Excerpt from The Library of Health, and Teacher on the Human Constitution, Vol. 1 Some of our readers appear to have imbibed the idea, that we hang all our hopes of promoting human health and longevity on a mere reformation in eating and drinking. Some also go farther, and seem to suppose us pledged, directly or indirectly, to sustain the views taught by Mr. Graham. Now let it be distinctly under stood, once for all, that in this work we have nothing to do, either directly or indirectly, with Mr. G. Or his doctrines. Nay, more; to repeat what we have said on a former occasion, we adopted nearly all our present views as independently of Mr. G. As if he had never spoken or written on the subject. Nor are we disposed to make everything of mere eating and drinking. Their connection with human health is indeed obvious and important; but so is that of air, temperature, dress, and the state of the mind, affections and passions. Perhaps there is no one thing, at the present time, more destructive of health and longevity, than that murderous system of quackery which, in one or another of its numerous ramifications, pervades nearly or quite the whole mass of civilized society. On this subject we have said something in the present volume but we shall endeavor to expose the evil still more thoroughly hereafter. We shall endeavor to awaken an enlightened and virtuous - may we not add, christian - indignation against it, till it is expelled from our land and from the world.
