Summary
Details

""Practical Dietetics, With Special Reference to Diet in Diseases"" (1909) by William Gilman Thompson offers a comprehensive overview of dietetics and its application in managing various diseases. This historical text explores the principles of nutrition, detailing the composition and caloric value of different foods, and providing guidance on formulating therapeutic diets tailored to specific medical conditions. Thompson delves into the physiological aspects of digestion and metabolism, explaining how diet can be manipulated to influence the body's response to illness.

Designed as a practical resource for physicians and dietitians, the book covers a wide range of diseases and their dietary management, reflecting medical knowledge at the turn of the 20th century. While medical practices have evolved, this volume remains a valuable historical reference for understanding the development of nutritional science and its early applications in healthcare.
