Excerpt from Practical Dietetics: With Special Reference to Diet in Disease Since the publication of the first edition of this work in 1895, great progress has been made in the study of dietetics. The scientific aspect of the subject has been notably advanced through the extensive researches of the Department of Agriculture in Washington, and of the allied Agricultural Experiment Stations in many different States, where food analyses, calorimetry computations, and investigations of the dietetic habits of different races and classes of men have done, much towards placing the hitherto vague subject of dietetics upon an accurate scientific basis. In university and medical college laboratories much independent research has been devoted to the relationship between ingested food and excreta, and the complex processes of food metabolism in health and disease.
