Foreword to the first edition.

One will hopefully not misunderstand the title of this writing. It contains no
protection against, but a protective agent for cholera. Protection against cholera is
already enough: one has been so affected by this disease on all sides that it is no
wonder when it moves from one country to another, because nowhere does it find a
permanent home. But not enough to drive them away: they want to exterminate
them; and as they have not been able to dampen them with poison and bloodshed, so,
as I have just read (med. chir., time.), it is now even recommended to fire cannons
against them. Who had thought that such large pills would become fashionable in
medicine, and that these would borrow from politics their last resort. It seemed to me
to be cheap, a disease that may have some bad habits, but not completely without
help, while people no longer know how to let themselves be averted, and therefore I
have written this book as a custodian of cholera at least against the unjust attacks that
are made on them. As an appendix, I have attached a compilation of the various
views of the physicians on the next cause, the place of the disease, and the
contagiousness or non-contagiousness of the disease, which may give some cause to
the thinking physician. I ask those gentlemen doctors, who are about to make new
views in this regard, to send them to me, so that I can communicate them in a follow-
up; I do not ask that every time they also add the whole history and cure of cholera.
 First chapter.

Of all the rational beings in the world, man is undoubtedly the most ungrateful and
most dissatisfied. But the means to remedy this would not be to give him quite a few
of the goods which he laments, but to take away from them those he already
possesses. For dissatisfaction is not a vessel whose emptiness disappears by filling in
water and earth, but a sponge grown in the vessel, which shoots up the higher the
more you add water and earth. The blind are, as a rule, far more satisfied than we are,
and should rather be ourselves than we regret them; they reach farther than they see,
while our half-misfortune consists in seeing things we can not grasp. But not just
blind but one would have to make man deaf and callous if he were to be completely
satisfied, so that he would have nothing left but the pure thought: I am; although he
would then begin to root it for its inner treasures, since he already does it anyway,
when he still has enough things left over. In short, there is no source of discontent left
for man, as perhaps Carlsbad Sprudel, if one could petrify body and soul at the same
time by immersing it. Blessed stones, in what contented peace you are there, while
around you the peoples destroy what they have, out of angry desire for what they do
not have. You do not demand reform, constitution or charter, you take the footsteps
given to you,
The best proof of how little one has helped men with the fulfillment of their needs
lies in the fact that, with the comfort and well-being of them, their contentment has
not generally increased, but their dissatisfaction in even proportions. Yes, it is to be
wagered that of two persons, one of whom can only eat half full, but the other half
must lie on the plate, the second will still envy the first; for to the addition of the
missing there is only half a portion missing, to this half a stomach, and while the first
deficiency can be replaced by borrowing or stealing, or diminishing more and more
by fertility of the years and industry, the latter increases more and more.
Therefore, when people have long lamented that literature, commerce, commerce,
and food are inferior, this is not to be understood as though less thought and written,
produced and consumed, eaten and digested than before, of which all rather the total
sum has grown by a significant, but merely that more written than thought, produced
as consumed, eaten as digested, which are basically all signs of abundance. However,
not all have a share in such abundance; but it has never been the case and will never
be the case. As rich as an apple tree may be, it can not consist entirely of apples; there
must be a bare trunk and branches to carry it. It is strange to hear at the same time the
complaints of an overflowing pot that he can not grasp the soup, and an empty pot
next to it, that he had to content himself with the dew of the sky, while only one had
to overflow his surplus into the other. But I am mistaken, the two pots are not next to
each other, but the one of the rich in the first, that of the poor on the fourth or fifth,
which overflows from the former falls naturally downwards, not upwards; and with
all the sentimental sympathy that the rich man has for the poor, he keeps him as far as
possible from the body. When a poor cripple begged in the yard of a wealthy
landowner, he shouted to his servant: "John, take the whip and chase the fellow from
the court, I can not look on such misery." Others do not lack the same mood; only the
same naïve expression of the same or the Johann with the whip.
