(b) Bacteriological Research An example of the practical use of clairvoyance as an aid to medical research is given in die following account of experimental investigation in the sphere of bacteriology. After many years of research some investigators have come to attach great importance to a group of intestinal bacteria as causes of chronic disease. They distinguish a number of varieties of these organisms, and make from them vaccines for treatment. The remedial doses made from cultures from each bacillus, and administered to the person from whom the original was extracted, have proved strikingly effective, and the results would seem to indicate that great possibilities exist in this method of treatment. A detailed clairvoyant study of these “nosodes” has afforded information as to their nature and characteristics, which has proved accurate when checked with other sources of information. The cultures from a number of persons were diluted by the homoeopathic process to the 30th potency. The degree of dilution was such that no known chemical or bacteriological test disclosed the presence of anything but aqua distillata, with which the dilution was made. A number of such specimens were enclosed in small glass tubes, with no other marking but a single recording figure, and were investigated by clairvoyance. In all eases, although the nature of the dilution was unknown to anyone present during the investigations, the results were entirely consistent, the same phenomena and characteristics were described, with the variations made from the same organism. In general it appeared that each remedy had distinct attributes peculiarly individual to themselves, and also conveying the individuality of the person from whom the original germs had been taken. In some cases it was possible to trace a connection to the source, and describe the sex, age, and other particulars of the patient. Two such observations, made on different dates, will be sufficient to serve as
