tic proposition were Il not for our
memory of its antecedent, remarks the
North American Revieo. 1t is now
about 90 years since Pasteur perceived
in the fermentation of beer and wine
the principle which emboldened him
TO declare that we should one day learn
TO eliminate all communicable diseases
from the world. Blot, Dumas and
other veterans of science were incredu-
lous. But crying "Travaillierl tour
jours travaillier!" the young master of
them all proceeded TO cure first the
sickness" of beer and wine, then the
"silkworm disease" then a formidable
poultry pestilence, then one OF the
deadliest plaques of cattle.
Having thus worked his way up in
the scale of life, he addressed him
self by the same methods to the saliva
ton of man from what had been re-
garded as the most hopeless and hor-
rible of diseases, rabies, and thus
opened the way Of Lister, of Koch, of
Finlay and Carroll, and to all the I'M
speakably beneficent wonders of the
science of bacterial therapeutics. If
thus Pasteur found in an atom of yeast
the cure for rabies, typhoid, cholera,
malaria, yellow fever, diphtheria and
bubonic plague, there is no occasion
for skepticism when his disciple, Metal
nikow, suggests that in the larva OF
a butterfly may be found the cure
for other pestilences.
