Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Starvation Treatment of Diabetes: With a Series of Graduated Diets as Used at the Massachusetts General Hospital Although Dr. Allen's modifications of the classical treatment of saccharine diabetes have been in use only for about two years in the hands of their author, and for a much shorter time in those of other physicians, it seems to me already clearly proven that Dr. Allen has notably advanced our ability to combat the disease. One of the difficulties which is likely to prevent the wide adoption of his treatment is the detailed knowledge of food composition and calorie value which it requires. Dr. Hill's and Miss Eckman's little book should afford substantial aid to all who have not had opportunity of working out in detail the progressive series of diets which should be used after the starvation period. These diets, worked out by Miss Eckman, head of the diet kitchen at the Massachusetts General Hospital, have seemed to me to work admirably with the patients who have taken them, both in hospital and private practice. The use of thrice boiled vegetables, as recommended by Dr. Allen, seems to be a substantial step in advance, giving, as it does, a considerable bulk of food without any considerable carbohydrate portion, and with the semblance of some of the forbidden vegetables. It is, of course, too early to say how fa reaching and how permanent the effects of such a diet will be in the severe and in the milder cases of diabetes. All we can say is that thus far it appears to work admirably well. To all who wish to give their patients the benefit of this treatment I can heartily recommend this book.

Book Description
"It is, of course, too early to say how far reaching and how permanent the effects of such a diet will be in the severe and in the milder cases of diabetes. All we can say is that thus far it appears to work admirably well. To all who wish to give their patients the benefit of this treatment I can heartily recommend this book." -Richard C. Cabot, M.D., 1916 "This book furnishes to the general practitioner in compact form the details of the latest treatment....It presents the clinical application of the work done in recent years by Dr. Allen at Harvard and The Rockefeller Institute. This method of treatment, carried out by Dr. Allen at The Rockefeller Hospital, and by the staff at the Massachusetts General Hospital, has proved very successful. To all who have been tried by this baffling disease, this little volume, with its description of treatment, tests and diets, will be of great service." -Southern California Practitioner "One of the greatest advances ever made in the therapeutics of this disease. The physician who expects to give his diabetic patients the benefit of this new method of treatment must have a good and clear idea of it himself. In this little volume he can get all the data he would need for the successful management of his cases of diabetes with the so-called 'Allen' treatment.'" -The Journal of the Indiana State Medical Association "This work can be heartily recommended as a complete and reliable guide in the Allen treatment of diabetes." -Northwest Medicine "The Allen treatment has definitely proved its worth in the difficult problem of the treatment of diabetes and the satisfactory prosecution of the treatment can be reached only when the patient is possessed of at least much of the information which is to be found in this book. It is probably not too much to say that every diabetic should own and study this book and many physicians can profit by its use." -Medical Record "The fact that this little volume is now in its third edition only two years after its first appearance is indicative of the reception given it by the medical profession. Such a reception was quite deserved, for the book is a very valuable guide to the proper conduct of Allen's revolutionary treatment of diabetes. The great drawback of this form of treatment has been the difficulty encountered in the proper adjustment of the diets after the initial period of starvation and the present volume relieves the practitioner of much of this difficulty by giving him an extensive series of very carefully worked out diets, sufficient to cover almost every need that might arise. The individual diets are presented serially, much in the order in which they would probably be used in a given case....Each diet is arranged for all of the meals of the day; the amount of each food is stated in terms of grams of weight as well as in domestic measures, and the protein, fat, and carbohydrate content is given along with the total caloric value. I addition to the diets, the book contains several illustrative case records to make clear the modes of application of the treatment, a short review of the several approved laboratory tests which must be carried out frequently in every case, a chapter of tested recipes, one on food values and a summary of analyses of the protein and carbohydrate contents of a number of diabetic foods. In brief, the authors have succeeded in covering the subject of the starvation treatment of diabetes from its practical side in an adequate, concise, and thoroughly utilitarian way." -International Record of Medicine and General Practice Clinics
