Hello again, Alaine.
Just out of interest, did you know that there is a copy of Banting's pamphlet on this site?
Just go to "Low Carb Books" on the orange bar at the top of every page and Banting's "Letter on Corpulence" is there.
Wonderful title isn't it?
I've only read a little so far but have bookmarked it to read the rest one day. His prose is wonderfully flowery as was the style then.
If you don't have time to wade through him, there's a great review of his pamphlet written by Andy Davies on "Low Carb Plans."
I think to find Low Carb Plans you first hit "Atkins Diet and Low carb Weight-Loss Support" and then "Low Carb Plans" is on the left. (All on the orange bar.)
All the best,

Rosebud