Does the Creator, weary of the complaints in which the rich and the poor meet,
send a means of putting everything in the right direction: will he be able to count on
gratitude and satisfaction? Perhaps, if he chooses the means of choice and does not
approach the incurable damage with a knife or a cautery, but conjures it out of the
body in a magnetic or homeopathic way; for the human race is tender and
sensitive. Supposing that he himself sent the Savior to the world again, and that
Christian history was not already over, one would certainly be quite different from
what godless Jews did, behaving against him, but something like this: one would
demand that he personally approached the government in a tailcoat or in a folded
letter of formal notice, and asked for permission to save the world. After examining
his miracles by means of a commission and payment of the due fees, he would be
made the patent for his operations, although under the restriction that he could save
no soul, because this would shorten the merit of the clergy, and not a body because
this would be an interference with the privileges of doctors and pharmacists, not even
with the improvement of clothes or equipment, because even the craftsman must be
protected in his rights; What would be left for him, then, to do what he first wanted to
do symbolically, really, to do his mission, to go out into the field as a worker and tear
weeds out of the wheat? But even if he came down with a few stalks here, you would
immediately prosecute him and apply the legal penalties to him. Also, the people of
every world improver requires that he should not tear out weeds, which has been
overgrowing for more than 100 years, but rather let it carry wheat itself.
It must be admitted that there is some modesty in the demand of the people, a new
tooth which it just needs, should break through some kind of diversion that protects
the gums, and when it has spoiled the stomach by abundance and sweet things, The
remedy should be sweet and be enjoyed with appetite. Jupiter sent the frogs, who
demanded a king, when they became too well in their swamp, first a log, and finally,
as he left all this behind, a stork who stopped the crying by eating the criers. Well, the
marsh bird, the cholera, is there; but men had much less reason to complain about
him than the frogs; for he actually eats the mischief about which they cry, and they
eat only for the sake of health; and cure,
Basically, what are the allegations that one makes of cholera: it removes a lot of
people; but has not one long ago sued the too luxuriant foliage crown of mankind
because of the disease of its tribe, and even suggested by secret means, if not the
present, yet to eradicate the future humanity; - it inhibits trade and shipping; but
governments have not done so for a long time by the lace of the Douans; It brings
merit to certain classes of men; but what have people's purses been different from
before, as communicating blisters from which one can not empty one without another
swelling. In all these relationships, then, it does not make the evil any worse, if there
is one at all; and if one calculates the reversal which literature has gained through
cholera writing, for over the cadaverous field of human beings they flutter like
innumerable fledged psyches, the emergence of the temperance societies, of which
the Diaconus Eger was unjustly named, was the enrichment, which medicine has
gained from new theories, nothing at all? It is worth while to shed light on all these
points, but it does not happen in the hope of reconciling people with cholera; because
only when it is over, many will loudly and publicly wish the good cholera times
back. It is with the old and the new time as with a first and second wife: if the old one
had been a mega, and the second an angel, one would always accuse the second, that
their buffoons were not a substitute for the fiery eye and the living curls of the
first; and unlike the people among each other, one only speaks well of the time after
turning his back, but scolding her in the face.
Second chapter .

It has long been agreed that there are too many people in the world, even though it
is less decided which of the people are among the many. In general, though, one half
of the physicians agree that the other is superfluous, that one half of the candidates,
one does not need the other, and since the same happens in all classes, reciprocally
between the two halves, then that would be true the whole humanity superfluous. The
rich, however, do not consider the poor superfluous as far as they need to fill their
bowls by work, but in so far as they want to sit down with them, where they become
as uncomfortable as flies, which you can not exterminate because of their
quantity. For all the more redundant, the rich are held by the poor, it is almost the
same conclusion made by the crab-apple tree and the sloe tree: that we have to put up
with bad crab apples and sloes is due to the fact that the noble trees carry away all
good apples and plums; and they willingly willingly serve anyone who chooses to cut
off their fruit from these proud trees. Of course, those were also once sloe and crab
apple trees, and these could ennoble to it; but in order to conclude, the latter would
have to be noble. Of course, those were also once sloe and crab apple trees, and these
could ennoble to it; but in order to conclude, the latter would have to be noble. Of
course, those were also once sloe and crab apple trees, and these could ennoble to
it; but in order to conclude, the latter would have to be noble.
At bottom, this dispute comes down to the general law of nature, that every dog
that carries a bone in the mouth considers the dog, which touches the other end of it,
superfluous, even if it rather touches it; and it is certain that if only two people
existed in the world, they would nevertheless complain of overpopulation; yes, the
quarrel between Cain and Abel probably had no other reason. However, our current
complaints about overpopulation do not seem to have a valid reason.
