Excerpt from Natural Way in Diet: Or the Proper Food of Man During years of work and study as a practical healer, I have been lead to realize the importance of a book which would teach the people the value of foods, and the intimate relation existing between the food taken into the system and the higher life of man. The subject is one which should be of deep interest to every student of human life, and to every one who is seeking to come into harmonious relation with the laws of Nature. It rests upon a scientific basis, and the workings of the laws of cause and effect are as plainly discernible as in any other process of Nature. It has been my earnest endeavor to lead all those with whom it has been my privilege to come in contact, as teacher, physician and friend, to new and better methods of thinking; to a higher, truer, holier life. As Principal of the National Institute of Science, my field of labor has been wide, and the loving testimonies of students, whose lives have been broadened and sweetened by my efforts in their behalf, is sufficient reward for my earnest labors, and ample evidence of my success. In the course of lessons in Personal Magnetism, the student is taught how to care for his body, that temple of the living soul, and is shown its true relation to the psychic or higher life, of which it is but the instrument. It should be kept in perfect condition if it is expected to perform its proper functions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This fascinating guidebook is an attempt to provide readers with information on what the author deems as "the natural food of mankind". In sum, the author is a proponent of vegetarianism and argues that "Meat is by no means a clean article of diet, but on the contrary a very unclean one; and many foods, supplying an equal amount of proteid matter, are to be preferred, for the reason that they supply less toxic material—which invariably accompanies flesh-meat."
