1933 The Dry Diet Cure
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce, With Dustwrapper
Second edition. Very scarce work. A study on the benefits offered by a "dry" or sober lifestyle, exploring the contemporary drinking habits of the standard man and discussing the health implications. Offering a new diet plan, with information on how to only drink water and examples of menus. Written by Josiah Oldfield, an English lawyer, physician, activist, and writer who was a prolific writer of popular books on dietary and health topics. He promoted his own variant of fruitarianism, which was virtually indistinguishable from lacto-ovo vegetarianism.
Condition
In the original full cloth binding. Externally, very smart with minor bumping to the extremities. Original price-clipped dust wrapper is smart with light wear and the odd small closed tear to the panel edges. Sympathetic repairs with tape to the internal side. The odd small mark to the panels. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean with the odd small spot. Previous owner's bookplate to the front endpaper.
Very Good Indeed
