preparations, instruments, drugs, and hygienic apparatus.

He has studied with celebrities in the capitals, who only retain
patients who can be cured in the hospital, or who, in the course of
their cure, can purchase the appliances requisite for healing, and
even go at once from the North to the South, to some baths or other.
Science is of such a nature, that every rural physic-man laments
because there are no means of curing working-men, because he is so

hygienic conditions; and at the same time this physician complains
that there are no hospitals, and that he cannot get through with his
work, that he needs assistants, more doctors and practitioners.

What is the inference? This: that the people's principal lack,
from which diseases arise, and spread abroad, and refuse to be
healed, is the lack of means of subsistence. And here Science,
under the banner of the division of labor, summons her warriors to
the aid of the people. Science is entirely arranged for the wealthy
classes, and it has adopted for its task the healing of the people
who can obtain every thing for themselves; and it attempts to heal
those who possess no superfluity, by the same means.

But there are no means, and therefore it is necessary to take them

the people say that this matter has been, as yet, but little
developed. Evidently it has been but little developed, because if
(which God forbid!) it had been developed, and that through
oppressing the people,--instead of two doctors, midwives, and
practitioners in a district, twenty would have settled down, since
