    it must be this ‘ microbe ’ that is the mischief- maker. I have thus explained my object in writing this book. I hope it is a legitimate one. I have notified in particular those for whose sake chiefly I have written these pages. I hope they will accept it in the same spirit as that in which I write. What I have written will also be of great interest to the general public. I am not ambitious enough to imagine that all the contents of this book will be either appreciated or accepted. The forces against the principles which I expound are too many and too powerful. All reforms, to be genuine, must come from within, and there must be a general consensus of opinion before they can be adopted. The reformer is the man who, for the moment, is best able to focus the feeling and thought which prevail. But if one here and one there, who wants light, should find it here, I shall be sufficiently rewarded. With at least this measure of hope, I send forth the book. May it prove a blessing to many, and a cure to not a few! Brigstock, Thrapstone. October, 1902.
