Schuessler's therapy claims that the minerals are needful to build up
the system; but he only uses one trillionth part of a gram and
_imagines_ that the remainder is to be found in the food. Now anybody
with a fair understanding can easily figure that if a patient of middle
age eventually loses through disease about 200 grams of lime, it is
simply a farce to claim that the above dose of 1/100,000,000,000 of a
gram (which is the homeopathic dose of Schuessler), will cure or replace
the lime which was lost.
There are other equally erroneous pretentions in Schuessler's therapy
which are really too silly to go into in detail. Time and space are too
valuable to squander on any such puerile hypothesis.
