t be kept in perpetual motion to
cultivate and be kept in healthy condition, or the world would wither
and die, and go to the tombs of space, to join the funeral procession of
other dead worlds. Thus you see all nature comes and goes by the fiat of
wisely adjusted laws.

NO SATISFACTION FROM AUTHORS.

Read all the authors from AEsculapius to this date, and all combined
leave the inquirers without a single fact as to the cause or causes of
fever.

One says fever may come from too much carbon. Another says chemical
defects may be the cause.

I would like to agree with some of the good men of our date or the
ancient theorists if I could, but they, both dead and alive, are a blank
except the tons of paper they have covered all over with conjectures,
and closed out by the words "Perhaps so's and howevers" spoken in all
tongues and languages on earth.

All have explored for centuries for the cause of fevers, and on return
from their multiple voyages say, we hope some day to find the cause. We
have killed many dogs experimenting, but have failed to find the cause
of fever.

ANIMAL HEAT.

To think of fever, we think of animal heat. By habit we want to know how
great the heat is. We measure by a yard stick till we find we have 100
deg., 102 deg., 104 deg., to 106 deg., at this point we stop as we find
too many yards of red calico to suit the size of the purse of life. Which
we think cannot consume more than 106 yards of heat. We begin to ask for
the substances that are more powerful than fire. We try all known fire
compounds and fail. The fire department had done faithful work, and all
it could bring to bear on the fire. It had put on hose and steam, knocked
shingles off and windows out, but not until the fire had ruined the house
with all its inside and outside usefulness and beauties. Another and
another house gets on fire and burns just as the first did. All are
content to see the ruins and say it is the will of the Lord; never
thinking for a moment that it was with the aid of the heart that the
brain burned up the body.

Of what use is a knowledge of anatomy to man if he overlooks cause and
effect in the results obtained by the machinery that anatomy should
teach? He finds each part connected to all others with the wisdom that
has given a set of plans and specifications that are without a flaw or
omission. The body generates its own heat and modulates to suit climate
and season. It can generate through its ele
