Bastian, Henry Charlton. Nature and origin of living matter. *$3.50. Lippincott.
“For the past thirty-five years Dr. Bastian has consistently upheld the doctrine that life not only in the past originated, but does at the present time originate, from dead matter—the doctrine once generally known as that of spontaneous generation.... The present book ... dwells particularly on the importance to medical science of proof that disease germs may arise de novo.... Our boards of health are proceeding on the assumption that one typhoid germ, for instance, is always the offspring of another similar germ, and that if we can exclude these germs we can exclude the disease.... If it be true that a typhoid germ may under certain conditions arise where no such germ existed before, our precautions, tho necessary, will often be unavailing. And that they are sometimes failures for this very reason is Dr. Bastian’s belief.”—Lit. D.
