THE BIOLOGY OF DAILY LIFE. Ill 



driven in the first place to the surface for 

 expulsion. . . . 



" Yeast or pus, as engendered directly from 

 that which is absorbed from the food in 

 digestion, Nature is able as a rule, under 

 ordinary circumstances, to expel daily almost 

 as rapidly as it is produced in the blood. 

 But not so the inoculated pus ; nothing short 

 of a radical change in the mode of life, or an 

 epidemic state of the atmosphere, and an 

 eruption of small-pox, will eradicate it, because 

 it is a superadded load of a more degraded 

 form of the parasite" (p. 112). 



ORIGIN OF DISEASES AND FOURFOLD CLASSIFICATION OF 



THEM. 



FIRST FORM. Simple inflammatory form, a 

 " fermentation" caused by leucocytes. 



"When diseases are traced back to their 

 true origin, it will be found that they have all 

 sprung from one fundamental abnormal con- 

 dition, which may be designated as the febrile 

 or inflammatory, as in colds, simple fever 

 rheumatic, and other inflammatory fevers, &c. 

 This condition is caused by using animal flesh, 

 fermenting and fermented foods and drinks, in 

 all of which are to be found the white cor- 

 puscle or yeast animalcule. 



SECOND FORM. The same (first form) com- 

 plicated by drugging, or any hindrance to 

 Nature's efforts at expulsion,, thereby com- 

 pelling a reabsorption.
