stomach worms, and all bacteria within every portion 

 of the earth and atmosphere. 



Nitrogen, or Red diseases: Accumulations within 

 the system of all description, on account of the sub- 

 jective nature of Nitrogen and a lack of sufficient 

 Hydrogen. These are apoplexy, heart-failure, swell- 

 ings, tumors, fungus growths, goitre, mumps, 

 calculus, cancer, tetanus, or locked-jaw, ossification, 

 humpback, constipation, hemorrhoids, wens, warts, 

 moles, corns, bunions, clubfoot, gout, etc. The 

 pedal extremities are particularly under the effect 

 of Nitrogen, from the same subjectivity, or weight. 

 Nitrogen is also identified in the cause of tapeworm. 



Carbon, or Black, or Fatty diseases: Fatty degen- 

 eration of various organs, obesity, trichina spiralis 

 (Carbon and Phosphorus), and all complex diseases, 

 as diabetes and Bright's disease. Carbon may be 

 either especially active, as in fatty degeneration, or 

 subjective, like Nitrogen, according to the superior or 

 inferior force of the Phosphorus and Hydrogen. It 

 is presumed, from description, that one or more of 

 the ancient plagues arose from Carbon. The bubonic 

 plague of India, and the beri-beri of the tropics, from 

 the closest descriptions, point to Phosphorus and 

 Hydrogen as the combined cause, through a great lack 

 of Nitrogen and Carbon. Lack of certain kinds of 

 food products that would tend to supply the required 

 relation of Nitrogen and Carbon in the mechanism 

 no doubt nourishes the cause of the disease. 



42. Satellites are compressed masses of nebulous 

 matter that are entirely lacking in Hydrogen, but 

 abounding in Phosphorus, Nitrogen and Carbon. 

 These luminous bodies, wherever existing, have been 

 accidentally cut off from the greater mass of the 

 planet matter, by the force of the Nitrogen-Carbon 

 current, in the early period of creation. A close 

 introspection of the motions and other mysteries of 

 satellites proclaims them to be subjective masses of
