It is not, I think, going too far to say, that every fact connected with human organization goes to prove that man was originally formed a frugivorous...
Seite 10 - The natural food of man, therefore, judging from his structure, appears to consist of fruits, roots, and other succulent parts of vegetables ; and his hands offer him every facility for gathering them. His short and moderately strong jaws on the one hand, and his...
Seite 13 - To every casualty of varied life; Serene he bears the peevish eastern blast, And uninfected breathes the mortal south. Such the reward of rude and sober life; Of labour such. By health the peasant's toil Is well repaid; if exercise were pain Indeed, and temperance pain. By arts like these Laconia nursed of old her hardy sons ; And Rome's unconquered legions urged their way, Unhurt, through every toil in every clime.
