Beard, On the Occurrence of Dextro-rotatory Albumins in Organic Nature. 1 67 



Dr. Batzner has observed, that three injections of the active pan- 

 creatic ferments (Fairchild) suffice to heal a tubercular abcess, 

 in India Captain F. W. Lambelle R. A. M. C., using the like 

 Fairchild injections, has found, in a bad case of amoebic dysentery 

 with abcesses in lungs and liver, that the like number of injections 

 (three) result in the clearing-away of all the Amoebae, and the healing 

 of the abcess. From these facts, from the experiments, and, more 

 especially, from the whole course and tenour of my researches 

 during the past twenty-four years the following additional con- 

 clusions find their scientific warrant. 



Since the organisms underlying the chief tropical diseases, such 

 as malignant malaria, trypanosomiasis, sleeping sickness, yellow 

 fever, relapsing fever, kala-Azar, etc., are so far as these attack 

 human beings, asexual generations, it follows, that the natural 

 means of destroying the organisms of such tropical diseases, and 

 of curing the patients, are the use in combination of the powerful 

 pancreatic ferments, trypsin and amylopsin, as represented by the 

 "1912" Fairchild injections. 



A further step may, indeed, be taken. Since such tropical dis- 

 orders due to parasitic micro-organisms of an asexual nature, and 

 tuberculosis, are amenable, since the organisms of such nourish 

 themselves, increase, and multiply at the expense of the living 

 human organism with its characteristic laevo-rotatory albumins, 

 and last not least because the greater exceeds the less, all 

 infectious diseases, due to parasitic organisms of an asexual nature, 

 all which possess dextro-rotatory albumins, such as pyaemia, small- 

 pox, scarlet fever, pneumonia, leprosy, cholera asiatica, and others 

 of a similar nature, must be, and are, curable naturally by the all- 

 powerful ferments, trypsin and amylopsin, in combination. 



In order to grasp the bearings of the facts of the present 

 writing upon problems concerning diseases, in which unicellular 

 organisms, bacilli, etc. play a leading part, it is needful to know 

 something of the biology of digestion and of the relationships of 

 extra- and intra-cellular ferments. In the unicellular animals or 

 Protozoa, which, so far as disease is concerned, manifest themselves 

 as asexual generations, in the asexual generations of the higher 

 animals, in the mammalian trophoblast, and in its pathological 

 representative any malignant tumour or cancer, digestion is intra- 

 cellular, and by means of ferments acting within and upon the 

 surface of the cell. In the sexual generations, man for example, 

 a differentiation has taken place, of such a nature, that the produc- 

 tion of the characteristic digestive ferments has been assigned to 

 a certain portion of the alimentary canal, and these ferments act 

 in an extra-cellular fashion. Not only have most of the body-cells 

 lost the power, if they ever at any past time possessed it, of
