Corpulence and Its Treatment on Physiological Principles

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In the following pages an attempt is made to regulate the alimentary relations of the corpulent on those principles, which modern physiology recognises as in accordance with the conditions of health in the case of the non-corpulent, and which form the basis of a rational dietetic system. The treatise aims more particularly at substituting for the so-called Banting remedy or cure by avoidance of fat something better and more in harmony with the natural conditions.

That the present communication takes the form of an address is due to the circumstance, that it is a somewhat fuller development of an address delivered by me on June 3rd before a numerous gathering of physicians at the seventh general meeting of the Lower Saxon Medical Association in Brunswick.
