Excerpt from The Newer Knowledge of Nutrition: The Use of Food for the Preservation of Vitality and Health The literature which has a bearing on the applica tion of modern research to the practical problems of human nutrition has become somewhat extensive and is scattered in technical journals, and is not readily accessible, or easy to read in proper sequence. During the present year the author had the pleasure of presenting an interpretation of this literature in the Thomas Clarence Cutter Lectures at the Harvard Medical School. Believing that the publication of these lectures would serve to answer many of the questions which have been asked in numerous letters from the public, they have been edited and presented in their present form.
