DEVELOPMENT OF THE MICROBE-KILLER. 63 



<;ause I found that some of the doctors who so energeti- 

 cally condemned it were using it themselves. Life is 

 sweet, and while there is life there is hope, u^groto 

 dum anima spes est. So the sick doctors, when their 

 own medicine failed them, had enough hope left to try 

 mine, and they got well. But they would not give me 

 credit for it. They were afraid, because every sick man 

 cured by me was so much loss to them. So they went 

 on abusing me and at the same time seeking my help. 

 How could I avoid laughing at such a scene ? 



The demand continued to increase. It grew beyond 

 my ability to meet it, and I was forced into making 

 arrangements for meeting the requirements of what had 

 now become a most successful business. This indicates 

 the success that has fallen to me, and the appreciation 

 which the public have bestowed upon my remedy ; for 

 people are not slow to determine the merits of some- 

 thing that is what it is represented to be, and there are 

 none of us of sane mind who do not set good health as 

 higher in value than gold.
