Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Transylvania Journal of Medicine and the Association Sciences: November, 1830
Were the present a suitable occasion to enter on the discus sion, it might be made appear highly probable, if not certain, that the primitive origin of all contagious poisons must be refer red to changes in dead matter. There would seem indeed to be no other source to which it can be referred. Such poisons must have had an existence before they could, by attacking the system of man, or any other animal, have reproduced their kind, And that existence must have been originally derived from some change in dead matter.
