HOW DISEASE CAN BE CURED AND LIFE PRESERVED. 87 



the remedy is to stop it. The microbes are a reahty and 

 can be seen, although it may take a microscope. But 

 they are there just the same. If the people could see 

 microbes as they see .weeds in their gardens, they would 

 soon see the value of the microbe-killer and thus prevent 

 any disease before it could develop and kill the patient. 

 If the seeds of weeds fall into the garden they will sprout 

 and grow, and, if left unmolested, will shed seeds again, 

 which are finally scattered over the garden to such an 

 extent that many hoeings will be required to extermi- 

 nate them. The very same process goes on in the human 

 body when it is infected with microbes. They are easily 

 killed and the process of fermentation is soon arrested 

 when the microbe-killer is used at once ; but in chronic 

 diseases of years' standing it will take just as long to get 

 the microbes out of the body as it would to clear a gar- 

 den full of weeds, because, so long as seed is there to 

 sprout, the hoeing must be kept up. 



Many persons have written to me that they have used 

 a few gallons of the microbe-killer, but gave it up be- 

 cause they noticed no improvement. In their letters 

 they state how many years they have doctored and how 

 sick they are now ; that they are affected with the dis- 

 ease all over ; that they are nervous and cannot sleep or 

 eat anything substantial. Now, if these persons would 

 compare their body, full of microbes and fermentation, 

 their stomach lining coated and fermented like the roots 

 on sick plants, and their blood filled with microbes like 

 water full of slime — if they would compare all this to a 

 crop smothered or nearly smothered with weeds, they 

 would have a good illustration of what is necessary and 

 what results may be expected from certain experiments. 

 Now, the microbe-killer is just as reliable in killing mi- 

 crobes as a hoe, in the hands of a proper person, is in kill- 

 ing weeds. If a gardener becomes disgusted and gives up 

 hoeing because he cannot get the weeds out fast enough, 

 for weeds always shed seed again, can he blame the hoe ? 

 Is he not himself to blame for allowing the weeds to 

 grow ?
