About this Item
Fortieth thousand. 8vo (198 mm), pp. [2], xxxiv, [2], 13-280, a-i, [1]. Bound in pale green publisher?s cloth. Rubbing and wear are present to the extremities; spine caps are frayed. An area on the front board (bottom quarter) is lightly dented, causing some tearing/splitting on the verso paste down leaf. End papers are toned and show light scattered foxing.

Horace Fletcher (1849-1919), a native of Lawrence Massachusetts and an early food-faddist, developed a system of chewing food called ?fletcherism? which he claimed would help people eat less, improve their digestion, and increase their strength and vitality. He advised people to eat only when they were truly hungry. Fletcher gained many devout followers and became wealthy for a time. Fletcher?s ?New Menticulture? is a revised edition of his ?Menticulture?, which was first printed in the 1890?s. Seller Inventory # 001115
