And so we are not surprised to read in a later edition of the Times regarding the findings of the French savant. Dr.Nordman, in his studies of x-ray, solar ray and stellar rays, that he opines that cancer and many other physical ailments are due to the influence of the stars. Hippocrates, father of medicine, so believed, and a long line of the illustrious from Pythagorus down to Richelieu, Dryden, Bulwer, Byron and Emerson, so observed. Eminent divines, in righteous indignation, studied it to destroy it and were converted, saying with Kepler, “A most unfailing experience of sublunary natures, by the conjunction and aspects of the planets, has instructed and compelled my unwilling belief”.

He found that by this mode of preparation (though diminution of substance) the adaptedness of many medicines instead of decreasing was directly unfolded, that in such a manner prepared remedial agents exerted an action which could not be obtained by crude substances. Furthermore, the surprising fact was revealed that medicine-substances could pass through so many degrees of preparation that neither physics nor chemics were able to detect in them any amount of matter and yet preserved a great power of healing; the most poisonous substances could in this manner be transformed into beneficial, never injurious remedies, and easily decomposed substances, becoming inactive thereby, and easily decomposed substances, becoming inactive thereby, could be brought into a form in which they were no more exposed to decomposition and remained or became more powerful instruments of healing in the hands of an educated physician. AMEKE.
