The physiology of digestion considered with relation to the principles of dietetics
Andrew Combe
Hunger and thirst get their own chapter before a single meal is discussed: Andrew Combe follows food through mastication, the stomach, and the laws of nutrition with a physician's patience. The physiology of digestion applied to everyday dietetics for ordinary readers. How eating actually works, as the 1830s best understood it. Digest the original explanation.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