If there are unfortunate areas where the most strenuous work is only gradually
diminishing their wages through the increasing proliferation of products, it is not the
overcrowding that is the opposite cause; Because if there were twice as many, would
not twice as many stockings and tops be worn? Only the indolence of the people or
their leaders, that they, like caterpillars on an eroded branch, cling to an exhausted
branch of industry, while the tree has many other green branches to scatter, is due to
their hunger , So the Erzgebirge, with its halting industry, is an old, resigned miner
who stands in front of his exhausted shaft, wasting his last strength, knocking gold
and silver out of the dumb rock, while there are plenty of shafts far and near that
could be exploited. Those poor are to be pitied if one no longer wants or can do for
them; but the poor are not everywhere; For in most places there is bread to be found,
who, instead of with the beggar's bag in front of the doors, seeks in the field with the
seed.
In fact, is it generally lacking in food and other products? Rather, if grain and
potatoes were not enough, there could not be too much of brandy. Of course, it is
strange that one first wants to distil brandy from grain and potatoes, and then
demands that the residue should make people just as full as before. It is not disputed
that the Creator made grain and potatoes to be eaten, and did not count on these
products to be eaten. But is it any wonder that if you turn food into water, you only
have water left to nourish yourself? It is certain that when all the crops, which are
now consumed with brandy, take the way to the head, to turn there into revolutionary
and angry ideas of freedom and equality toward neighbors and states, rather than
bread, dumplings, and porridge pounding the way down, not only would there be
enough of it to be cheaply sold, but also money left over would remain to buy it,
reason enough to make the money, and fertilizer to produce the products
themselves; and the reason is very insignificant, which is said to serve the spirits to
strengthen the work, because the Roman coliseum was built at the time, since one did
not know any liquor, and came in, since one had enough of it. Merely the
transformation he has spawned that while otherwise the people drank to work, they
now at most work to drink and complain that they do not receive the bread in vain
from the government or poorhouse. The example of Henry IV is always presented to
the governments, who said that he would not rest until he had brought it so far that
every Sunday subject had a chicken in the pot, though to my knowledge he never
really made it so far; but at the same time it is demanded that the government itself
put the chicken in the pot for everyone.
So, in sum, there may not be too many people around; The only certainty is that too
many lazy and dissolute ones are there, but there is still no overpopulation in
industrious and orderly ones. On the contrary, a diligent worker, a maid or a
servant comme il faut , a capable official, things are so rare today than 100 years ago
and often with heavy money not obtainable. But one does not want to work diligently,
be ineffective and active, and think that if a part of those who are there die, one
would have to pay for the lazy and the lewd ones.
One can only ask how overpopulation can be considered, considering that in North
America, Brazil, and Australia, there is still so much arable land that, to take
possession of it, merely the extermination of some forests and savage tribes
calls. People who complain so loud about lack of work find there more than they
need. It is true that the poorest, but most of them, have the least means of getting
there. This is true, but in those parts of the world you have the most means of getting
them there, and most need to use them for work; it would just have to make an offer
and somehow organize the thing. Why is America completely full of Irishmen, not
even full of Schneebergers, Annabergians, etc. But those did not fly on their own
wings across the sea. But if somebody really wanted to organize the thing, what
would happen to us? The patriotic tendency to starve in the place where one is born,
rather than to go to a strange place where the place seeks people, not people looking
for a place; unless it be a matter of inheriting a rich cousin in India, where no one is
going to go there; Unfortunately, it does not happen often enough to prevent
overpopulation in Europe. And so, of course, if the lazy ones stay lazy, and the hard-
working ones with children and grandchildren stay crouched on the same spot that
does not want to grow while the family grows, Europe, with its towns and villages,
will end up like a basket of rotten cheeses. where the maggots teem among each
other, but no one wants to crawl into the fresh baskets,
So, in this sense, we are over-populating Europe and conceding that it needs a
remedy. What they find, however, if you do not want to find them in the previous
means?
