104 MICROBES AND THE MICROBE-KILLER. 



doses, but by sufficient quantities taken regularly and 

 perseveringly. 



If we remove a limb from a tree, and at once stop 

 the cut surface and protect it from the atmosphere so 

 that no fungus shall be deposited on it, the heart wood 

 will not suffer, and the tree will soon protect the part 

 itself by the bark growing over it. But if the exposed 

 section be not protected the surface will soon become 

 black from fungoid growths, and these will at times 

 extend throughout the tree, of course shortening its life. 

 The same process goes on in the human body. A person 

 may be ever so healthy, but if he lose a limb or become 

 wounded, and microbes are allowed to form and enter 

 into the blood, his life may be shortened or even lost. 

 On the other hand, if he can prevent fermentation alto- 

 gether, the parts must quickly heal, and no further 

 injury will be done to the system. 



Antiseptic plasters, so-called, cannot be of any use. 

 They cannot do any good in surgical operations. They 

 cannot be used internally, and consequently they cannot 

 reach the general circulatory system. There must be 

 some internal remedy as well, and something that can 

 be used so freely that it may saturate all the tissues and 

 thoroughly, as it were, soak the body. Most surgical 

 work must cease. The removal of limbs for leprosy 

 must be stopped. All cutting around the eyes, face, and 

 limbs is unnecessary. Every case can be cured through 

 purification of the blood by means of the microbe-killer.
