Part. 6. Drink Restriction (Thirst-Cures), Particularly In Obesity. Clinical Treatises On the Pathology and Therapy of Disorders of Metabolism and Nutrition | by Prof. Carl von Noorden and Dr. Hugo Salomon
This is Part 6 from the Clinical Treatises on the Pathology and Therapy of Disorders of Metabolism and Nutrition. Professor von Noorden's monograph on Drink Restriction is a most instructive deliverance upon a subject of the highest practical importance - one which should appeal strongly to both the medical profession and the laity. Especially in this country, where hot-water drinking and colon douching have been carried to an irrational, ridiculous, and often very harmful excess by the advice of certain irregular practitioners and cranks, will his warnings be timely.