The most common remedy in this respect is war. This remedy was applied in the
earliest raw times without any art and science; If anyone liked the place whereupon
his neighbor stood, he said: go away, and if he did not go, he pushed him away or
beat him dead; but since the Jedem could meet each other, no one was sure. Later, the
few smart people knew how to set it up so that the many stupid ones would have to
kill themselves in their place, if there was a lack of space, which they have so far
done with great good nature and with little personal benefit. But one soon realized
that the frugal fertility of the common people did not produce any frugal use of the
latter, and thus declared the individual manslaughter and theft to be ungodly and
motivated by orders, Honorary posts, rank and title the more general. In fact, every
king who has sent 100,000 people out of the world by wise combinations and skilful
strategic measures, and has put aside some countries, has wanted to be imprisoned or
imprisoned as anyone who kills a man of passion, or stealing a loaf of hunger, and,
instead of putting on a certain number of heads, which someone can show, a pillar of
honor with the name of the Great as a prize, erecting a pillar of shame with its head
on top of it, so would men far from having the number of wars necessary for their
needs; Therefore, those institutions are very wise that they are never lacking. who has

It is well known that people have brought to a high degree of perfection the system
of making the forest of humanity, if it becomes too dense, as thin as possible in an
expedient manner; and, if they are in abundance, they are modest enough not to care
about each other any more than other things that are about to be eliminated. The
rocks are broken up with powder, the forests are ironed, and the walls are bullet-
pierced, and the same means are used to dispose of the people, who must therefore
gather in heaps. Those who finish with the largest amount first get a piece of land as a
reward. In the meantime, one wishes to prove his disgust for manslaughter; therefore
you can calmly put aside all those dead and do not talk about them anymore but takes
more consideration of individual good-for-nothings, in order to show that one
respects even a worthless life. They feed them only a few years, can cost them several

In any case, since you know how to get rid of each other, and while half of the
trades, offices, and government revenue are used to entertain people, the other half is
just as regularly used to entertain the means of eliminating them. It is quite
understandable why people take it so badly that cholera now prejudges them and kills
some of the people whom the state has not chosen to do or who does not pay for
it. The potentates themselves were just about to undertake a general purisification; in
some countries, too, the people, in the feeling of their own full-bloodedness, were
crying out for it, and it was merely the diplomatic forms to make a start; now they see
with astonishment and indignation, that cholera seizes on their proper craft, and in a
way that is of no use to them. One encounters the cholera as against a wolf breaking
into a flock of sheep, not for the flock that would be slaughtered, but for the wool and
the flesh. In fact, the people who kill cholera, a famous general, or who wants to be,
could kill a prince of the house, a man who seeks popularity, and by himself the
capitals in the she has broken in, conquered, deserve the beautiful titles of
Moskawsky, Warschawsky, Wieninsky, Berlinsky all at the same time, out of which
even unselfish cholera does not even do anything; Also, they are only titled
treacherous, monsters etc, but that does not matter. Of course, cholera can not identify
itself as a person of God's grace, that is, a person born by the grace of God, where he
would not be able to reach by his own power, and who has grown on his throne,
because she, out of fear not to get it back, not to fix it for centuries; it has only very
recently crawled out of marsh and bog and has won all of its rule and celebrity
itself. If she were the daughter of any prince, any prince, such as Don Miguel, would
take a liking to her and marry her; then she would find what she does legitimate and
in order, since the prince would never have the right to do so denied, if they exercise
it only in proper forms;
However, one might still endure it if only cholera had any political or religious
color, be it ultraliberal or Karlistian, aristocratic or radical, rationalistic,
supernaturalistic or mystical, and then spare their friends and merely eat their
enemies. She would then have at least one party for herself, and instead that now,
when she lets herself be seen, everything joins together for her defense and
extermination, like horses who stick their heads in circles as they approach a ravening
beast, and blindly behind Rather, propagandists for the promotion and reproduction
of cholera, along with other propagandists of recent times, would emerge, and they
would become, like a knowledgeable dog to whom one can show and call his enemy:
Pack! Instead of being hunted down, like a mad dog, who without distinction gets
everything that comes in his way. In fact, she does not care about any cocarde or
bandage, she does not read journals from which she could learn who the worthless are
and who the righteous, she is not bribed by money and lunches; she does not ask the
rich man if he has time to receive them; she does not kill the great or the poor, the
king or beggar, she merely kills the human being. You should acquire this
impartiality, especially now that the demand and the consciousness of equality before
God and the law are growing louder, and more than a striving is to shave mountains
and towers and make the earth a mirror-like ball;
However, there was talk before and was announced with great exultation in all the
newspapers that cholera had become an aristocrat and fed only mean and bad
rabble. Accordingly, in the educated circles one began to judge the cholera much
milder; she evidently gained in kindness, and all abhorrence turned against the
people, who thought that she had to make up for the loss of cholera to those whom
she had forgotten; People were already designating the streets where they wanted to
move in and began to acknowledge that cholera could clear a lot of misery from the
earth. Alone, since the cholera, who did not seem to care much about the friendship
and respect of the big ones, started to sweep off the spiders next to the flies and had
sold out to some counts and princes, the break has become complete and
incurable; yes, the great ones, in the feeling of the irreplaceable loss which each one
suffers in himself, express, if possible, even more aversion to this disease than the
common people, who concede that nothing is lost in them because they have nothing
to lose. If, of course, only the schnapps-drinkers and the rascals who are really ragged
die of cholera, they would not be reproached with it; but that even the unruly wine
drinkers and eaters and the rag-taggery in embroidered clothes are not spared, that
outraged. who tacitly admit that, because they have nothing to lose, nothing is lost in
them. If, of course, only the schnapps-drinkers and the rascals who are really ragged

outraged.
