Radam's Success in Texas.

Texas was then described as n good section for
an invalid. Thither Mir. Ralam went, and in
Austin, Tex. he purchased n tract OF land and
began the culture OF flowers and trees. IN n busl-
ness way he was successful. The trees he planted
and cultivated were shipped to California, and In
San Francisco to-day there are thousands OF his
shade trees. Throughout the State Of California
they can be found. and in Arizona, Lower Cali

ritories they also stand as monuments OF his In
dustry. The tract OF land he originally bought

became like a garden. by this time Mr.. Radam

and nurserymen OF the great West, and his name
was known throughout the East. where lie was

Suddenly the thought struck him that
what was true with plants might be true with
diseases in man were caused
by microbes. as diseases were caused In plants.
From that moment he was a changed man. He
said to himself that II he could Gnd some antisep-
tic that would destroy the microbes in his system
he might get well, This is the way he reasoned;
II there were microbes In his system which caused
his diseases. then there must be fermentation.
1t took but a moment to convince him that what
his lungs threw OF was nothing but fermentation.
Then, II he could but arrest this fermentation.
1t would signify that he had killed he microbes
which caused the fermentation.

Consequently he placed some fermentation which

How Fermentation Is Caused.

II took Mr.. Radam only another step TO dis
coyor that in reality the various kinds CT MI
crobes had a similar effect upon plants-thGt Is,
they attacked the plant and caused fermentation.
The rrlst on the rose leaves, he found, was nothing
but fermentation, the result OF the action OF mi
crobes. Tho rotting away OF the wood OF plants
was fermentation. He applied the theory to other
things with equal success.
Mr. Radan also noticed that plants inherit the
seeds Of TIE microbes. On many occasions he

flowers and trees. He never expected to enter

Of giving up the forIs; business to engage in

there grew upon him the desire to know what
effect the medicine would have upon others. II
he had made no mistake In his theory oil dis-
eases were caused by microbes, and in order to
prevent fermentation. which Is really disease
itself caused by microbes, an antIseptic was need

out injuring the person taking the medicine. He
could prevent fermentation, as already shown by
his experiments with the pieces OF fresh meat.
By the use Of his gas-impregnated water he had
arrested fermentation In his own body and cured
himself when he had been told by his physicians
that he only had a short time at most to live,
