A disease resulting from the settlement and propagation, usually in the throat, of the diphtheria germ, most common after the removal of tonsils.
The feeding ground of the germ is the accumulation
of body waste due to its improper elimination from
the body and of inassimilable devitalized foods,
principally starches, encumbering the blood stream.
A clean, pure body and blood stream cannot harbor
diphtheria germs. To pollute such a body with
diphtheria poison known as antitoxin and to inject
this poison into a body suspected of entertaining
diphtheria germs, without first using natural
cleansing and preventive means in the way of proper
organic nourishment, is due to a singular lack of the
elementary understanding of the purpose of germs
in Nature.
