(To the Council of the ^Vcadnmi of ^ciencro,
of $an Francisco, California:
I respectfully ask your patient consideration of the
contents of the paper which I now place within your
keeping, and further ask that you retain it on tile
until such time as its information may be discovered
to lir of no value to science. This request is made,
not only in protection of my own personal interests
as the discoverer of the truths described within the
paper, hut as a recognition of the courtesy due your
official body, as executors of the Jack Trust, which,
you are well aware, was transferred to you for the
special advancement of science, or fundamental
truth. The contents of the paper, or its purported
discoveries, are of course placed within the keeping
of your council as ;r hody,-'U'i<ider the trust, or within
the keeping of any single member, or members,
or to any outsider that may he designated by your
council, to he utilized or reduced to practical inves-
tigation in any manner that you or they may deem
proper and expedient.
Regarding this matter that is now brought before
you, 1 will explain further that I have applied tor a
copyright upon a hook, setting forth in careful detail
what I deem to he convincing proofs of tin' truth of
the discoveries. Also have I sent to Washington a
paper similar to the one now before you, to he placed
on record in the proper department, and to which I
shall urge the attention, in the interest of absolute
truth, of any one competent, to force the matter to an
issue. Also have 1 already taken steps to -end an
appeal, through our American Consul at London, to
Victoria, Queen of England, laying the fact- before
her, which are now presented to you, and asking her
to call the attention of the Royal Society of England
to the fact that the science of chemistry as it is now
outlined and taught throughout the whole civilized
world is sadly in need of review and reconstruction.
I have also sent a paper, with explanations, to the
Royal Observatory at Greenwich, England. I make
these admissions to you to let you know that 1, as a
student of the same science, am urged onward by the
courage of my convictions, and firmly believe that 1
hold the key to a solution of many mysteries that
are at the present day agitating the entire field of
science ; and this, simply on account of errors that
exist in this great substratum of all the other super-
structural sciences.
As the proper handling of the methods of proof
involve an almost limitless field of minor or relative
discoveries, it will be impossible for me to present to
you in the paper anything more than a most restricted
outline of a few of the errors to which I have called
your attention.
1 wish to add further that these discoveries, after a
most rigid application of test by myself, during three
years, affect every other branch science now recog-
nized by the civilized world, and throw a flood of
light or understanding upon nearly all that has here-
tofore been regarded within those fields as unfathom-
able mysteries. This may seem to you a broad asser-
tion, but I am not willing to withdraw it until such
time as I may be convinced by others to be myself in
error of perception; a circumstance, 1 can consistently
prognosticate, that will never transpire. A recog-
nition of this fundamental truth now brought to your
notice, and hitherto unrecognized in all ages of the
world, whether it be applied as blind experimental
theory or assumed at the beginning as truth, throws
the light of understanding into every nook and corner
of the science of Astronomy, and reduces its unpro-
ductive theories ninety-nine per cent. It fixes the
5
exact constitution of the Sun, thai of interplanetary
space, explains the mysteries of comets and satellites,
and, if the investigator be imbued with the proper
degree of patience and a genuine desire for the truth,
will gradually enlarge his understanding and elevate
him to a rank worthy of twentieth-century progress.
It also fixes the constitution of the atmosphere of our
own earth and explains the invisible atomic pro-
cesses, through their effects, of the many meteorologi-
cal phenomena with which every one is familiar.
It also throws light into every nook and corner of
the great science of Healing (and who is there that
has not felt both admiration and pity for the dip-
plomaed devotees of this science, where so much is
enshrouded in mystery and the best of efforts are
little more than haphazard attempts to cure ?) In
this science it brings into plain view, in a majority of
cases, the causes of disease, and initiates new unrecog-
nized methods of diagnosing, and of applying reme-
dies for the harmonious condition that is recognized
as health. It also throws light into the science of
Anatomy, and explains most consistently the functions
of the various organs and matter of the body, and
those of the mysterious ductless glands. It further
gives insight into that most unscientific environment
of the human body, the Psychic realm of man, and
offers consistent explanations for its interminable
trail of mysteries. It reaches downward far beneath
the powers of the best microscope ever invented, and
divulges the actual connecting link between the
inorganic matter of the earth and its various organic
kingdoms ; and this, notwithstanding the contrary
opinions of such world-renowned men as Tyndall,
Huxley and others of equal rank. It places within
the keeping of man actual knowledge of the entire
science of Bacteriology, and gives him the power of
creating microbes at will, as well as the power of
recognizing their special causes and the power of dis-
integrating thera. In truth, there is no branch of
science, from the lowest to the highest, which does not
immediately begin to unfold its interminable mys-
teries to the clear light of ordinary perception under
the application of this hitherto unrecognized truth.
It also places within the keeping of science the means
of recognizing the transformation of matter in the
phenomenon of human death, and it no doubt will, in
the near future, it is my firm belief, furnish indis-
putable evidence, to be recognized and accepted by the
sciences of to-day, of the existence of the soul after
death.
Before enumerating a few of the discoveries which
1 have mentioned, it will be necessary for me to
call your attention to a few facts, in order that you
may clearly understand their exact nature and
outlines. You are aware that the securing of -all
knowledge, which the world is wont to call science,
is through the exercise of human sense, and particu-
larly through that of the eye and ear. One of the
discoveries made by myself is that the functions
of the various parts of the eye have always heretofore
been misunderstood; that they do not exist solely
for the purpose of refracting and converging rays of
"light" (a dubious term), hut for the additional
purpose of offering media for the continuity of like
matter through the atmosphere, through transparent
matter, through the eye to the optic nerve of
the retina, and thence, through similar matter of the
nerves, to the brain. The function of the lachrymal
glands not only aids their effect, hut operates the
additional function of presenting at all times a base
to mitigate the acid that is present in light.
The other preliminary fact to which 1 wish to call
your attention is thai the processes of the securing
of all knowledge are conducted in an atmosphere
the constituents of which have never, since the
foundations of the world were laid, been definitely
settled. A.gain, a so-called new constituent was
discovered in L894 only, by Lord Rayleigh and
Prof. Ramsay; so the world lias been informed.
Consequent^', when experiments are conducted by
men of renown in the various fields of science, in an
atmosphere the constitution of which is unknown,
and through the agency of " Light," when they
will openly acknowledge that they do not know
of what matter Light is composed; and through
the medium of the spectroscope and the lenses of
the microscope and telescope, as well as that of
the photographic camera; when they arc not cog-
nizant of the natural law governing cohesion, and
are not aware of the constitution of common trans-
parent glass, is it a matter of great « surprise that
these errors of so-called science have reacted and
have resulted in the propagation and accumulation
of illusions and mysteries that continue, even to the
present hour, to defy every human effort at solution ?
1 also wish to recall to your notice that the science
of Chemistry was given its present outline and
status at a conclave of representative men from the
foremost civilized countries, about fifteen years ago,
at London, and under the auspices of the Royal
Society of England. It is therefore my belief that,
aided by our American Consul in London, I may
he able to reach that branch of the Society that may
he the most closely affected by the errors to which
1 have alluded, and to engage its consideration of
them, which, it cannot he denied, seriously affect the
welfare of the whole human family.
I ask also to inform you that two years ago I
placed the matter of these discoveries in hook form
and sent it to the Humboldt Pub. Co., of New York.
