Editor Of The Farmer:
just now when there is so much be-
ing done to create a panic over chOl-
era it might be we'll to give the people
the benefit of few scientific expert
ments.
Munich, Germany, swallowed several
millions of the coma bacilli (germs of
Asiatic cholera). Professor Emm-
rich repeated the experiment a few
days later by swallowing a culture
containing many millions Of the chol-
era germs. For more than a week
these professors had countless mil
lions of the real cholera germs, taken
from the intestines of persons who
had died of Asiatic cholera in Ham
burg, in their ailmentary canals.
Strange as 1t may seem, neither OF
these physicians suffered any incon-
venience from the large quantities Of
active cholera c0ntagion swallowed.
DR.. Klein, of London, celebrated vi
visector, was another doubling Thorn
as, so he filled a wineglass full of
Koch's active cholera bacilli and swal-
lowed it. Again nothing at all hap
pened. This was about ten years ago
and he is alive to this day.
Then. again, Professor Metschnei-
koff, a renowned authority, says 'that
he has found the bacilli of Asiatic
cholera widely diffused in the waters
of many localities, while these same
localities were practically free from
cholera" also "the bacilli Of typhoid
fever has been found in inhabited To-
calities in which typhoid fever has
never been known to occur This
statement is corroborated by the tes-
timony Of many psychologists and
denied by none. About two years ago
Dr. Thresh, an English medical officer
Of health, swallowed by mistake a
glassful of the virulent typhoid bacilli
without the least injury or i'll results.
Gle gave this evidence in a, law court
DR.. Thomas Powell, of Los Angeles
has repeatedly allowed physicians and
psychologists to innoculate into his
body the germs of anthrax, CHAMBERS,
cancer, tuberculosis, diphtheria, scar
let fever and typhoid fever and has
never experienced any appreciate ef-
fects therefrom.
It is of importance to note that many
investigators who we're at one time
identified with the germ theory are
now on record as having abandoned
it as untenable. No less person than
DR.. Rudolph Virchow. who is conced-
ed to be the worlds leading authority
on this subject, is one of these. At
the thirteenth tr1ennial session of the
International Medical Congress, held
in Paris In 1908, he said: Microbes
are always found where there is dis
ease. They are also found where
there is no appreciable disease, and
may be the result and not the cause
of disease
DR.. Henry P. Loomis, Of New York
City, in the Medical Record Of July
20, 1905, showed that the germ Of tu-
berculosis does not appear in the
sputum Of a o5nsumptive for three
and a half months, on an average, from
the beginning Of the disease.
The so-called diphtheria germ
(Klebs-Loff1er bacillus) has been de-
tected in skin diseases, vaccine pus-
tules, emphysematous lungs and many
other conditions remote from diph-
iberia. DIR. Ritter demonstrated them in
the threats of 127 school children when
no diphtherfa was present. Many
times have these germs been swal-
lowed in immense numbers, also in
jected into the bodies of human be-
ings, and they have invariably failed
to produce anything resembling diph
liberia.
Therefore, the frantic efforts of our
health CO officials would be pitiful if
it were not plainly visible that this
whole thing is a frameup, and for the
purpose of creating a nationwide
panic so that the people will aid the
Medical Trust in the passage of the
Owen bill now pending in Congress.
