Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Origin and Continuance of Life: Together With the Development of a System for Medical Administration on the Law of Similars, From a Discovery of Its Principles in the Law of Natural Affinities

Shrouding our planet - nine miles deep - there is an ocean of oxygen-nitrogen and oxygen and hydrogen vapor, attracted by magnetic force existing in the earth, so strongly, that no other force has been able to disen gage it, though the surface of the earth is whirling with it more than 1000 miles an hour and the whole mass of the earth and its shroud of gases is sweeping around the Sun with a velocity of miles an hour. There is still another ocean of gases still more adherent than the other to the great magnet. Within the first there lives 1, of human animals in conjunction with myriads of other. Life too numerous for an imagination to compare. In fact, the earth is a vast mass of life._ What astonishes us the most is the innumerable individualities of these living things, and the individual modes of their living; yet there are but four great gases - oxygen, hy drogen, nitrogen and carbon.
