100 MICROBES AND THE MICROBE-KILLER. 



to suppose that they can be, and it would be wrong for 

 me to say that they can. The blood must be purified, 

 and, as the microbes must be killed, the remedy must be 

 one that accomplishes this object and thereby puts a 

 stop to fermentation. At the same time no antiseptic 

 can take effect until it has entered the cells by passing 

 through their walls, and so can be brought into contact 

 with their contents. This explains how persons are de- 

 ceived by those medicines which are given to purify the 

 blood, and which have no power whatever to destroy 

 the causes which render impurity possible. Medicines 

 which have no effect upon the life of micro-organisms 

 cannot purify the blood, and none of the medicines used 

 for the purpose do accomplish that end. We must 

 have something that kills microbes, and hence the value 

 and necessity of my discovery, for, as I have shown, 

 there is nothing else that does that without also killing 

 the patient. 



Any one who advertises or claims to be able to purify 

 the blood should prove that he does so, and, if he will al- 

 low his medicine to be fairly tested, it is quite easy to 

 ascertain whether it will do all that is promised for it, 

 because if it cannot prevent fermentation it certainly 

 cannot do what is promised for it ; and if it will do that 

 it can cure disease everywhere, whether in man or other 

 animals. If anybody doubts this or fails to understand 

 it, I have tangible, visible evidence that I can produce, 

 but I hardly think that the people generally will fail to 

 find ample proof in the cures I have already effected. 

 These should alone be convincing, even though my med-^ 

 icine is the same for all, and I myself, in place of being 

 a professor with a long name, am nothing more than a 

 close observer of Nature. 



This is certain, that Nature cannot be denied. What- 

 ever she teaches is beyond contradiction at the hands of 

 the doctors, and medical science, if there be any science 

 in medicine, is not in a position to oppose it. But I do 

 not see the science. I know the profession is wrong, em- 

 phatically wrong, and my only wonder is how people can