The Company, after the lapse of nearly a year,
declined to purchase the MS., hut expressed a
favorable opinion of its contents, ami promised that
if another Publishing linn would bring the matter
8
before the public, it would do all it could to push
the sale of the book in New York and elsewhere.
The contents of the book, as you will soon learn,
completely overturns the science of Chemistry, and
presents its matter with the interminable properties
of the latter, in an entirely new light. The con-
servatism and caution of the Company were therefore
only justifiable. Upon the advice of this Company,
I then sent the matter to a Chicago firm for in-
spection. The latter firm did, upon its receipt,
submit its matter to a number of critics, who finally
were " unable to arrive at any decision " concerning
the truth of the subject matter, and I was duly
informed of the fact. After this I sent an outline
of the 'matter of the book, with its various dis-
coveries, which are very great in number, being-
culled from nearly all the branch sciences, to both I).
Appleton & Co., and Harper Bros., of New York; also
to the Houghton, Mifflin Co., of Boston. The former
two declined even to look at a MS., that attempted,
unsupported, to overthrow a scientific structure that
had stood, uncriticised, during a whole century. The
latter firm agreed to inspect the book, but candidly
expressed their doubts of the merit of a work of
such great latitude. After this experience I decided
that my endeavors to have the book published,
except at my own private expense, would be perfectly
useless, on account of the inability of the readers
or critics of these or other Publishing Companies
to handle the matter in a manner to mold public
opinion. The truth of the purported discoveries
ought to be, I am now convinced, settled by a
number of the scientific world's representative men,
in a body, and not by any Publishing firm's hired
"reader" or critic. I am, therefore, at the present
time without the funds that I otherwise should have
had, could I have disposed of my MS., and am con-
sequently compelled to appeal to you for assistance.
To the end thai I may be able to go eastward
and to bring these discoveries to the notice of
prominent men in our own country, thai they may
be thoroughly investigated; also, that I maybe able
to visit Europe and to bring to the notice of in-
vestigators, not only in England, but in France and
Germany, that the science of Chemistry as now
outlined is sadly in need of reform; also, in order
that 1 may possess unrestricted freedom during
ray visit in overcoming the prejudices (should any
exist) and accumulated errors of a century, 1 must
receive financial support, either from your council,
in furtherance of the intentions of James Lick, or
from some outside source that may he reached by
your council or any of its members. It i> a sacred
duty, the performance of which, if undertaken alone,
might fail of beneficial results.
And with these preliminary remarks, I now-
lay before you, in your official capacity, a small
number of discoveries, culled from my hook, and
that have been made during a few years' close study <>t
the Various sciences. I am,
Yours with great respect,

EXTRACTS FROM
Atomism, or the Science of Color
By EMMA G. TODD.
(Copyrighted l8g8. >
1. All the matter within the universe, both within
<>ur planetary system and without, as far as human
eye can reach through the most effective telescope
ever invented, is composed of four gases only. Conse-
quently, the seventy (and over) elements of the
science of chemistry, with these four exceptions only,
are an illusion, the means being at hand, at all times,
of disintegrating all of them into their natural con-
stituents.
2. Oxygen does not exist as an element, hut is
composite. All metals are composed of the four
gases in cohesion, in varying proportions. Mercury is
composed of three gases. Chlorine of two gases.
Sulphur of two predominating gases, and lesser vibra-
tions of the other two. All of the other suspicious
elements of the science of chemistry, excepting the
four gases herein specified, are composed of the four
(or three) gases mentioned, in varying proportions.
3. The chemical laboratory and spectrum analysis
furnish absolute proof of the composition of all the
so-called elements of the science of chemistry, with
four exceptions only, which are absolute elements.
4. The four gases, or four elements of the universe,
are here named in the order of their importance :
Hydrogen.
Phosphorus.
( Jarbon.
Nitrogen.
11
The oxygen principle throughout nature is Phos
phorus in disguise, and in natural compacl with its
counterpart elemenl Hydrogen. The atomic rela-
tions of the science of chemistry, as the hitter is now
constructed, arc simply theoretical, and their actions
i I lusionary.
5. The modern chemical laboratory furnishes
proof of the existence and action of acids, bases and
salts, and attributes the acid action to oxygen, in
varying atomic relations with other elemental matter
The absolute truth concerning the attractions and
repulsions of chemical matter, which are designated
as the acid affinities for bases, the union of which
results in salts, is hereby given: Phosphorus exists
throughout the length and breadth of the universe as
the great natural Acid. Consequently, in the matter
of the chemical laboratory it is still the acid principle.
Phosphorus is always, throughout the entire universe,
in natural contact or relation with Hydrogen, and
can, with the greatest difficulty only, be separated
from it; neither can it be held secure from it in the
open atmosphere under any circumstances. Hydro-
gen is, therefore, the great Base principle of nature.
Water is one of the natural forms of acid and base.
It is this embedded matter (Hydrogen) in the sup-
posed elemental bases of the science of chemistry that
is the cause of the affinity that is known to exist
between the composite acids and the composite bases
of the science.
6. Phosphorus is the most violently vibrating
element in the universe, and exists only, in cumula-
tive force, at various separated points. It is the
violent active principle in all fires, or flames, or
sparks, or incandescence, or acids, or luminosity in
any form throughout the whole universe. It is
present in every cell of the organic kingdoms, and, of
course, is present in every cell of t he human body.
[ts presence in the eye may be detected by any one
[2
by gentle pressure upon the eyeball. This light in
the eye has Long been regarded by certain branches of
the medical profession as an abnormal condition of
the matter of the organ, and has been designated
Phoiopsia. Other scientists of a late day have ex-
pressed the belief that the eye absorbs light during
the day, and retains it for a certain period, and that
while present in the eye it may he detected. The
fundamental truth concern in: g these theories is that
the eye, or organ of sight, is the one important
medium of correlation between the. photosphere of the
sun, its diffused matter, and the evolved brain. The
same embedded phosphorus, or medium of light,
which is only sensation of phosphorus-vibration, may
be witnessed in the eyes of many animals, particularly
in those of the cat. The phosphorescence of the ocean.
the light of the fire-fly and glow-worm, thousands of
varieties of which exist in the tropical regions, are a
few evidences of the existence of Phosphorus in sub-
jective relation with other elements.
7. A violent natural affinity exists between Phos-
phorus and Hydrogen. The same affinity exists
between Phosphorus and Carbon. The affinity that
exists between the former two tend, however, to a
mitigation of the acid or burning principle by the
Hydrogen in its function as the subjecting element.
The affinity that exists between the Phosphorus and
the Carbon, on the contrary, tend to the greatest
danger, on account of the special function of Carbon,
which is aggregation.
8. The function of each of the four gases is as fol-
lows: That of Phosphorus is violent disintegration.
Thai of Carbon is violent aggregation. That of
Hydrogen is amelioration or reduction of vibration,
on accounl of quantity and fineness of atoms. On
this account it yields to compression with difficulty.
and is accorded the position as thestandard of weight
among the other elements. The (unction of Nitrogen
L3
is reduction of the vibration of the cell, the three
other elements being extremely violent. In the reduc-
tion of the motions of the composite cell, however,
Nitrogen is invariably aided by the composite matter
of water. It is on this account that no organic king-
dom can evolve without the aid of water. Nitric acid
is an example of matter where thesubjective Nitrogen
is in loose double compact with Phosphorus, the effed
of which may well be described as liquid fire.
9. Quick flashes, or sparks of incandescence,
designate vibrations of Phosphorus and Hydrogen, in
which the former struggles to overcome the latter.
