before humanity's best birthright--the quality of healthy blood, kind
nature's ample gift to all,--could be wrested from the selfish hand of
tyranny and mankind enabled to secure from nature's willing hand the
succour that an Infinite Providence offers to disease.

A physician to whom I once explained my theories, heard me for some
minutes and then he said "Well, and so you want to create healthy blood
in this way?" "Yes, surely," I replied. "We have no use for that," he
callously exclaimed, "there would _be no business in that_."

_Hence Mankind must degenerate and Disease of all kinds ride rampant_
through the land, rather than upset the firmly rooted fallacies of the
past or foil the ghoul-like greed of a certain set of conscienceless
practitioners.

To the first of these the terse old Latin satire would apply:

"Homine imperito nunquam quidquam injustius
Qui, nisi quod ipse fecit, nihil rectum putat."

(Terentius.)


"Who is there so unreasoning as he, that learned drone,
Who reckons nothing perfect save what he himself hath known."

(M.B.)

To the second let an outraged public reply.