Here we do not fail to notice the pity that, unimportant to the persons, expresses so
generally and vividly against the unfortunate victims of cholera. Everyone is able to
produce pity in such great quantity, and without incurring any internal cost, that one
deals with it in a very wasteful way, all the more because a quite effective motive
helps to elicit it. It will probably be no one who does not now come out of his school
years of the Terenzian Homo sum, nihil humani a me alienum puto. should remember
what in German means: I am a human, so well could meet me, what meets other
people. This danger increases with closeness, and therefore it is more correct to speak
of compassion for the fellow man than for man in general; for compassion, according
to the same law as light, decreases with the distance of the object; yes, this influence
of closeness is so great that one can have more pity with a howling lap dog than with
a howling poor at the door, and that a stain on the dress makes us sadder and causes
more expenses than the rags of one Beggar, who stands three steps from us, although
we also do not deny this a little pity. In general, no one hollers that people are
unhappy and die at all; If people do not care about him, he smokes his pipe as calmly
as the Dutch planter, while they are scourged; yes, they are laughing or forgetting
something when he is used to crying or turning his eyes, so he lights the pyre himself
and dances around it to laugh when they cry; and who would not have listened with
pleasure in the last war, when 10,000 Russians, or the more the better, were slain or
perished by want and hunger. So one read first with the utmost indifference: in India
2 million people died of cholera; One reads it as a kind of curiosity or natural event,
as one reads: the Chimborasso spits fire now, one knows, so far he does not throw his
stones, so one can be calm; One said at most once: that is terrible; but nobody is
shocked: India was far too far. With a little more interest one read: 5000 people in
Moscow died of cholera: one feels more sympathy with Europeans than with Asians
or Americans; One casually inquired whether the cholera was contagious, and the
compassion increased or decreased by a few percent; depending on whether one or
two news heard about it; One read with attention and consternation: 1,000 people
died in Warsaw; and whoever had been indifferent to the Polish war began to find it
outrageous; everywhere, wherever the cholera wished to turn, she was forbidden to
enter the area, and she had to be blacked out to Hungary and Prussia; but when you
first heard In Berlin fifty people died of cholera, then the consternation knew no
bounds, and because one could not pull a cordon through the sky, one now called on
him to do it himself; but if it is only in Leipzig, then it will have an easy game; many
who are exhausted by the ever-growing pity and the fear that it may at any moment
pass into pity, can put an end to it.
So explainable are the curses that are now being launched against cholera, but are
they therefore founded? If we really need any means to dispose of a part of the
people, it is indisputable that what is not the most robust and well-behaved people,
like the war, but recognized manner from all classes and families, those who have
surrendered to gluttony and other debauchery It is preferable to their victims, and
doubly benevolent, cholera works by stopping them, instead of demoralizing men,
like war, but rather by encouraging them to abstinence and temperance.

Third chapter .

