LOVE AND ITS HIDDEN HISTORY.
That spores, parasites, and animalculse are a frequent and often unsuspected cause of diseases of the body, and oftener the cayse of mental disturbance, may be judged of from the following taken from the u Boston Journal of Chemistry : ” “Cystitis. Dr. Bottini (of Navarre) has injected the bladder
in cases of cystitis with a solution of carbolic acid, one part to one hundred of water, and has obtained most unhoped-for success.
The putrefaction of the urine, due to its stagnation in the?
bladder, is combated, stopped, or prevented ; and the myriads of zoophytes and of pencillium glaucum, very abundant before its use, are no longer to be found in the pus or urine.” Giorn della Venetie. “ Parasites in Perspiration. Dr. Lemaire, of Paris, has been examining the coating of perspiration and dust formed upon the bodies of people who have passed ten or fifteen days without a bath, and finds in it millions of living parasites.” “ The Chicago Microscopical

A small epidemic of
whooping-cough having occurred in the locality where I live, I was induced to examine the vapor expired by several children affected with this malady, reputed contagious by the majority of observers. These vapors arising from the respiration of the little patients, presented a veritable world of infusoria, identical in all cases. The more numerous, which were also the most slender, may be classed with the species described by some under the name of Monas termo; by others, under that of Bacterium termo.
Others
in less number moved to and fro in the field of the instrument. They had a form resembling a bacillus, slightly spindle-shaped; their length was two to three hundreths of a millimetre; tlieir breadth, about a fifth as much.
This is the species which Muller
named Monas punctum ; Ehrenberg, Bodo punctum; and which micrographers habitually class among the BacteriesBacterium bacillus.
Thus, whooping-cough, because of these alterations in
the expired air, belongs to the class of infectious maladies, of
