Some of the topics included the consumption of meat and its relation to alcoholism; the all-meat diet of American tribes in the far north and their being healthy, beautiful, blood-thursty, and sometimes-cruel; a high-phosphorus diet and its impact on mental health, etc. OCLC lists 1 copy at the NLM; none other in the trade.
