From the Dust Jacket: "A HISTORY OF WINE AS THERAPY has the adventure of history and the fascination of science. For 4,000 years and in almost every culture, physicians have used wine to ease man's pains, to heal his wounds, to cure his ills, to spur his appetite, and to comfort his anxieties. For 40 centuries, wine has earned its place as an essential in the materia medica. Modern science has discovered why: how wine - a combination of alcohol and varying amounts of ketones, aldehydes, esters, volatile and non-volatile acids, carbon dioxide, nitrogenous compounds, pigments, tannins, sugars, pectins, glycerols, vitamins, and various inorganic components - exerts its many effects in health and in disease. A HISTORY OF WINE AS THERAPY traces the use of wine in medicine by delving into the works of the great physicians" Bibliography. Chronological Index. General Index. Original blue cloth. . 1st ed?
