tended the treatment applied to pumo-
nary tuberculosis. Not less surprising from
the point of view of rapidity are the re-
suits obtained in treating adults for the
different maladies of the stomach and in
testines. as well as in every kind of muco-
membranous enteritis and chronic consti-
patton NJ. Quinton tells me that IL per
cent of the cases of muco-membranous
enteritis and the most obstinate intestinal
sluggishness, which have resisted every
treatment and years of dieting. are trans
formed in the space of twentyfo four hours
In other words. the cure is apparent from
the first injection. In 10 per cent of these
cases the cure is apparent after the fifth
or sixth injection. Only IL per cent of the
cases prove refractory.
NJ. Quinton has opened popular dis
pensary close to the Montparnasse station
In the midst of a crowded district. Every
day for some months past you might
have seen in the Rue de rArrivee, where
the dispensary is situated, over 200 pa

charged fees varying from fifty centimes

dispensary consists Of vast waiting room,
four private rooms. where the injections
are made: a laboratory. n weighing room
and two consulting rooms. The doctors,
generous and devoted propagandists OF
the new treatment are Robert Simon,
Pierre Laffitte. Aries. Eourganel. Chauv-
ain and de Lambert. The nurses, who

ment that authors of established reputa-
ton are apt to get at the critics nahdS.

author. that they tell about Dr. Grace

But at the end of the over TINS umpire

as in an aquarium fish life IS impossible
without sea water. so the life of our or
sanic cells is impossible without this sea
water of which we are constituted
NJ. Quinton proved his theory by an ex-
pertinent which now has become historic
He took a dog and blej il to the last
drop of blood in it's veins. The animal
lay on the operating table 10 all appear
anees dead. Then the operator injected a
quantity of sea water equal to that of the
blood lost. whereupon the dog revived
and was soon running about as though
the operation had never taken place In
his conference at the Sorbonne NJ.
Quinton projected on the limelight screen
a photograph of the dog in question,
taken four years after the above exper:-
ment was performed. Needless to say.
similar experiments were repeated a great
number of times. and not only were the
subjects" completely restored to health
five days later. but it was noted that they
had gained in visor. and were all alive
some years afterward

not be overestimated, for il brought to
light one OF the prinlor,iial elements of
life. NJ. Quinton has thus shown us what
is the liquid Indispensable to the life of
our organic cells. We now possess the
culture broth" ot the organic cell Our
existence is bound up in the purity and
integrity of the broth of marine culture.
Normal life is only possible in SO far as
nothing pollutes or changes this inner
oceanic medium, and it is this fact which
forms the point OF departure for the ap-
plication in medicine of Quinton's method
Every malady is a poisoning of the
blood due TO the waste formed The or
ganism suffers from this modification of
its natural medium The injection of
sea water ourifies this polluted medium
just as fresh air renovates the yitiated
atmosphere of room. 1t is therapeu-

over and above that of temperature BY
a chain of irrefutable proofs, he next
demonstrated the marine origin of al liv-
ing beings or. in other words. that living
beings made their first appearance in the
lap of the ocean. This theory is now &C
cepted without question by scientists.
Now" said NJ. Quinton. lis there not a
tendency in all animal organisms to main
tain their origin for the inner life of
their cellular organisms, just as they tend
to maintain the original temparature?'
Again the savant was able to prove, by a
series of experiments and analyses. that
this was true of all animal organisms
from the lowest OF the scale. such as
sponges TO the highest, man himself
through the whole series of living forms:
worms. mollusks crustaceans, insects.
reptiles birds and nlamnlalians.
After seven years of patient and ardu-
Gus research in his laboratory, NJ. Quinton
came forth with the startling statement
that man is a veritable sea aquarium;
that his blood is really an oceanic liq
uid in which red globules battle. All
parts OF our bodies are bathed in sea
water, the remains of the medium in
which our ancestors lived Every anima,
organism, whether worm, dog. horse or
man, is composed of sea water TO one
third OF its weight, of real sea water. in
which all the living cells battle and
breathe: secrete and eNcrete. A man of
l6S pounds contains nftysiS pounds of
sea water. This sea water is the vital
liquid of the organic cells. the liquid
without which life would be literally i'm
