Description

The True Science of Living: The New Gospel of Health, by Edward Hooker Dewey, is a late 19th-century book (published 1895) advocating natural laws for health, focusing heavily on fasting (abstaining from food until hunger calls) and intermittent eating (giving the stomach long rest periods, like skipping dinner until noon the next day) as keys to curing disease and building health, with specific sections also addressing the physiological effects of alcohol. It explains how the sick recover and the well get sick, offering practical advice for both physicians and laypeople.
