Excerpt from The Half-Yearly Abstract of the Medical Sciences, Vol. 32: Being a Practical and Analytical Digest of the Contents of the Principal British and Continental Medical Works Published in the Preceding Six Months, July-December, 1860Wheat is said to be the type of adult human food. It supplies, in just proportions, every element essential to the perfect nutrition of the human organism. And yet in practice we find that the food which we prepare from it, and furnish to the inhabitants of our large towns'and cities, is quite incapable alone of sustaining the health and strength of any individual. This is the more remarkable, since in Scotland we find that the food prepared from the oat, a grain pos sessing the same elements of nutrition as wheat, though in a coarser form, furnishes almost the exclusive diet of a very large number of the hardiest and finest portion of the population.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
