4 Spieazines 



In order to guard against the publication of a 

 possible fallacy, two more years were then al- 

 lowed to elapse so that a critical study might be 

 made of every phase of this hypothesis. During 

 this time it was submitted to numerous chemists 

 and biologists and their adverse criticisms were 

 earnestly solicited, but until the present time not 

 a single valid criticism has been received. Since 

 the hypothesis seems to be consistent with known 

 facts, and has been found to explain a host of 

 phenomena which have not heretofore been ex- 

 plained, it is believed that it should not be with- 

 held from the public merely because it is not in 

 accordance with the personal views of certain 

 editors.
