The oxygen principle throughout nature is Phos 

 phorus in disguise, and in natural compacl with its 

 counterpart elemenl Hydrogen. The atomic rela- 

 tions of the science of chemistry, as the hitter is now 

 constructed, arc simply theoretical, and their actions 

 i I lusionary. 



5. The modern chemical laboratory furnishes 

 proof of the existence and action of acids, bases and 

 salts, and attributes the acid action to oxygen, in 

 varying atomic relations with other elemental matter 

 The absolute truth concerning the attractions and 

 repulsions of chemical matter, which are designated 

 as the acid affinities for bases, the union of which 

 results in salts, is hereby given: Phosphorus exists 

 throughout the length and breadth of the universe as 

 the great natural Acid. Consequently, in the matter 

 of the chemical laboratory it is still the acid principle. 

 Phosphorus is always, throughout the entire universe, 

 in natural contact or relation with Hydrogen, and 

 can, with the greatest difficulty only, be separated 

 from it; neither can it be held secure from it in the 

 open atmosphere under any circumstances. Hydro- 

 gen is, therefore, the great Base principle of nature. 

 Water is one of the natural forms of acid and base. 

 It is this embedded matter (Hydrogen) in the sup- 

 posed elemental bases of the science of chemistry that 

 is the cause of the affinity that is known to exist 

 between the composite acids and the composite bases 

 of the science. 



6. Phosphorus is the most violently vibrating 

 element in the universe, and exists only, in cumula- 

 tive force, at various separated points. It is the 

 violent active principle in all fires, or flames, or 

 sparks, or incandescence, or acids, or luminosity in 

 any form throughout the whole universe. It is 

 present in every cell of the organic kingdoms, and, of 

 course, is present in every cell of t he human body.
