Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, a pioneering work of its time, argues for the efficacy of liquid food in reversing the progress of consumption and tuberculosis. Written by an erudite medical doctor, the text draws on clinical evidence and the author's own successful treatment of the condition. Published almost one hundred and fifty years ago, the book's method of using uids to starve consumption of essential elements while providing ample nutrition remains a novel concept. It is not a treatment that has been seized upon and expanded by modern medicine. Yet the author's insights, based on deep understanding of the link between consumption and malnutrition, are still pertinent to the present fight against the disease.