The quick cessations of incandescence mark the suc-
cessful vibrations of the Hydrogen in its elemental
function. These motions of matter may always be
witnessed in the electric spark, lightning (forked,
sheet or globular), in flint sparks, the sparks of com-
bustion, etc.
10. Slow and steady forms of vivid incandescence,
no matter where existing, or in what manner pro-
duced, mark the united vibration of Phosphorus and
Carbon, or a condition in which the vibrations of the
latter have not been entirely overcome by those of the
Hydrogen. Luminous nebulae, marsh gas, the flames
of candles, coal gas, "water gas," coal oil, electric
carbon lights, incandescent electric lights of smaller
construction, and acetylene are examples of the latter
Aeetvlene proceeds from an unconscious utilization
of the four universal elemental vibrations. One
method of securing Acetylene gas is through the
media of an electric cm-rent [Phosphorus and Hydro-
gen), Carbon points, and in an atmosphere of Hydro-
gen. Another method of creating Acetylene is
through the united agency <»f lime (embedded Phos-
phorus) and hot coals (Phosphorus and Carbon).
11. Phosphorus and Hydrogen are the most
violently vibrating elements in the universe. The
former element is the absolute source of all motion .
u
.The united vibrations of these two elements, and'
unsubjected by either of the two others, is recognized
in the force known as Electricity. When the Phos-
phorus predominates in the double vibration the
electric spark or steady form of incandescence results.
When Hydrogen predominates in the double vibra-
tion the electricity is invisible, but its effects may
become sensible or visible, though not in incan-
descence. The dark room of the photographer results
necessarily from the special disintegrating acid
function of the Phosphorus of the atmosphere, of sun-
light, of artificial incandescence, and of subdued
light, or even of the light of deep shadows. The
presence of Phosphorus in the atmosphere at all times
explains the reason why photographers are able to
secure impressions in cloudy weather. The sensitive
films used in this art are unconsciously constructed of
matter that excludes Phosphorus, or that prevents the
inertia of Phosphorus by Hydrogen.
12. The exact constitution of the atmosphere of
our earth is Hydrogen, Phosphorus, Nitrogen and
Carbon. A mutual relation or interchange of atoms
exists at all times between the animal and vegetable
kingdoms of the earth. The atmosphere is the un-
cohered crust or envelope of the planet within which
all kingdoms have evolved. The crust is the cohered
atmosphere or envelope from which the evolved king-
doms secure their atoms of replenishment. The con-
stitution of one, therefore, must be exactly the same
as that of the other; and it is a simple illusion to sup-
pose that one can possibly possess a constitution
different from that of the other. Tin' crust cohered
from outward, inward, and not vice versa. Innate
recognition of the actual relations of die four gases
which will lead the enquirer into the actual methods
by which all meteorological phenomena are produced
sustains the truth that no foreign element exists in
the atmosphere outside the four universal gases men-
15
"tinned. The constitution of the glass of the spectro-
scope, and it- effects also, sustain the same truth.
13. The natural absolute vibrations of each of the
four different elements, in its functional relation with
the others, are widely different. The special vibra-
tion of Hydrogen results in Blue sensation, or in a
state of cohesion that invariably produces Blue sensa-
tion. All color identifies the final vibration of a
special gas or gases. The special vibration of Phos-
phorus results in Incandescent sensation, or in pale
Yellow sensation, or in the Glitter of metals, or of
any cohered matter in the inorganic kingdom, or of
any organism within the higher kingdoms. Deep
Yellow sensation is a double vibration of Phosphorus
and Hydrogen, as seen in sulphur. An approach to
even vibrations of these two elements, or a condition
in which the vibrations of the Phosphorus are only
partially reduced by those of the Hydrogen, results in
Green sensation, or in cohered effects which can pro-
duce only degrees of this sensation. Nitrogen, either
in the atmosphere or in cohered matter, results in
Red sensation, or in a state of cohesion that can only
produce degrees of this effect. All recognition of
colors, either by method or sight, is in the absolute
only predominating vibrations of either of the four
gases, or complex vibrations of any or all of them,
which communicate their effects upon relative matter
in the atmosphere, through the eye, to the termini of
the optic nerve in the retina. Black sensation or
effects results from Carbon. On account of the
dangerous affinity between Phosphorus and Carbon,
the latter element is greatly lacking in the eye of the
animal kingdom. Consequently, the sensation
received from the element Carbon may be termed
either color or lack of color. The lachrymal secretion,
which is rich in Blue, stands guard over the violent
Phosphorus or Carbon-Phosphorus vibration in the
eye and atmosphere, and permits the act which is
16
known as "seeing." Blue sky, blue flames, blue
smoke, Mue organic matter, blue insects and animals.
the blue blood and blue eves of the animal kingdoms,
and blue fruits and flowers, are predominating Hydro-
gen effects. Pursuit of investigation in any direction
has sustained the truth, and will ever continue to
sustain it.
Yellow or golden clouds, clouds with a silver lining,
a yellow or glittering sky, yellow sunlight, the
luminosity of planets, "falling stars/' all manner of
incandescence or phosphorescence, in combustion or
without, the golden or silver glitter of metals or of
any other kind of inorganic matter, the silver glitter
of fishes, the glitter of the bodies or wings of insects,
the sparkling of water, the yellow effects in the
vegetable kingdom, the yellow feathers, hair, skin and
excretions of the animal kingdom, yellow oils, all
proceed from the intense vibrations of Phosphorus
that have been partially or entirely subdued by the
other gases. The Green color of the vegetable king-
dom (chlorophyl) indicates relative vibrations of the
Phosphorus of the soil under the protective and
vehicular agency of sap, or water, or Hydrogen. The
Green color within the bulb of the X Kay mechanism
proceeds from even vibrations of Blue Hydrogen and
Yellow Phosphorus (Electricity), and is simply a con-
flicting mass of the atoms of these two elements.
The Green sky, immediately after sunset, produces its
effect from the natural Hydrogen constituent of the
atmosphere and the reduced vibrations of the incan-
descenl Phosphorus of the departing "sunlight."
Shadows are refracted lines of Phosphorus atoms, or
a change of the relation of the four gases that com-
pose sunlight, or Light. Sunlight is a state of incan-
descence that results from an increase of a normal
state of Phosphorus. The darkness of night is a state
of refraction lacking in the continuity of the Phos-
phorus that causes incandescence. Hence, the cool
17
sensation, which results from Hydrogen, with the
other gases, and the effects of dew. frost, night rains
and night breezes.
Red flames, red smoke, red sparks, red inorganic
matter, from rubies to bricks, red fishes and Eruits
and flowers, red feathers, and hair, and skin, and
blood, red copper, and the red-hot state of metals,
the rosy clouds of sunrise and sunset, the rosy hues
of coral, and the dull, red algse of the ocean, all
proceed from the subjective relation of the element
Nitrogen to the superior vibrations of the other gases.
The matter of the effects of rainbows and soap-
bubbles will guide the investigator to conviction.
All white sensations proceed from a subjective
relation of the Phosphorous to the Hydrogen, with
the aid of hidden Nitrogen and Carbon. White
cumuli clouds show the effect of the Nitrogen of the
atmosphere, also white steam. White starch, or the
matter of cereals, white milk and other emulsions,
the white skin of the Caucasian race, indicate
superior vibrations of Phosphorous and Hydrogen,
and hidden vibrations of Carbon and Nitrogen. The
latter element is greatly lacking in the animal eve,
except as free gas, hence the white effect. A certain
relation of Carbon and Nitrogen in the eye would
result in cohesion and opacity. It is known that
cataracts of. the eye, or blindness, result from a foreign
relation of Nitrogen, or Carbon, or both, as all
opacity proceeds from a single cause.
