HOW DISEASE CAN BE CURED AND LIFE PRESERVED. 99 



to women looking forward to maternity. It is beneficial 

 to the child, keeping the blood in a strong and healthy 

 condition, and assisting the mother both before and dur- 

 ing confinement. It also tends to facilitate the flow of 

 milk and to render it more nutritive to the child. 



Where there is any sickness there is some blood im- 

 purity — that is, microbes are at work, and fermentation 

 to a greater or less extent is going on, and the microbe- 

 killer is the only discovery yet made which directs itself 

 immediately to the cause of the disease. 



Ladies can find ample testimony from those of their 

 own sex as to the value of my medicine to themselves. 

 There is much to discover and much yet to learn, and 

 it is not my wish to keep back anything that has been 

 ascertained by me since I made my first cures. I must 

 therefore touch upon this more fully. 



The discharges attending menstruation, when exam- 

 ined under a powerful microscope, show blood containing 

 vast quantities of microbes. Investigations made among 

 many patients always show that the darkest blood is a 

 mass of living micro-organisms, and that when women 

 complain most of pain in the back, headache, neuralgia, 

 etc., they are suffering from these enormous quantities 

 of microbes. When women thus affected have taken 

 the microbe-killer for several months, the character of 

 the discharges changes. It becomes red, and when ex- 

 amined it is found to be free from microbes ; the woman 

 at the same time suffers no more. The headache and 

 pain in the back have left her, the periods are more nor- 

 mal and free from inconvenience, and the patient puts 

 on a healthy appearance. Her eyes are bright, and her 

 complexion is clear, and she has more energy. 



My first discoveries of this kind showed the nature 

 and cause of woman's sufferings at these times, and that 

 it is Nature again acting on her own laws, the pain and 

 inconveniences being caused by a process of fermenta- 

 tion as usual, and the pain ceasing when the cause of 

 that process is removed. 



But such cases are not cured right away. It is absurd
