Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Vegetarian Messenger, Vol. 6: Design to Aid in the Extensive Diffusion of True Principles in Relation to the Food of Man; Advocating Total Abstinence From the Flesh of Animals
Here, then, I calmly take my leave of Mr. Ward; not in the least 'irate, ' or disconcerted at the spectre of quackery he. Holds up to frighten me withal. The water-cure is only another word for a mode of healing diseases on strict hygienic principles; Or an enforcement of diet, regimen, air, exercise, etc. In all this there is no quackery. You may conceive, then, how easily I sit under Mr. Ward's puerile insinuations on this head. Those who know me intimately, or have consulted me professionally, and who have read my humble efforts to unveil the mystery of physic, and to strip it of its false pretensions, will vindicate me of any taint or tendency of this sort. My work on Consumption has been reviewed in upwards of fifty journals, and the best of them have all concurred in this eulogy - that it was utterly free from the least tincture of quackery.