14. All matter in the universe is either invisible,
transparent, or possesses special or complex color.
The Colors of cohered matter may be easily separated,
when they will attach themselves to the special
<dements previously described: Blue Hydrogen,
Yellow or Incandescent or Glittering Phosphorous,
Black Carbon, and Red Nitrogen. In all cohered
matter, either one or more of the elements and its
respective color-vibration are hidden or absorbed.
18
No cohered matter can possibly be transparent except
through the vibrations of Phosphorous or the inertia
of embedded Phosphorous.
15. The elements Nitrogen and Carbon are the
cause of all cohesion, in any form, and are the great
base of all metals. On account of the affinity between
Phosphorus and Hydrogen, and Phosphorus and Car-
bon, all effects that possess these elements in excessof
Nitrogen may be either transparent or rendered
translucent by the X Ray, or by other methods.
Nitrogen in certain relation with the other elements
is the absolute cause of all opacity.
lb. Heat, either sensible in warmth or violently
disintegrating, results from the special vibration of
universally diffused Phosphorus. Latent heat results
from embedded Phosphorus in all matter, the vibra-
tions of which have been overcome by either Hydro-
gen or Nitrogen.
17. Light is composed of a certain relation of
Phosphorus with the other three gases of the atmos-
phere. A great excess of Phosphorus in the atmos-
phere results in a great degree of Heat, which is only
another term for the disiiitegrating-vibration, incipient
or increased. Heat during refraction of sunlight, as at
night in summer, is a state of the atmosphere con-
taining an abnormal quantity of reflected or escaping
Phosphorus that has become implanted in matter
during the incandescent state. Sunstroke is an effect
of the Phosphorus of the atmosphere, which over-
charges the nerves and brain, and escapes from the
protective Hydrogen of these organs.
18. The absolute source of all Motion throughout
the universe is the Phosphorus vibration, acting
under the universal law of Compression, or continuity
of matter. Outside of this fundamental law, there
could be no relation of the four gases and no cohered
matter or evolved forms. The inertia or rest of the
tour interlocked vibrations of the four gases manifests
19
itself in Cold sensation, or in cold effects. It is on
this account that all metals, when not artificially
heated, rocks, glass, china, etc., feel cold to the touch.
In other words, the absence of vibration within these
kinds of matter does not excite the Phosphorus of the
nerves of the papilhc. hut increases the effect of the
Hydrogen only of the nerves.
19. ('old sensation, or cold effects throughout
nature (ice, snow, hail, etc.), proceeds from one abso-
lute source only, which is, a state of Hydrogen in
excess of Phosphorus. In all natural effects, let the
relation of Phosphorus and Hydrogen undergo a
change, and Heat and Cold will follow respectively
by increase or decrease. Consequently, a state of
violently-vibrating Hydrogen exists at the poles of our
earth, producing an absorbing effect upon all bodies,
rich in Phosphorus, that may pass into those regions.
The Aurora Borealis is a visible effect of the outflow-
ing Hydrogen at the poles upon the Phosphorus and
other gases of those regions. Winter seasons (aided
by slanting solar rays) ami sudden blizzards proceed
from the same cause. Water is composed of Hydro-
gen and Phosphorus, or a natural base and acid. Pet
the number of atoms of Hydrogen in a given quantity
of water be increased and the relation will cause a
shifting of position of the atoms, and will turn the
water to ice. Ice is simply an advanced state of the
cohesion of the atoms of water that results from the
increased effect ot Carbon and Nitrogen, which have
taken the place of the relative decrease of Phosphorus.
But let the Phosphorus of a given quantity of water
he increased and the water will become hot. and will,
under continued increase, soon disintegrate into the
two gases. Hail is formed from a drift of Hydrogen
that is in excess of the Phosphorus of upper regions.
Snow is formed in an atmosphere lacking in the
excessive Hydrogen motion that produces hail. Clouds
form in the upper regions of the atmosphere on
20
accounl of* the excessive Hydrogen of those regions.
Nitrogen, which lies close to the earth, prevents the
formation of distinct clouds in the lower stratum. A
shifting relation of the Nitrogen with the other gases,
however, aids the formation of fog, which is only
diffused cloud matter, or the effect of Phosphorus and
Hydrogen in a new relation of Nitrogen and Carbon.
The opacity of fog may he traced to Nitrogen, or
Nitrogen and Carbon combined.
20. Following these lines of observation, it is also
discovered, through accumulated knowledge of the
relation of the four gases, that the space existing be-
tween planets is composed of pure or predominating
Hydrogen, outside the currents which are known to
pass through space and to encircle planets, nehuhe,
etc. If Phosphorus predominated in outer space the
universe would be transformed to one great sun. with
its attendant heat. If either Carbon or Nitrogen pre-
dominated the universe would be transformed to solid
coal or solid iron, or approximate effects. Under
either of these conditions no planets could possibly
cohere, neither could an organic kingdom evolve.
All conditions exist naturally, and existing laws are
recognized as nature. Consequently Hydrogen, as
deduced from the infallible working of natural law
and natural effects in endless profusion, is the pre-
dominating element in outer space, and seizes
violently upon Phosphorus or Carbon whenever con-
ditions favor the contact. The element Hydrogen.
therefore, surrounds the Sun of our system, and, of
course, surrounds each of the planets and asteroids;
and it is concluded in sound reason that it must also
surround all stars, suns, asteroids and nehuhe in the
universe. The blue color of the "sky" of our own
planel is due directly to the surplus protective Hydro-
gen that must, in its natural function, stand guard
Over the Phosphorus of all planets. The cause of the
excessive cold of the upper regions of our atmosphere
21
(snow-capped mountains and the absen< t vegeta-
tion) is due to the excessive Hydrogen existing in
those regions, which under natural law surrounds the
planet, and is continually, during the earth's revolu-
tions, drawn into the atmosphere, and is one of its
most important constituents. Tliis fact is not recog-
nized at the present day by any branch of science,
wherever existing, neither has it ever been recognized
in any past age; all schools claiming, without a single
exception, that Hydrogen is dangerously inflammable,
and that its effects in composite matter only are to be
traced in our atmosphere ami earth. A more thorough
recognition of the mysterious element and its natural
function will prove it to he the very opposite of what
it is now claimed to he. It is the one elemenl
identified in cold sensation, and the indisputable
element in all cold effects, of whatever nature; the
very element also that subjugates Phosphorus or tire.
Its effects are witnessed in rain, moisture, dew, clouds,
fogs, snow, hail, winds, blizzards, winter, ozone, the
green color of vegetation, and in its more widely
diffused form, the oceans of the earth. Late authen-
ticated works from the pens of the most advanced
scientific men of the present day claim that our
atmosphere is composed of four-fifths Nitrogen and
one-fifth Oxygen* the elastic condition serving the
purpose of a vehicle for dust or anything else passing
into it. Argon is the latest constituent, said to be
discovered in 1894.