Indisputable is the form under which cholera appears, breaking and purging, very
insignificant, and of it merely for the symbolic designation of what it actually wants
to say with its appearance, been selected. It is strange to hear people complaining of
lack of food, while more than half die from the direct or indirect consequences of
gastric overload. To be sure, breadlessness does not mean that you have neither
bread, but only bread; since man does not live on bread alone, but only serves as a
chariot to drive meat and fat into the stomach. The bread for itself does nothing more
than saturate, which is just the most annoying part of the whole meal, in that all art
consists in arranging it so that it comes as late as possible or not at all; which is why
all the foods that make people easily fed, like dumplings, flour soup, hardly a
word, let alone come as a substance in the mouth of an educated person. But despite
all caution, one does not know to protect oneself from getting full; yes, there are
people who would give 100 talers to get hungry just once, and never make it, despite
all the refinery. However, they only needed to give a meal for it, which would be
quite well for a poor swallower suffering from the opposite calamity; Being hungry
by nothing alone, every beggar can; The real problem is to bring hunger back through
the food itself. So instead of eating less, you eat more, besides anchovy and pudding,
anchovies, seasoning and sauce, or you drink now to get hungry and eat to get
thirsty. and thus, by a skilful interplay of both, often brings it quite far in both, with
the tongue swaying like a pendulum, always keeping the machine in uniform
motion. Of course, nothing would be more dear to man than that his stomach would
have the reverse quality of the widow's oil jar, and since it is not the case, he at least
treats it as if it were the case, and if one wanted what was too much and if what is
eaten too little weighs against one another, then the earth could quite well keep a dog
from the excess.
It is true that great audiences are praised for moderation, and there will be few
governments that would not take effective measures to accustom them to their
subjects. Also, wherever people are fed at public expense, one obeys the principle of
moderation in a commendable manner, and in order to prevent all transgression of it,
finds the food so arranged as to arouse an immediate love of moderation. But it is this
virtue, as well as other respectable people, with whom, out of respect, no one who is
not obliged to do so likes to do, and therefore rather sends Andre. One seeks to accept
oneself with moderation. One eats z. For example, if you just eat too much of your
favorite foods, which you eat every day, and get drunk on happy occasions and on
Sundays and holidays, which are now generally celebrated by a rotten stomach; for
instead of heart, mouth, and hands, God is praised now with the stomach, mouth, and
hands, albeit in reverse order, and fasting is not eating nothing but eating something
else. Where would there be a solemnity whose feast was not food and drink, and if
one borne the boring and dry speeches that they hold, if they did not serve to
strengthen the appetite for something juicy and spiritual; Therefore, these speeches
should always be kept in front of the blackboard, never after the blackboard, the more
so since it is then easier for someone else to speak than for one's own tongue. A high
stranger proves his reverence by roast and pies, which you sit down in front of him:
as well as a young citizen of the world comes into the world, eat him, since he
himself can not afford much, Friends and relatives at least before, to welcome
him; his completed stages of life are called milestones by pies, and when he leaves
the world, they eat him goodbye and dry their tears with napkins. If something big
happens, one eats too much, something small happens, at least a little too much,
without doing anything. Nothing.
It is true, the body, a very frugal creature, does not demand all these banquets; he
even does not know how to accommodate the surplus he is offered: but that is his
business; he likes to see for himself. He really looks on too. How often do you say: I
have too much blood; Headache and nosebleeds do not leave me; but is it surprising
that when you pour a coffeepot overflowing, the coffee runs out to the dill?
The stomach has become the egg of all illnesses by the way one deals with it, while
it should actually be the urn of the health source, and it is like some dolls out of
which a beautiful butterfly should crawl instead of crawling Maggots out. Therefore,
all wise dieticians, since they do not want to use hunger as a cook, have at least
recommended him as a doctor. And this seems to me very correct: for the ordinary
method of having men eat and drink away with their chronic ills, and to bring into the
stomach remedies and stimulants in the stomach, seems to me to be as if one were
carrying people was exhausted, wanted to strengthen by giving him small packages
next to him or tickling him, to make him jump. What does not the medicine go to
endless trouble to remove or neutralize by chemical means all the sour, salty, carbonic
and hydrogenic juices that run around in the body; but in the simplest case, not to let
them in at all, few fall.
