Description:Translation of Soignez-vous par le vin, with a supplement on American wines by Julius L. Jacobs, U. S. editor of Wines and Spirits.From the book flap:Epicurean qualities aside, wine is a greatly neglected supplementary medicine. With careful research and a Gallic zest that makes for delightful reading, Dr. Maury explains why wine — good quality wine — is not only one of man’s most ancient and valuable sources of nutrition, but also a helpful remedy for innumerable ailments. He tells how particular wines, used with other medical treatment, can be effective and he recommends specific wines (by region and by name) for specific disorders, and prescribes dosages.Graves wines, which contain a high proportion of iron, are, as you might guess, prescribed for anemia. But did you know Loire wines help break down cholesterol and prevent arteriosclerosis? Or that Provence Rosé is good for gout? Champagne for certain liver complaints and heart disease? For those who despair of draining their pockets to fill their glasses with such fine French medicine — relax. Julius Jacobs, noted American wine authority, has provided a chapter on good American wines that can be substituted for Dr. Maury’s French prescriptions.Notice from the PublisherWe think you will find this book a lively and entertaining discourse on wine and what the author conceives to be its nutritional properties and its values as a supplementary medicine.The book is not a “home medical adviser.” Obviously neither we nor the author conceive of wines as curative or medicinal in and of themselves.