L>1. A close and persistent study of the relation
that exists between these four pises confirms the
truth that the Sun of our system is a mass of Phos-
phorus, Hydrogen, Carbon and Nitrogen, acting

under violent Focal Force. Why the matter of the
Sun should exist as a Focus it will be, of course, im-
possible for any one to ascertain, outside of the fact
of the attraction that must exist between its Phos-
phorus and the Hydrogen of interplanetary space.
But upon the truth (or theory) that the Sun is a mass
of matter under focal force proceed the most rational
conclusions concerning "attraction" of planets,
orbits, eccentricities, course of comets, nebulous
forms, asteroids, satellites, meteorites and the mys-
terious periods of Time that affect animal and human
birth, existence and death.
22. An indisputable knowledge of the exact rela-
tion that exists between the four gases, and which
any one may witness by simply burning a paper and
closely watching the colors, or " vibrations," that are
communicated to the eye, fixes the exact constitution
of the Sun; a question that has agitated the most
advanced minds of all ages since humanity came upon
the earth. The most careful analysis of the actions
of the Sun's diverse matter proclaim it to be as
follows: The Sun's photosphere is composed of
predominating Phosphorus, under the violent action
of Carbon gas, and inhaled Hydrogen gas, secured
from interplanetary space. To the presence of Car-
bon gas is due the existence of the Sun. For without
it the latter would soon be absorbed by the excessive
Hydrogen of space. The red prominences of the Sun,
witnessed in the corona, may be infallibly traced to
the gas Nitrogen, though under the violent force of
the two most excessively vibrating gases, Phosphorus
and Carbon. Sun spots mark the points of focal in-
halation and reactive exhalation, or a grand contest of
both Hydrogen and Carbon for the Phosphorus. The
white faculse mark the presence of all four of the
gases, or a great deficiency, or lack of Nitrogen. It
is through this means of recognition that the white
spot near the polar region of the planet Mars may he
23
understood. A magnetic pole or the poinl or area
marking the natural outflow of Hydrogen, and a con-
densing absorbing effect upon the other gases (as
proved in the Aurora Borealis) would resull in the
white sensation proceeding from the point described.
23. The reactive exhalations of the Sun carry cur-
rents of predominating Carbon, Nitrogen and Phos-
phorus outward through the predominating Hydrogen
of interplanetary space, until the propelling power of
the Sun is overcome. At this point the natural vibra-
tions of the gases of the current, which always move
in curves or spirals, introbend and create a whirl-
wind. Each of the planets and asteroids of our sys-
tem is the nucleus of one of these Carbon-Nitrogen-
Phosphorus whirlwinds, and which continues to he
fed by the Sun with these gases at the present day. A
close study of the matter of meteorites, as well as in-
disputable knowledge of the mutual relation of the
four special gases, which can only be secured through
the media that have been presented, sustains the truth
of what was, during an earlier investigation, a theory
only. The outlets of these planetary whirlwinds are
at the poles of the planets. At these points an ex-
haustive force is exerted upon everything containing
Phosphorus, and especially upon a human being,
whose; existence depends upon the continued replen-
ishment of this one element. At the poles, therefore,
direct communication exists between everything
within the region and interplanetary space, through
these unprotective rifts of the envelope of our planet.
The best authenticated theorists of the present day
ascribe the cold state of the polar regions to the slant
or the absence of solar rays. This is only in part cor-
rect, as cold is Hydrogen, and produce- effects that in-
dicate a decrease or withdrawal of the Phosphorus,
which is not at the present time recognized as a con-
stituent of the atmosphere.
24
25. Comets arc masses of Carbon gas that have
escaped from the currents thai create planets. They
are utterly lacking in Nitrogen, which is the heavy.
resisting, subjective element of the four. The affinity
existing between Carbon and Phosphorus causes these
masses to collect the Phosphorus that is always hid-
den within the Hydrogen of interplanetary space.
Sunlight is material and is composed of Phosphorus.
An excess of Hydrogen will absorb or hide the Phos-
phorus of sunlight that always permeates these
regions. It is an indisputable fact, therefore, that
Comets lack Nitrogen, and are outside the natural
law governing the mechanical construction of planets.
or asteroids, or nehuhe. Comets travel toward the
Sun, through the outermost limits of the focal force
of inhaled Hydrogen, and being utterly without the
subjective Nitrogen, they the more easily, as illumi-
nated chaff, become subject to the outward propelling
forces of the Sun, and circle around it. They are then
drawn, as chaff, into the outermost limits of the cur-
rents that proceed from the Sun to planets. In trav-
eling toward the Sun the tails of comets stream behind
the nuclei. In traveling from the Sun the tails shift
position and stream before the nuclei. All lumin-
osity in the universe proceeds from the united vibra-
tions of Carbon and Phosphorus, or compressed Phos-
phorus alone. And Comets offer no exception to the
universal law. The erratic courses of Comets mark
the existence of interplanetary currents. It is these
currents, not of Hydrogen alone, but of Carbon and
Nitrogen in subjective relation, that causes the twink-
ling of certain stars, and that cause Light, or Phos-
phorus, to travel apparently in waves. Comets, being
devoid of the degree of Nitrogen required lor nebu-
lous forms or planets, cannot possibly penetrate the
violent Nitrogen-Carbon" currents that encircle, hold,
and continually feed planets. Consequently they are
25
utterly lacking in danger. Their uncohered tails are
a simple evidence of lack of Nitrogen.
26. No attraction, in the true signification of the
word, exists between planel and Sun. Planets and all
their matter are propelled from the Sun. and are a
reactive effecl . The orbits of planets are created by the
same focal force, or the Phosphorus-Hydrogen attrac-
tion, that, acts upon the Sun. It is through this
observation that effects in Magnetism may be studied
and correct knowledge secured.
27. The whirlwind force of the Nitrogen-Carbon
current, as well as the mutual action of all four of
the gases, creates the daily and yearly revolutions
of the planets.
28. All meteorites are compressed from the invis-
ible gases of predominating Carbon and Nitrogen,
which are the common base of all metals, and lesser
proportions of Phosphorus and Hydrogen.
29. Gravitation is the effect of both centripetal
force, exerted by the whirlwind of Carbon and Nitro-
gen which encircles the earth, and the great attraction
that exists between the internal Phosphorus globe of
the earth and the Hydrogen of the atmosphere and of
space. Consequently Gravitation proceeds from a force
from without the atmosphere, or from the superior
force of excessive Hydrogen, and does not proceed
from attraction exerted from within the crust or
Phosphorus globe within the center of a planet, on
account of the deficiency of the latter. Both ele-
ments, nevertheless, exist in every atomic portion of
the crust of our earth, and within every cell of the
organic kingdoms, and within every portion of our
atmosphere, and little knowledge can he secured in an
attempt to attribute the force to one (dement more
than to the other. It is sufficient to know that Gravi-
tation is simply the universal attraction that exists
between the Base (Hydrogen) of the atmosphere and
of space, and the Acid (Phosphorus) contained within
26
the Phosphorus globe beneath our earth's crust. This
fact also proves that planets are not attracted by the
Sun, on account of the Phosphorus of the latter.
30. Weight is resistance to compression from a
source without the atmosphere, and is not resistance
to a force exerted from within the crust or center of
the earth. This fact rests upon the knowledge of the
superior effect of the predominating Hydrogen of
interplanetary space, over that of the inferior mass of
Phosphorus within the center of our earth.
