Synopsis

Excerpt from Bread From Stones

For years mankind has tacitly accepted the idea that fertilizing must be done, in plain anglo-saxon, with filth - animal, bird or human excrement, rotten bones, sewage, rotten anything, reinforced, to be sure, with such chemical matter as nitre, super-phos phates, lime, etc. Yet every one knows that, despite all such matter put on the earth, the land is slowly but surely losing its fertility that insect pests increase, and, what is not so well known, the quality of the earth's pro ducts is deteriorating. Hensel saw what some day all the world will see, that plants require healthy food in order to flourish as much as man or beast does, and that sewage, etc., was not a healthy food.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This somewhat informal little booktranslatecl from the writings of Julius Hensel, and other German writers), is designed to introduce to the people of the United States a subject that is of vital importance to everyone, young and old. It is a subject in which all should take an interest, even if it be but a selfish one, for it concerns the health of the human race. Ten years ago Hensel, a thinker and a chemist, tentatively put forth his little work, The 31akrobiotic, and, later, a larger work, Das Leben. At first these attracted but little attention, but gradually an increasing number of readers sought those original books and new editions of both were called for. Each work was revised, largely rewritten and published in Germany by the publishing house of Boericke Tafel, Philadelphia, Pa., and at the same time the former was translated into English and published. As the titles show the subject treated is a large one Das Leben, or, Englished, The Life.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was the first work to attack Von Liebigs salt fertilizer thesis, and it stands as valid today as when first written over 100 years ago. Translated from the German writings of Julius Hensel, the book was designed to introduce the people of the U.S. to the idea that plants require healthy food in order to flourish, just as a human being does. It describes a then new and rational system for fertilization which has become science today fertilizing with stone dust. Hensel went searching for food for plants and found it in the primeval rocks. Fed on such foods, plants will yield healthy, wholesome and life sustaining food that escapes disease and parasites.
