V" TO know that a certain inorganic cell-salt is indicated / by certain symptoms, is one thing; but to know the (g) (§) process by which it works to accomplish certain results, is quite another thing. The fluoride of lime is found in the enamel of teeth, connective tissue and the elastic fibre of all muscular tissue. A lack of elastic fibre in muscular tissue causes falling of the womb, varicose veins and a general'' sagging-down feeling.'' Swellings of stony hardness are due to a lack of this salt -- the substance that causes the hard accumulation being elastic fibre or lime. When a deficiency in this lime-salt, and consequently a deficiency of elastic fibre, occurs in connective tissue between the cerebrum and cerebellum, an abnormal process of thought occurs, causing groundless fears of financial ruin. But the student of Biochemistry will doubtless wish to understand where elastic fibre, of which I speak, comes from; as he will, of course, see that the fluoride of lime molecules themselves are not elastic fibre. My opinion is that the lime-salt in question unites with albumen and forms t. e, creates, elastic fibre; of course, other organic substancesand oxygen play a part in its formation, but the fl...
