Synopsis
Excerpt from The Soil in Relation to Health
Few people are without ideas and opinions on the advantages and disadvantages of different kinds of soil, but how many of them base their opinions on any real knowledge of the properties of the ground? Owing to the absence of a little special knowledge which does not happen to enter into the conversation or literature of every-day life, many of the ideas prevalent upon these subjects may well be classed with those popular delusions which still cling even to educated minds.
Of course there may be, and generally is, a certain element of truth in popular ideas, however erroneous.
To take an outside case for example - The knowledge that sulphur is insoluble in water would show the absurdity of placing a piece of sulphur in a dog's drinking water, yet this ceremony is performed in every well-regulated dog-kennel - possibly because it was long ago known that sulphur administered by the mouth or used as an inunction has some curative effect in certain cutaneous diseases of the dog.
