TitleUnpublished paper, 'Experiments on food; its destination and uses' by William S [Scovell] Savory
Date1862
DescriptionThe experiments which are related in this paper refer to the destination of food and its uses. Savory states that 'abundant, nay, superfluous evidence has been furnished to prove that no one principle of food will alone suffice for nutrition; but clear and unequivocal evidence is still wanting to show how far each principle of food is essential to life and health, provided all else save that one be sufficiently supplied. This is a very different question.'
