Pàgina 47 - , says Dr. Beaumont, " is nearly as necessary to the articles of diet, as the nutrient principle. They should be so managed, that one will be in proportion to the other. Too highly nutritive diet, is probably as fatal to the prolongation of life and health, as that which contains an insufficient quantity of nourishment.
Pàgina 34 - The effect of the new regimen on the intellectual powers of the children has been too obvious and too striking to be doubted. There has been a great increase in their mental activity and power. The quickness and acumen of their perception, the vigor of their apprehension, and the power of their retention, daily astonish me.
Pàgina 31 - The fatigues, the dangers, the privations he underwent or encountered, for the good of others, were such as no one else was ever exposed to, in such a cause; and such as few could have endured.
