em if disease of the mucous membrane is to be healed by removing
its cause.

(c). The tenderness of this tissue is obvious, and experience has shown
how much it is exposed to changes in its normal condition, how easily an
increase or decrease in its main functions is brought about. While this
increase or decrease in many instances is a natural fight of nature
against the intrusion of opposing elements into the body, it frequently
assumes dimensions that are most unpleasant and seriously impair the
health, such as catarrhal conditions, all of which are due to poor or
degenerated cells of this tissue.

The frequent occurence of this form of disease shows the importance of
always supplying the cells of this tissue with the substances that keep
them in health, or if need be, will regenerate them.

(d). _Dose_: 1 gram or one-fourth of a heaping teaspoonful once or twice
daily will be found sufficient to supply the requirements.

In some instances this composition, as well as others, may be mixed with
the main composition Eubiogen, in order that the patient may digest it
more readily, especially in the case of a child.

Special directions must always be followed closely.

DECH-MANNA COMPOSITION No. VII.
DENTO AND OPHTHOGEN (TOOTH AND EYE CELL PRODUCER).

This refers to the enamel of the teeth and the crystalline lens of the
eye.

(a). Two special tissues of the human body, the close connection
between which has been observed and recognized but very little, contain
a predominant quantity of fluoride of lime, and consequently may be
placed under one heading in this system, although the basis for the
fluorate of the teeth is calcium, while the basis of the crystalline
lens of the eye is gelatine.

(b). I have composed this cell-food, containing the necessary fluoride
of lime, in this particular way in order to avoid too much
specialization. From long years of practical experience I have found
that the special cells of each tissue will take up only those
constituents which they need for the construction of their respective
tissue, as taught by the law of chemotaxis.

(c). Composition No. VII will be prescribed in case of tooth and eye
troubles. Any observant student of human nature will have noticed that
in severe cases of degeneration (as for instance, diabetes) not only one
of these two tissues mentioned above is affected, (as the decaying and
falling out of the teeth), but in most cases also the other (as catarac
