Excerpt from Essentials of Diet: Or Hints on Food, in Health and Disease The First Edition of this Work having been so favourably received by the Profession and the Public, the Publishers have determined to make a fresh issue. They have entrusted the task of revision to my care, and as every page has been carefully gone through, and as fresh matter has been added, I trust that the Second Edition will meet with the Same kindly recep tion that was accorded to the First. Besides occasional fresh paragraphs, I have added one whole chapter on the Diet for Singers and Speakers, thinking that this might give additional interest to an already interesting subject.
