consumption: its cause and cure. 119 



and that organ (which is the foundation of the body) is 

 unable to digest food. It ferments and the greater part 

 is rejected. There is constant waste, but no repair. So 

 long as the patient cannot eat and digest his food, he 

 can never build up, any more than yellowish, sickly- 

 looking plants with their roots and sap full of fermenta- 

 tion can ever grow green again. 



Florists (who, by the way, have to study the processes 

 of Nature more than any other profession) know too 

 well that to cure plants they have to remove the fer- 

 mentation from the roots first, then new rootlets will be 

 formed, and with proper nursing the plants will gradu- 

 ally grow green again. What the roots are to the plants, 

 the stomach is to man. 



Knowing these facts, common sense tells us that to 

 cure consumption or any other disease (never mind about 

 diagnosis, name, or symptom, the cause being always 

 the same), we must stop fermentation by destroying 

 all the microbes existing in the stomach and blood. 

 This can only be done by the use of an antiseptic, 

 which must be harmless to the patient, so that it can be 

 used internally in large doses to saturate the whole sys- 

 tem for any length of time ; then fermentation will 

 gradually cease, the coats of the stomach become re- 

 newed, the appetite return, and the patient again di- 

 gest his food, which, by the way, contains all the in- 

 gredients necessary to form blood, flesh, and color. By 

 the use of Radam's Microbe-Killer, which is a harmless 

 antiseptic, every form of disease is curable, provided the 

 patient has sufficient vitality and substance left to build 

 up again. 



To isolate consumptives by putting them into hospi- 

 tals (as suggested by some doctors) and letting them die 

 there will not improve the situation for the future. In 

 a rigorous and changeable climate people will always 

 suffer from consumption. By observing proper sanitary 

 conditions it may be prevented to some extent, and by 

 using Eadam's Microbe-Killer in time it will be easily 

 cured.
