, or any other important topic, do the same—probably to a far greater extent, in many instances, than I have yet done. I repeat no idea for the sake of repeating it. Not a word is inserted but what seems to me necessary, in order that I may be intelligible. Moreover, like the preacher of truth on many other subjects, it is not so much my object to produce something new in every paragraph, as to explain, illustrate, and enforce what is already known.

As a new vegan for the past 18 weeks, I found this early treatise on "a vegetable diet instead of an animal diet" to be very interesting. It does go one for a long long time though, I am barely 1/3 through and suspect that everything that could have been said about the subject already has been. I will keep reading though, to see if anything new pops up. Famous Doctors of the late revolutionary war period contributed to this, such as Dr Benjamin Rush.Product details

Thanks for sharing, great & so healthy
I LOVE THE STORIES I READ.
It was interesting for the first dozen profiles, but after that just continued with the same notions. I do find it amusing that the same debate there continues today.
I could not read. It's a little boring,,,
I have enjoyed reading this book, very interesting. I am a vegetarian and have liked to read from a medical perspective. I was surprised that this book was written so long ago yet the infromation is current and correct. I liked it!
I thought this book would be an interesting look at vegetarianism in the nineteenth century. Instead it is page after page of testimonials. I already know the benefits of eating plants. I wanted recipes and information about the daily diet. I was quite disappointed.
The NYT should review this old book for the valuable insight of over 150 years ago regarding the healing power of veggies and fruit and dumping the meat. You owe it to yourself to read this book written by a doctor about plant based research done by doctors way back then. Dr Alcott, the writer, became a doctor so he could learn more about his chronic condition. He learned it was the meat and fat which was doing him in.
