Excerpt from Food and Feeding in Health and Disease: A Manual of Practical Dietetics I have also to acknowledge my indebtedness to Dr Dingwall Fordyce for the section on infant feeding in health and disease. Keeping in view the practical nature of the work, I felt I could not do better than entrust this section to one of his recognised abilities, both in the scientific and practical aspects of this subject. I have taken the Opportunity of republishing in the form of an appendix the results of the experimental researches carried out by myself and others in collaboration, in the Physiological Laboratory of Edinburgh University since 1900. It is hoped that the practical value of the book as a work of reference may be enhanced by the inclusion of an exhaustive index.
