between which has been observed and recognized but very little, contain
a predominant quantity of fluoride of lime, and consequently may be
placed under one heading in this system, although the basis for the
fluorate of the teeth is calcium, while the basis of the crystalline
lens of the eye is gelatine.

(b). I have composed this cell-food, containing the necessary fluoride
of lime, in this particular way in order to avoid too much
specialization. From long years of practical experience I have found
that the special cells of each tissue will take up only those
constituents which they need for the construction of their respective
tissue, as taught by the law of chemotaxis.

(c). Composition No. VII will be prescribed in case of tooth and eye
troubles. Any observant student of human nature will have noticed that
in severe cases of degeneration (as for instance, diabetes) not only one
of these two tissues mentioned above is affected, (as the decaying and
falling out of the teeth), but in most cases also the other (as cataract
of the eye). Some doctors of course may ask what in the world the tooth
has to do with the eye. But, alas! they have yet much to learn. The two
are not so distinct from each other when one understands. I fear that
later on, when this method, which is the only true and natural one,
comes into practice, everything will be specialized to such an extent
that the real science of it will become so complicated that the
proverb--"Veritatis simplex oratio est"--(The language of truth is
simple)--will become entirely obsolete.

It is my endeavor to state the pure unvarnished truth, and in terms as
simple as possible; that is my mission.
