The Hahnemannian monthly . nimal life come from ? It was not in theplant when put in, and it was not in the water in which the rootwas. The bacillus tuberculosis may be an absolute sign that con-sumption is present, but it is not the cause.

Before consumption develops, we have many premonitory condi-tions, produced by malnutrition acting on the constitutional predis-position, increasing dyspepsia, one of the chief.
