The history of salt : $b with observations on its geographical distribution, geological formation, and medicinal and dietetic properties

"The History of Salt" by Evan Marlett Boddy is a late 19th-century exploration of salt, covering where it's found geographically, how it forms geologically, and its uses in medicine and diet. Boddy wants to show how important salt has been to humans and challenge common incorrect ideas about its effects on health. The author starts the book by explaining that he wants people to think differently about salt, which he believes is very important but often not understood. He disagrees with the wrong ideas people have about salt and health, saying it's needed for good nutrition and digestion. Boddy uses old books and stories to show that salt has been important for a long time, and the book will look closely at how it's used and why it matters.