31. The Gulf Stream is composed of water that
is rich in Phosphorus and Carbon. The outward
Hydrogen tendency at the North Pole forces the cur-
rent into existence through the absorbing effect of the
Hydrogen. The position of the Magnetic Pole, a Hydro-
gen force, favors a current from the Atlantic Ocean
instead of from the Pacific Ocean. One of the reac-
tive effects of this drift, through the subjective nature
of Nitrogen and Carbon, is the basaltic-pillar formation
in the Hebrides and the north of Ireland. London
fog proceeds from the same cause. All fogs resemble
emulsions, and have a common cause, which involves
the elements Carbon and Nitrogen.
32. Magnetism is a force involving the vibrations
of three gases only. A certain degree of heat (Phos-
phorus) destroys the magnetic effect. Consequently
lh<- superior vibrations of Phosphorus within the mag-
netic iron are lacking in the effect. The curved travel
of magnetic force infallibly locates the vibrations of
Carbon gas, either with or without Nitrogen. All
curves in the universe, if unobstructed by cohered
complex matter, proceed from the superior vibrations
of Carbon and Nitrogen. Among these effects may
be noticed the shapes of all leaves, stems, fruit and
Mowers iii the entire vegetable world ; the Carbon and
Nitrogen giving the permanent form and the Phos-
phorus supplying the acid. During growth, or the
green season, escaping Hydrogen fashions the form oi
both leaves, stems, flowers and fruit. Tendrils con-
tain predominating Nitrogen and Carbon. The affin-
ity of certain atoms of certain plants for the atoms of
inorganic matter, aided by other conditions, causes ivy
to climb a wall, and engenders the entire family of
parasitic plants. After the escape of Hydrogen, dur-
ing the fall, all parts of plants curve, through the
superior force of ( iarbou. In the animal kingdom the
curved travel of Carbon and Nitrogen may be wit-
nessed everywhere. The twist of a pig's tail and thai
of the English pug dog are the results of superior
Carbon vibrations during growth. The curved bris-
tles and tusks of the wild boar mark a excessive de-
gree of the Carbon. The trichina spiralis also betrays
the special Carbon vibration, a little Phosphorus only
being needed to start the little mass of Carbon atom-
into an animal. The tu>ks of the walrus and of the
elephant, as well as the trunk of the latter, are the
direct results of the superior force of Carbon. The
resemblance between a hog's snout and the terminus
of the elephant's trunk, betrays the effect of Carbon.
The twisted haii' of the African proceeds from the
same canst' ; also, do all curly hair and curves (espe-
cially the ribs) throughout the animal kingdom pro-
ceed from the travel of the same element. It is
through this method of pursuing a single elemenl
throughout nature, and identifying its characteristics
in different forms that one is led to identify the ele-
ment Carbon in the curved travel of Magnetic force.
The attraction that exists between a natural magnet,
therefore, and a piece of artificially-prepared iron that
has embedded much Phosphorus and Hydrogen during
the Heat process of extracting it from the ore, is simply
the natural attraction of the elements Carbon and
Phosphorus of the magnetic body, for the Phosphorus
and Hydrogen of the soft iron. In the latter body
the state of inertia is easily susceptible of rupture,
especially by the united force of Carbon and Phos-
28
phorus (as in the melting of metals), or by the united
force of Carbon and Hydrogen. The same force is
exhibited throughout nature in the endless cases of
"oxidation," or of "iron rust," which is simply the
same affinity that always exists between Carbon or
Hydrogen and Phosphorus. The magnetic attraction
that exists between mercury and gold identifies the
same elements that are engaged in special magnetic
force. In the case of artificially-prepared magnets.
which are composed of iron or steel that has been
long subjected to an electric current (Phosphorus and
Hydrogen) the element Hydrogen unites with the free
Carbon in an attempt to reach and overcome the
Phosphorus of the body that is attracted. In all cases
of affinities throughout nature a shade of force pro-
ceeding from either of the vibrating elements described
will produce a similar shade of effect in composite
matter. The attraction that exists between the ele-
ments of water, between those of mercury and gold.
and between those of soft iron and the magnet, are
identical, as they engage the special vibrations of the
three gases, Phosphorus, Hydrogen and Carbon.
33. Transparent glass is composed of the four gases,
of the four different vibrations, or colors. Embedded
Phosphorus, or " Heat," during the welding process,
tin; four gases embedded in eroded silicon, or white
sand, together with other matter rich in the four
vibrations, and aided by similar matter from the
atmosphere during construction, betray the four con-
stituents and the manner of the transmission of colors
by continuity.
34. The ethnological divisions of the human race
proceed directly from excessive vibrations of either of
tli'' lour gases. The white skin of the Caucasian
marks an approach to the harmonious relation of the
four gases. This relation has been gradually produced
by salt, or the hidden blue Hydrogen embedded in
salt. The skin and characteristics of the Ethiopian
29
mark the superior force of Carbon and Phosphorus.
Those of the Mongolian, of sulphur, or a combination
of Bydrogen and Phosphorus. Those of the Indian,
of Nitrogen and Hydrogen. Through the same study
of the natural relation existing between the tour gases,
all animal forms, from a microbe to a whale or ele-
phant, may be understood.
35. Salt, which is a hydrogen effect, containing
intense blue vibrations, is one of the remaining evi-
dences of the prehistoric cooling of the earth's crust.
AH cooling, or subjection of the dangerous Phosphorus
element, or heat, is first effected through the agency of
Hydrogen alone, in its natural function, hut may he
aided by Nitrogen. Modern science claims that salt
is ( Jhloride of Sodium, and that each of these constitu-
ents is an element. The truth involved in this com-
bination is that Chlorine is a double gas (yellowish-
green), possessing two vibrations. Sodium, a white
metal, is composed of the four gases. The union of
the two so-called elements, the affinity being extremely
great and producing all the salt within the oceans and
within the earth's crust, is effected through the supe-
rior vibrations of the Hydrogen and Phosphorus of
both kinds of matter, the former predominating. It
is also claimed that pure Sodium when placed in
water will immediately take tire and produce grains
of salt. The errors of the supposed nature of ( Jhlorine
and Sodium are evident upon their face, when it is
submitted to the four-gas analysis. Sodium, being
composite and rich in Hydrogen, disintegrates the two
elements of water (Phosphorus and Hydrogen) through
the force of the excessive Hydrogen. During the sep-
aration the Phosphorus of both (dements is seen and
quickly subjected. Out of the transition a new com-
bination, salt, is formed, which i> always rich in
Hydrogen ami al\vay> continues to attract the same
(dement from the atmosphere, on account of the
increase of Phosphorus. Soda, or Phosphorus and
30
Sodium, possesses a slight addition to the Phosphorus
constituent, and a relative increase of Hydrogen. The
alkali property is always a Hydrogen vibration. Salt
sensation proceeds from an excess of Phosphorus. All
bitter sensations proceed from intense vibrations of
Hydrogen. Many cathartics (bitter) act through the
agency of the same element. Cryolite, or a form of
composite matter that abounds in sodium or blue
vibrations, is one of the results of the excessive
Hydrogen of the North Pole. It is found in Green-
land only, and is used for preparing the soda of
commerce. Rock salt, when translucent or trans-
parent, betrays embedded Phosphorus, or the agent of
light.
