VII. DEGENERATION OF TOOTH AND EYE TISSUES.
It has been explained that this unusual method of classifying the eyes
and the teeth together in one group, is based upon the biological,
chemical discovery that the lens of the eye, like the enamel of the
teeth, contain fluoric acid, otherwise contained also in very small
quantities in the enamel of the finger-and toe-nails.
Disease of the eyes and of the teeth would require lengthy description,
for which space is lacking; suffice it to mention that the best way of

the treatment of both, rye bread, which contains large quantities of
fluoric acid, is highly recommended.
_Dech-Manna-Compositions: Teeth_: =Dento-Ophthogen=, =Plasmogen=,
Osseogen, Eubiogen. _Eyes_: =Dento-Ophthogen=, =Plasmogen=, Gelatinogen,
Eubiogen.
_Physical_: All physical directions according to the main disease of
which the tooth and eye disease, is but an accompanying symptom.
VIII. DEGENERATION OF THE HAIR TISSUE.
The hair, though a tissue by itself, is connected with the rest of the
body and nourished by the blood, as are all the other tissues, in
organic unity.
In the long course of years that mark the progress of the race, it has
lost much of its original significance as a
