    proper balance of inorganic salts. Fever is from a Latin word, “fcbris” or “fervor,” to be bot, or boil out, and is caused by rapid motion of blood, causing friction. The cause of the rapid motion has been already explained. The true explanation of fever and its pathology has never before been given. The cause and cure of disease was never known until the Sun of Biochemistry shed its beams over the world. It comes as a great light to the dwellers in darkness and error. It is at once as simple and sublime as all truth. Before its re¬ fulgent rays, poisons flee away. Disease is changed to a phan¬ tom of the night. The aged and infirm rejoice, and hope once again comes to dwell in their habitations. Children learn its glorious matters and wonder why every one has not always understood it. A Huxley lifts up his voice to advance the cause in an International Congress. A Virchow laid the foun¬ dation broad and deep in all his writings and lectures. A Schuessler, learned in pathology and every branch of science, familiar with the deeps of the wonderful system, student of physiology and biology, who traced back through its mysteri¬ ous wanderings the wonderful stream of life, from cell to phy¬ sical structure, and proclaimed all disease to be nature’s cry for food—he, too, proclaimed the truths of Biochemistry. The researches of this scholar has cleared away the rubbish of ages; overthrown poisons as remedies for the sick; shown the error of similia similibus curantur as a basis of the law of cure; proven that to supply deficiencies in human blood is the true materia medica, and laid a broad and solid foundation upon which to rear the fair temple of scientific healing. Schuessler did for the biochemic theory what Sir William Blackstone did for the science of jurisprudence, in his com¬ mentaries upon the common laws of England. Biology shows Biochemistry to be a science. The practi¬ cal counterpart of the abstract science of Virchow’s “Cellular Pathology is formed by cellular therapeutics, or the system of introducing molecular cell-salts. Biochemic treatment is the outcome of the teachings of biology and those sciences
