(b).  Mucogen consists of all the constituents necessary for the building up of the peculiarly tender tissue called mucous membrane.  These constituents are absolutely indispensible, and nature must be supplied with them if disease of the mucous membrane is to be healed by removing its cause.

(c).  The tenderness of this tissue is obvious, and experience has shown how much it is exposed to changes in its normal condition, how easily an increase or decrease in its main functions is brought about.  While this increase or decrease in many instances is a natural fight of nature against the intrusion of opposing elements into the body, it frequently assumes dimensions that are most unpleasant and seriously impair the health, such as catarrhal conditions, all of which are due to poor or degenerated cells of this tissue.

The frequent occurence of this form of disease shows the importance of always supplying the cells of this tissue with the substances that keep them in health, or if need be, will regenerate them.

(d). Dose:  1 gram or one-fourth of a heaping teaspoonful once or twice daily will be found sufficient to supply the requirements.

In some instances this composition, as well as others, may be mixed with the main composition Eubiogen, in order that the patient may digest it more readily, especially in the case of a child.

Special directions must always be followed closely.

DECH-MANNA COMPOSITION No.  VII. 
DENTO AND OPHTHOGEN (TOOTH AND EYE CELL PRODUCER).

This refers to the enamel of the teeth and the crystalline lens of the eye.

(a).  Two special tissues of the human body, the close connection between which has been observed and recognized but very little, contain a predominant quantity of fluoride of lime, and consequently may be placed under one heading in this system, although the basis for the fluorate of the teeth is calcium, while the basis of the crystalline lens of the eye is gelatine.

(b).  I have composed this cell-food, containing the necessary fluoride of lime, in this particular way in order to avoid too much specialization.  From long years of practical experience I have found that the special cells of each tissue will take up only those constituents which they need for the construction of their respective tissue, as taught by the law of chemotaxis.

(c).  Composition No.  VII will be prescribed in case of tooth and eye troubles.  Any observant student of human nature will have noticed that in severe cases of degeneration (as for instance, diabetes) not only one of these two tissues mentioned above is affected, (as the decaying and falling out of the teeth), but in most cases also the other (as cataract of the eye).  Some doctors of course may ask what in the world the tooth has to do with the eye.  But, alas! they have yet much to learn.  The two are not so distinct from each other when one understands.  I fear that later on, when this method, which is the only true and natural one, comes into practice, everything will be specialized to such an extent that the real science of it will become so complicated that the proverb—­“Veritatis simplex oratio est”—­(The language of truth is simple)—­will become entirely obsolete.
