AB Doctor Tobey has applied his recognized capability for lively and interesting writing to the presentation in popular form of the well known and essentially uninteresting material about diet. The book completely describes the essential facts about food in their relationship to longer and better life, reducing, putting on weight, diet and reproduction, better teeth, dieting for personal beauty, the truth about acidosis, vitamins and all the other lures which health educators have endeavored to employ in the almost hopeless task of making people eat as they should instead of as they wish. It is a good manual for reference and is as readable as such a book can be expected to be. It is scientifically accurate and may be recommended by physicians to patients who want more information than is usually contained in the practicing physician's dietary listings.
