Some men are natirally and habitually in vulnerable to particular contagions; and some men are proof against .the action of a contagion at one time, and liable to be affected by it at aitf>iber time^. Q^¥8Bft OF SttSMB* ^^W i wish^ here to call the ^articubr attealioQ of &e o'leacleyr to t^e maimer in which specific cont^gioos are generated and perpetuated, for the following reason: Many persons who have examined my theory of dis- ease, axkd given in their adherence to it in the main, find some... difficulty in reconciling this theory with contagious diseases; for, say they, there seems to he wrong action^ — something that keeps alive the conta- ^on — ^a poisonous agent. Contagions are not kept alive and propagated fr(Hn one individual to another, and from one generation to another by a kind of fermentative process; nor is the same identical matter kept alive by any process, any more than alcohol or any other poison is. A quantity of contagion is received into the system by inhalation or absorption, fastens upon those tissues that are ob- noxious to its action, and expends itself there, ^nd this is the last of that contagion.