:!<'). The diameter of the earth is estimated to
be nearly eight thousand miles. The rise of the
mercury of the thermometer one degree at every
sixty feet of descent fixes the estimate. The crust
of the earth has cohered principally through the
agency of Hydrogen and Nitrogen. The correlation
of the four gases, together with the compression exerted
by the Carbon-Nitrogen current encircling the Phos-
phorus globe, has created the igneous rocks, and other
stratified portions of the crust. It has always excited
surprise among Geologists that evidences of water
(Hydrogen and Phosphorus) should be discovered in
igneous rocks. All four gases ma} T be traced at first
glance in granite.
The Hydrogen of the atmosphere, however, being
partially cut off from the internal sphere of Phos-
phorus, through the partial inertia of the inorganic
Crust, it becomes evident that the heat of the earth,
which is another term only for the excess of internal
Phosphorus, will never cut i rely subside, or be entirely
overcome by its relative gas, Hydrogen. Occasional
inhalations of Hydrogen, however, do occur through
tic craters of volcanoes. And when this does take
place, Sulphur, or a form of matter composed mainly
of the yellow and blue vibrations, is the result and is
cast forth. Smaller proportions of Nitrogen and < !ar-
l)oii produce red and Mack sulphur. Nearly all of the
combinations of sulphur produce blue effects.
The permeation of ocean water through fissures of
the earth's crust that form at times upon the sloping
submerged sides of continents, causes a violent union
of the Hydrogen of the water and the internal Phos-
phorus, which also permeates the crusl almosl to the
outer surface. When this occurs the phenomenon of
an earthquake follows. It has been shown that Elec-
tricity is a double unrestricted vibration of Phos-
phorus and Hydrogen. This being true, there i-
nothing to disprove the assertion that earthquakes
frequently result from the generation of this force
within the crust at any point, since it is known that
the free gases exist everywhere.
37. It is claimed by modern science that Hydro-
gen gas is inflammable, and that it "burns." The
illusion surrounding the burning process and attach-
ing to the word inflammable may he dispelled by a
more advanced insight into the mutual reaction that
always takes place between Hydrogen and Phosphorus.
It is also claimed that Oxygen intensities the burning
process, or supports all manner of combustions. It
has never yet. however, explained the scientific para-
dox of the exact manner in which water, which, it is
asserted, is composed of two inflammable gases, and
which separate from the water with extreme ease,
extinguishes a conflagration. If Hydrogen were
inflammable, at the exact moment of the contact of
water with lire, the burning process would he inten-
sified to an indefinite degree. The illusion may he
penetrated by the following explanation: When a
mass of Hydrogen is secured by any process and is
allowed to escape.it immediately passes off into the
atmosphere and surrounds the hidden Phosphorus,
which is the absolute source of the light or tire ^\
32
combustions. However, if a match or spark is intro-
duced into the receptacle the Hydrogen may either
explode or appear to burn. The truth of the process
is that the spark served as a means of inducting a
quantity of Phosphorus from the atmosphere, under
the natural affinity thai exists between the two gases,
and that the explosion and fire resulted only from the
violent vibrations of the Hydrogen and the resulting
aggregation of Phosphorus. If the flame of " burning"
Hydrogen possesses the least incandescence, it betrays
the presence of Phosphorus, or the effect of the pres-
ence of Carbon gas. If the flame is perfectly blue it
betrays hidden Phosphorus, which is surrounded by
the Hydrogen. If the latter is in excess the flame
of burning will he of short duration. If the flame
is " hot" to the touch it betrays the presence of disin-
tegrating Phosphorus. Absolutely pure Hydrogen
possesses only the blue, or subjecting vibration, and
is always intensely cold or absorbing.
38. All explosions result from either of two causes:
The obstructing of the natural path required for the
affinity or the union of the four gases, after the first
vibration tending to this union has been started : or,
triple vibrations (forcibly held) that require the fourth
element for inertia, and forcibly withdraw the latter
from the atmosphere, upon concussion (compressed
Phosphorus of the atmosphere) or a supplied spark
from match or fuse. Black gunpowder is an example
of the former and nitro-glycerine of the latter.
:!'.). The base of nearly all poisons is the Hydrogen -
Phosphorus vibration, either predominating, which
cannot secure inertia except through the process of
rupturing the tissues or absorbing the remaining gases
from the physical relation. Under this fact of lack of
inertia, either gas may act as a poison when intro-
duced, in compact, into the circulation or respiratory
organs. Carbon Monoxide poisons through the exces-
sive vibrations of the Carbon which intensify, when
33
inhaled, and aggregate all the available "oxygen" or
Phosphorus of the tissues. During this inhalation
the other elements also are inhaled, bu1 are-subjective.
Opium poisons through the agency of Nitrogen, which
is a gas foreign to the perfect relation existing within
the brain and surrounding it. Strong coffee, the
stimulating property of which proceeds from Hydro-
gen, is an antidote for opium poisons, and through n>
special vibrations carries off the Nitrogen. All ano-
dynes proceed from Nitrogen. All anti-febrile reme-
dies proceed from the same element and Hydrogen,
on account of the functional relation of these two to
Phosphorus.
40. Sleep is always produced by Nitrogen. Arti-
ficial sleep, which should not he mistaken for the
natural process, which is always restoring or har-
monic in its action, may also be produced by Nitrous
Oxide gas. The vibrations of the Phosphorus (oxide)
carry the foreign element Nitrogen to the brain and
cause a suspension of consciousness. All conscious-
ness, from incipient perception to the depths of reason,
results through the special vibrations of the two ele-
ments of human electricity, Phosphorus and Hydrogen.
Natural sleep at night is facilitated by refraction of
solar rays, the space affected by the refraction being
filled by an excess of three gases and a reduced pro-
portion of Phosphorus.
All human emotions arc; intensified through the
shifting relations of the four ;etherial gases. The
attraction of sex acts through Hydrogen and Phos-
phorus; one of the sexes aggregating Nitrogen and
the other casting if off. Inertia is the object of this
attraction. Shame and anger, and all like emotions.
act through excessive Nitrogen. Fear, through Hydro-
gen. Love, through a harmonious relation of the
Phosphorus and Hydrogen of Mind. An insane pri-
son or an idiot, a person who is unconscious, <>r
sleeping, or a newly-born infant cannot experience
34
the sensation of i>uiv love, on account of the unnat-
ural, foreign, or undeveloped relation that must exist
between these two gases in the human electricity of
Mind. Lust is an inorganic force, acting in the human
mechanism through an overweight of subjective Nitro-
gen. The more developed the mind (Phosphorus and
Hydrogen in its spiritual aspect), the less will be the
lust (Nitrogen). Laughter proceeds from Phosphorus.
Weeping, from Hydrogen. Melancholia proceeds from
the same element. Excessive melancholia proceeds
from an injurious or unnatural relation of Phosphorus
and Hydrogen in encephalous matter, in which the
Hydrogen of the gray matter and contained within
the white matter of the nervous system overcomes the
Phosphorus, and continues to increase its effects indefi-
nitely.
41. — All diseases of the human organism may be
divided generally into four great classes:
Hydrogen, or Blue diseases.
Phosphorus, or Yellow diseases.
Nitrogen, or Red diseases.
Carbon, or Fatty or Black diseases.