In this way, of course, it has gradually come to the point that not only the individual
human beings, but all humanity has spoiled the stomach; and to use remedies for
cholera, which now also pests not only the individual human beings, but the whole
human race, is actually to use means against the means. If you wanted to count how
many of the people who have been redeemed by cholera in a few hours, slowly and
miserably through liver congestion, stomach cancer, dropsy, jaundice, and how those
genii that swarm around a full stomach may all be called If you were to be tortured to
death, you would probably praise her, rather than calling her a raven, like a
compassionate child who kills a half-crushed worm. Yes, if cholera is a
punishment, Was not sin abundantly preceded? Many, of course, do not want to know
anything about it, because then they would have to leave sin, and to distract them,
they prefer the emergence and progression of cholera to the warmth of the lakes, the
appearance of the northern lights, and the earth turning from morning to evening
Connection. Now, though I recognize the grandeur of the idea of seeing here, with
reverence, symptoms of a cholera of the earth, which manifests itself to man as the
organ of it, and would even guess, rather than the symptomatic cure of men, rather all
camphor, all cajuput oil and Opium, what one has to pour into the sea, and to pull
woolen socks to the North Pole and South Pole, in order to prevent the cold of the
earth; but I think there is so much to it, to associate cholera with the other natural
phenomenon, that undigested things give rise to nausea, or, to give a scientific
expression to this explanation, the cholera of certain electro-magnetic effects which
cause a galvanic chain of meat, fat and spirits in the stomach can generate, derive. It
may also be true, as so many say, that the cholera came from India's swamps, but if
she did not find in each stomach a new marsh in which she could settle, her wings
would surely soon be flagged, and Therefore, to keep them, it is not the countries, but
the men, who should place barriers and patches on the stomach rather than on the
stomach, which, though it spits fire and flame against the cholera, is basically the
only gate,
It is at first incomprehensible how the stomach has so long put up with it, without
availing itself of its right to break away, which seems to him too much; Now that he
does it on a grand scale, and, as a nation finally revolting, of course, also transcends
the limits of it, one does not know how to find one's astonishment, since one should
rather be astonished at his earlier patience. The stomachs, in fact, have done no more
than all other peoples; it wants to be treated more liberally, and can it be denied that it
has at least achieved something in this regard? He has already been given fruit and
spirits as the greatest criminals; It is unbelievable how disgusting an apple or a melon
is nowadays, which was the adornment of every dessert lately; and as in the case of
bitten water-shying often breaks out at the mere sight of the water, the mere sight of a
bunch of grapes will certainly be sufficient to bring to many the cholera, which has
already infected its whole meaning. Perhaps now it would be even the opportune time
for the stomach to demand even more sacrifices, even a regular constitution, for what
would man not promise in the fear of death? Of course, all these profiterated foods
are innocent in themselves, so that cholera does not consume them, but the people
who have abused them. Perhaps now it would be even the opportune time for the
stomach to demand even more sacrifices, even a regular constitution, for what would
man not promise in the fear of death? Of course, all these profiterated foods are

themselves, so that cholera does not consume them, but the people who have abused
them.
It is true that when people refuse fruit and brandy, they believe that renunciation
must be rewarded with greater freedom in other articles, and every register of
forbidden foods is always accompanied by a list of recommended foods; for one can
not persuade oneself that cholera should want nothing at all from good courts, but
that they are considered elective. Yes, so as not to lose anything, one helps oneself in
such a way that one forbids the schnapps in general, but nevertheless permits a
cholera-schnaps, in order to let cholera have its will, but also to have one. In general,
man cleverly knows how to liberate himself from exceptions by an annoying
rule; therefore he never makes a rule without exception, in order, if the former no
longer likes him, to be able to make the exception the rule; or he gives the rule and
the exceptions the ratio of the whole to its parts. Thus, in all temperance societies, the
rule is not to drink brandy, except in cases where the doctor or himself prescribes it,
which latter is justified in doing so, if one suffers from indigestibility or has caught a
cold; but from time immemorial the spirits have been drunk differently than for the
strengthening and warming of the stomach, and the one who has an appetite for it,
does not now consider it his duty to overburden his stomach, not in spite of his vows
to drink? The whole effectiveness of the temperance societies wants to reduce
hereafter on the fact that hard dumplings become a fashionable court. However, one
would like to chase away the devil; because he sometimes plays bad tricks on people,
and in hell it's hot; but since, on the whole, he is a very serviceable servant to many
things, to whom one has become accustomed moreover, one still holds him by a
corner until he draws man into the abyss.
However, be that as it may, it must be regarded as a merit of cholera, that it has at
least made men aware and made them dare to undertake the heavy business of
temperance, which each one alone would not dare to undertake would unite. If it is to
be expected that this social pleasure will not meet with much applause, and, as
cholera turns its back, the more hungry it will fall on the untouched dishes, it could at
least have the benefit that it does not and it is not their fault that one only fears the
rod as long as one sees it, and then earns it twice as much.

