Woman's Institute Library of Cookery Volume 1: Essentials of Cookery; Cereals; Bread; Hot Breads This view may seem very ridiculous to the majority, for it is a strong tenet of popular medical belief today that micro-organisms are the cause of most diseases. Maintaining Health Formerly Health and Efficiency Pasteur, L., Huxley repeats his experiments on micro-organisms. Life and Letters of Thomas Henry Huxley — Volume 3 There are many kinds of fermentation, each with its own special form of minute plant life or micro-organism. A Practical Physiology I am convinced that among them would be found growths of the micro-organism of furuncles. The Harvard Classics Volume 38 Scientific Papers (Physiology, Medicine, Surgery, Geology) Likewise, vegetables without skins decay faster than those with skins, because they have no protective covering and contain more water, in which, as is definitely known, most micro-organisms thrive. Woman's Institute Library of Cookery Volume 1: Essentials of Cookery; Cereals; Bread; Hot Breads But there surely had been no time for such micro-organisms to develop, even in the almost tropic heat of the Novella. The Dream Doctor The atrophying muscles of the digestive tube, unable to hurry on the mixed products of indigestion; fermentation; and micro-organisms inciting fermentations and elaborating toxic alkaloids, poison and disorder the functions of life. The Four Epochs of Woman's Life; a study in hygiene This special form of fermentation is known as alcoholic or vinous fermentation, and the micro-organisms that cause it are familiarly termed alcoholic ferments. A Practical Physiology I found them full of micro-organisms of many kinds. The Harvard Classics Volume 38 Scientific Papers (Physiology, Medicine, Surgery, Geology) If food is to be kept from decaying, the housewife must endeavor to prevent the growth of micro-organisms, and she can best accomplish this if she is familiar with the ways in which they work. Woman's Institute Library of Cookery Volume 1: Essentials of Cookery; Cereals; Bread; Hot Breads Some of these processes are wholly brought about by bacterial life; in others the micro-organisms aid the process, though they perhaps can not be regarded as the sole agents. The Story of Germ Life According to the theory of bacteriology a micro-organism is to blame for appendicitis. Appendicitis When the expired air is condensed in a cold receiver, the aqueous product is found to contain organic matter, which, from the presence of micro-organisms, introduced in the inspired air, is apt to putrefy rapidly. A Practical Physiology It has been shown positively that acute endocarditis is due to micro-organisms, generally streptococci, staphylococci or pneumococci, and, more frequently than once believed, gonococci. Disturbances of the Heart As has been pointed out, it is not the mere presence of micro-organisms that causes the spoiling of food, but their constant growth. Woman's Institute Library of Cookery Volume 1: Essentials of Cookery; Cereals; Bread; Hot Breads It seems certain also that these fermentations are wholly or chiefly produced by microorganisms, and that the character of the fermentation is in large measure dependent upon the species of micro-organisms that produce it. The Story of Germ Life The micro-organisms are present wherever there is life and are as necessary to life as they are to death. Appendicitis Diseased hides carry this micro-organism, and thus may occasion disease among those who handle hides and wool. A Practical Physiology There are also a smaller number of white corpuscles, that are known as phagocytes, whose mission is to destroy micro-organisms that are prejudicial to life. The Royal Road to Health The other method of keeping food, namely, DRYING, depends for its success on the fact that such micro-organisms as bacteria cannot grow unless they have a considerable quantity of moisture or water. Woman's Institute Library of Cookery Volume 1: Essentials of Cookery; Cereals; Bread; Hot Breads Canning meats or fruits consists in nothing more than bringing them into a condition in which they will be preserved from attack of these micro-organisms. The Story of Germ Life The recognized literature of the day attributes all infectious disease to germs or micro-organisms. Appendicitis Living micro-organisms have never been detected in breezes coming from the sea, but in those blowing out from the shore large numbers may be found. A Practical Physiology And when the white men imported in their ships these various micro-organisms or disease, the Typeans crumpled up and went down before them. The Cruise of the Snark These men, working independently, had reached the conclusion, about 1837, that the micro-organisms play a vastly more important role in the economy of nature than any one previously had supposed. A History of Science — Volume 4 It is an interesting fact that this method of preserving meats was devised in the last century, before the relation of micro-organisms to fermentation and putrefaction was really suspected. The Story of Germ Life Diseases are parasites, and it must not be forgotten that just as there are drifts in the world of man, so are there drifts in the world of micro-organisms—hunger-quests for food. A Collection of Stories They affect us no more than the smallest micro-organism, for we see both with equal clearness. A journey in other worlds A romance of the future We who are alive are the immune, the fit—the ones best constituted to live in a world of hostile micro-organisms. The Cruise of the Snark They even came to hold, at least tentatively, the opinion that the somewhat similar micro-organisms to be found in all putrefying matter, animal or vegetable, had a causal relation to the process of putrefaction. A History of Science — Volume 4 At the very bottom we find this never-ending exhibition of vital power dependent upon certain activities of micro-organisms. The Story of Germ Life We do not know whether these diseases are merely the drifts, in a fresh direction, of already-existing breeds of micro-organisms, or whether they are new, absolutely new, breeds themselves just spontaneously generated. A Collection of Stories In 1878, followed his study on the "AEtiology of Wound Infections," in which he was able to demonstrate conclusively the association of micro-organisms with the disease. The Evolution of Modern Medicine A Series of Lectures Delivered at Yale University on the Silliman Foundation in April, 1913 In the blood and lymph of man and other animals there are present certain products which have a direct deleterious influence upon the growth of micro-organisms. The Story of Germ Life Indeed, it was currently regarded as settled that the early students of the subject had vastly over-estimated the importance of micro-organisms. A History of Science — Volume 4 The life of the globe is, in short, dependent upon these micro-organisms. The Story of Germ Life Multitudinous as man is, all his totality of individuals is as nothing in comparison with the inconceivable vastness of numbers of the micro-organisms. A Collection of Stories At the outset the tobacco producer has to contend with a number of micro-organisms which may produce diseases in his tobacco. The Story of Germ Life These appear to be produced by micro-organisms of different sorts. The Story of Germ Life He proved that the micro-organisms do all that his most imaginative predecessors had suspected, and more. A History of Science — Volume 4 Now comes in the agency of still another class of micro-organisms, the existence of which has been demonstrated to us during the last few years. The Story of Germ Life In the several fermentative processes which occur in the preparation there is no question that micro-organisms aid the tobacco producer and manufacturer. The Story of Germ Life In the process of decomposition which is going on through the agency of micro-organisms, a considerable part of the nitrogen is dissipated into the air in the form of free nitrogen. The Story of Germ Life At the very outset they sufficed to start afresh the inquiry as to the role played by micro-organisms in disease. A History of Science — Volume 4 |