Pending a more thorough investigation into the
complex causes of a great many of the diseases
which are now enshrouded in mystery, the following
list only is presented upon observation that has suf-
fered many impediments. Some of these, therefore,
may proceed from the unnatural, accelerated vibra-
tions of a single gas in the human mechanism, or
from an unnatural lack of the required vibrations of
one or more gases. In this study, the cohered matter
of the mechanism (muscle, fat, bones, etc.) must not
;wt ;is an obstruction to free investigation, as this
matter is only an effect and not the source. Acceler-
ated vibrations of a single gas in unnatural relation-
within the body, and which often result in atrophy,
must be reduced by accelerating the vibrations of the
35
gases thai are lacking, when each one, of the relation,
lias been discovered through the diagnosis of color, or
other infallible effects. All required remedies, com-
posed of the four gases only, arc now recognized and
at hand. The predominating vibration of each of
these remedial effects distinguishes it and locate- the
special gas in the matter of anodynes, stimulants,
anaesthetics, anti-febrile, anti-septic, anti-scorbutic
remedies, etc. It is claimed by many that all dis-
eases may be overcome through the exercise of will-
power, or faith. Hence the devotees of these special
branches of healing by faith or Christian Science.
Obstinate diseases, however, it is widely attested, do
not always yield to the methods or faith of these
classes, because the source of healing is not under-
stood, and has never heretofore been understood.
Jesus Christ, so it has been learned through the clos-
est inspection of the record of his life and acts, healed
diseases and performed miracles through Divine
power and perception of this great fundamental
truth. It will not be impossible in the future, there-
fore, to re-establish harmony or health through means
of faith ()]• will, when the absolute cause of all dis-
eases has been learned and identified in special recog-
nized matter. As the disease, so in contrary relation
must be the remedy. Faith and Doubt are as ma-
terial, though in an advanced degree, as the grosser
cohered forms of Materia Medica.
Hydrogen, or Blue diseases: Scurvy, chills, colds,
grippe, diphtheria, whooping-cough, bronchitis, con-
sumption, cholera, dropsy, spasms of children, spinal
meningitis, fits, leprosy, delirium tremens, insanity,
idiocy, etc. Also, the epizootic of animals.
Phosphorus, or Yellow diseases: Fevers — scarlet
fever, yellow fever, eczema, measles (phosphorus and
nitrogen), generation of pus, small-pox, jaundice,
certain kinds of rheumatism, rabies or hydrophobia,
urinary complaints, ascaris (pin worms), tape ami
30
stomach worms, and all bacteria within every portion
of the earth and atmosphere.
Nitrogen, or Red diseases: Accumulations within
the system of all description, on account of the sub-
jective nature of Nitrogen and a lack of sufficient
Hydrogen. These are apoplexy, heart-failure, swell-
ings, tumors, fungus growths, goitre, mumps,
calculus, cancer, tetanus, or locked-jaw, ossification,
humpback, constipation, hemorrhoids, wens, warts,
moles, corns, bunions, clubfoot, gout, etc. The
pedal extremities are particularly under the effect
of Nitrogen, from the same subjectivity, or weight.
Nitrogen is also identified in the cause of tapeworm.
Carbon, or Black, or Fatty diseases: Fatty degen-
eration of various organs, obesity, trichina spiralis
(Carbon and Phosphorus), and all complex diseases,
as diabetes and Bright's disease. Carbon may be
either especially active, as in fatty degeneration, or
subjective, like Nitrogen, according to the superior or
inferior force of the Phosphorus and Hydrogen. It
is presumed, from description, that one or more of
the ancient plagues arose from Carbon. The bubonic
plague of India, and the beri-beri of the tropics, from
the closest descriptions, point to Phosphorus and
Hydrogen as the combined cause, through a great lack
of Nitrogen and Carbon. Lack of certain kinds of
food products that would tend to supply the required
relation of Nitrogen and Carbon in the mechanism
no doubt nourishes the cause of the disease.
42. Satellites are compressed masses of nebulous
matter that are entirely lacking in Hydrogen, but
abounding in Phosphorus, Nitrogen and Carbon.
These luminous bodies, wherever existing, have been
accidentally cut off from the greater mass of the
planet matter, by the force of the Nitrogen-Carbon
current, in the early period of creation. A close
introspection of the motions and other mysteries of
satellites proclaims them to be subjective masses of
37
luminous matter, and entirely dependenl upon the
encircling planet currents lor their revolutions. Our
moon, therefore, does not revolve upon an axis, but is
revolved by the whirling Nitrogen -Carbon currenl
encircling our earth. A lack of sufficient Hydrogen
prevents the independent relation of the gases and
creates subjectivity through the superior quantity of
Nitrogen and Carbon of both satellite and current.
Satellites revolve around planets, and follow t he latter
through their orbits, because outside the special law
governing the construction of planets. It has been
noticed that the current in which our satellite per-
forms its revolutions around the earth, otherwise
termed the lunar orbit, suffers a serious deflection
when nearest the Sun. This fact simply furnishes
another proof of the propelling, reactive, anti-
attractive power of the Sun.
An understanding of the relation of the three pre-
dominating gases of our moon establishes the fact
that if its entire mass could escape from the current
in which it is embedded, the Hydrogen of outer space
would dissolve its matter, would create a comet out of
a portion of its Carbon, and would treat the earth to
a hail of meteorites.
It has always been a theory that the moon, in its
individual capacity, exerts an influence over the
waters of the earth (tides), and creates diseases
(blindness, lunacy, etc.). The very opposite condi-
tion, so it transpires from the closest investigation,
brings the truth into plain view. The moon, it being
subjective, cannot exert an influence over any special
kind of matter, gaseous or cohered, except indirectly,
and even then to a doubtful degree. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that it is lacking in Hydrogen to a great
degree, and that the most violent affinity exists
between its Phosphorus and any accessible Hydrogen,
yet the current in which it is embedded is not open
for the influence to act. If it were, it would attract
38
the Hydrogen of interplanetary space. The moon is
simply a beacon light upon all the powers that have
been ascribed to it. Its subjective revolutions and its
positions from perigee to apogee establish the fact
that it is the great spiral travel of the Nitrogen-Car-
bon current encircling the nucleus earth that exerts
this influence over the Hydrogen of the upper atmos-
phere, and upon all the mobile cohered matter of the
earth. The travel of the subjective moon through
curves of the spiral is indicated by seven days, which
are propagated into spans of seven years. It is this
understanding that accentuates the connection be-
tween the Nitrogen effects of puberty (fourteen years)
and the different periods of gestation in all branches
of the animal kingdom.
The actual existence of the Nitrogen-Carbon cur-
rent encircling the earth should not be, without due
investigation, regarded as a myth, theory, or a pro-
duct of an overwrought imagination. The proper
method of gaining a true insight into its possibility
is to hold a fifty-pound meteorite in hand, and
endeavor conscientiously to deny its existence. It is
this current, and no other, that has supplied all the
meteorites the world has ever seen, the specimens of
which may be found upon the shelves of all institu-
tions of learning throughout the land. The magnetic
property of many meteorites is due to the special
constituents of the current out of which they are
formed.
43. The drift of the solar Inhalations of Hydrogen
aids in creating the orbits of planets. The natural
relation of the four gases, however, which tends to
the state of inertia, is the first cause of the orbits of
planets.
44. The revolutions of planets, suns, asteroids,
mid satellites, arc evidences of a lack of a certain
relation of the four gases that creates the state
of I uertia.

45. 'The inclination of a planet to the plane of its
orl.it is due to the drift of interplanetary 1 [ydrogen to
the Sun.
46. The eccentricity of the earth's orbil may be
traced to the combative force proceeding from the drift
of Hydrogen toward the Sun, and the force involved
in the relation of gases that causes the revolutions.
