A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The first edition of this book, published in 1890, gave the world a new theory and established new principles. I ts teachings were that there is only one disease decay ;that it is caused by fermentation; and that all fermentation is caused by microbes. It was sent forth as a messenger that the doors of Science had been opened, and the seed scattered has borne abundant fruit. The three or four so-called diseases then admitted by scientists to be caused by microbes have multiplied, until the number includes all diseases, and the authors theory has been permanently established. But a book written in the infancy of a new discovery is necessarily incomplete. Scarcely had the first edition appeared when the author began the preparation of the revised edition. Step by step he proved the correctness of his new principles, until they can be no longer doubted. Ceaselessly he toiled in his laboratory with the fermentation of disease, propagating the microbes which caused that fermentation, watching them grow in physicians medicines or die in his own antiseptics, or photographing them with the object of making them visible to everybody. The results of those years of patient investigation are given in this revised edition. His photographs of the microbes which cause the fermentation of the various so-called diseases are reproduced with exactness, making a valuable contribution to medical science. In place of the cumbersome appendix, which treated of subjects then held as possibilities, but which are now generally admitted, are special chapters giving the results of the authors personal investigations. No attempt has been made to make the revised edition a literary effort. The author has a message to give to the world, to science, to humanity, and it is given in simple words and in the plainest manner possible. William Radam. New York City, March,

Présentation de l'éditeur

It withstood the severest trial, and maintained itself under all circumstances. It promised to reform existing methods in the treatment of disease, to expose the errors that have been for centuries in vogue, to simplify human knowledge in fields of vital moment to the health and welfare of my fellow-men. Sweeping in its influence it was simple in its nature, and calculated to wipe out all the complexities of hygienic and curative principles by its oneness and intensity. If I had withheld it, I should justly have exposed myself to condemnation, and might, with equal propriety, have been called upon to justify my conduct; to make it known is, therefore, a duty which I owe to myself, and yet more to the people who must be benefited by my work. I ll-health had long held me in its toils. Every curative resource known to medical science had failed to afford me relief. My condition was growing worse, and hope was well nigh abandoned, when, in the line of my life-long studies, I found something that did what physicians and their materia medica had not done. I applied to my own case principles which I had learned were those of Nature herself, and they profited me where art had not availed. As soon as this result was realized, and I had leisure to weigh the full force of my discovery, I began to look backward, and to reason from the results of my experience back to first causes. My sufferings had been complex, my ailments had been various, and, according to medical theory, very different in origin and kind. But one form of treatment cured me, and the inference was inevitable that, if one method sufficed for a few diseases, it would probably suffice for more, and possibly for all.
