REPRINT OF NUTRITION LECTURES 



A series of four public lectures by Dr. E. F. DuBois, Dr. Graham Lusk, 

 Dr. E. B. Forbes and Dr. Carl Voegtlin, dealing with various phases 

 of human and animal nutrition, was given under the auspices of the 

 Washington Academy of Sciences during April, 1916, at the New 

 National Museum, Washington, D. C. In view of the wide-spread in- 

 terest in the lectures and the importance of the subject, and in response 

 to numerous requests, the Academy has reprinted in collected form a 

 limited edition of the lectures as published in the Journal. It has 

 seemed desirable also to include, as a fitting introduction to the series, 

 the address of the retiring president of the Chemical Society of Wash- 

 ington, Dr. C. L. Alsberg, which was presented in January, 1916, before 

 a joint meeting of the Chemical Society and the Academy. 



Copies of the brochure, substantially bound in flexible cloth covers, 

 may be purchased of the Treasurer, Mr. William Bowie, Coast and 

 Geodetic Survey, Washington, D. C, at fifty cents each (postage 

 included) .
