In his statement, which he calls
"The true story of DR.. F. w. Lange's
sensational discovery" he discusses in
very general terms his reported dis,
covery Of at least piece of the phi,

What l have been evolving may be
an apparent confirmation of the the.
DRY of alchemy. in which. however,

interest me are only such things as
can be done scientifically"
At the same time he asks in large

he says, 81 met party who threw out
a statement that led me to investigate
the combination of certain matrices by
the use of which synthetically larger
quantities of the elementary matter

This then is Doctor Lange's specific
claim that he is able to combine sill

alchemists believed that silver would
breed silver and gold.
AS to how far in his opinion the
growing Of silver can be carried, Doc

and that he has succeeded "in null