Chapter Four.

Cholera is accused of hindering trade relations and traffic. The truth of this is
undeniable; but is not the necessity of barring just one of the few points on which
principals and subjects agree in substance, though they also argue in the form of
being among the various means of being a liberal man, that of finding everything
illiberal, what comes from the government is the simplest. While it is undeniable that
books and journals talk about general and unconditional freedom of trade and
commerce, they are loudly demanded for the good of the people; but this is
undoubtedly only because it is not there, and ó as a newer philosophy considers
everything that exists to be reasonable ó the other way round, true liberalism declares
everything existing unreasonable. By the way, if one did not want to use their most
beautiful privilege of blaming the government for all that, why would they not want
to use the government, which does not throw in the windows or demolish the house
like the people would do if they were given such things? wanted to say in the
face. But the government would do badly to the people if they wanted to transplant
those plans into the open air that grew up in empty hollow pots in room air, among all
the weeds and the defiant, rooted old tribes that grow there. In fact, the newer
revolutions, as far as they have come from the people, have had the purpose, to win
the so-praised freedom of trade and commerce? On the contrary, they intended to
make more of the existing barriers for the country than to the individual cities and
corporations, and the people liked it rather than in the name of trade and commercial
freedom and other freedoms, but at once fell to them themselves. A people so full of
liberalism that it seeks to surrender its abundance of it by force to foreign nations, to
whom it is admittedly in most cases ill-fated, demanded his when it was released in
the name of freedom of trade, of commerce, and other freedoms, it immediately
began to affect itself. A people so full of liberalism that it seeks to surrender its
abundance of it by force to foreign nations, to whom it is admittedly in most cases ill-
fated, demanded his when it was released in the name of freedom of trade, of
commerce, and other freedoms, it immediately began to affect itself. A people so full
of liberalism that it seeks to surrender its abundance of it by force to foreign nations,
to whom it is admittedly in most cases ill-fated, demanded his glorieux jours du
juillet , that all foreign artisans would be hunted out of the city, so that the victory of
liberalism could benefit him as well; and some very liberal city was one of the main
reasons for their glorieux jours du septembre in the hated freedom stranger to
introduce foreign brands, and one of the finest fruits of this beautiful day that the
Meßfreiheit the stranger to 2 / 3 shortened and the introduction of foreign articles was
limited. Have we ever heard that the carpenters, butchers, and bakers of a city have
come to love the liberal ideas of freedom of trade and commerce for the free import
of foreign tables and chairs, foreign flesh and bread, and does not demand a new
fence for every new manufactory the country? It is true, everyone wants only that a
barrier exists for the products which he himself manufactures, but for the others the
most absolute freedom, and this is the fundamental feature of the liberal ideas of the
people; but one has yet discovered no means of blocking every single product while
leaving the whole set free; and that is the reason for the dissatisfaction of the
people. For, of course, a blind man sees that, after all, he does not gain anything in
the end, even though he is the brewer,
But if, after all, for the flourishing of his own business, a railing with an outward-
opening door and a customs house in front of it is necessary, and, if the government
itself seeks to lift a shackle somewhere, a guild will certainly find itself, which woes
call for it that they tear a clamp from the whole: what is it that cholera is reproached
for the barriers that it causes? One is rather happy; For, now that it has stopped
accepting foreign products, will not domestic industry excellently grow and
flourish? How happy we will be when she first draws a cordon around the whole of
Europe; then we will begin to produce sugar, coffee, tea, cinnamon and cloves
ourselves in the country, which we now receive from abroad with heavy money. It's
true, otherwise corn, potatoes, and wool were grown there, which grew better here,
and with these products bought cinnamon and sugar, which grew better in India; but
one needs merely to extend the barrier a little further, and to block every apple-tree to
compel it, instead of its ordinary bark of cinnamon bark, to produce tea-leaves instead
of its unsavory foliage, and syrup instead of sour Eider's; or would it at least go so far
as to the advantage of the individual that every house would be shut off so that the
inhabitants would keep the money in the house. Like many empty rooms, they would
then be planted with turnips and potatoes, which cost them an expensive tribute to the
land, or they would make stables for creatures and cows! To get rid of the boot
cleaner in the house, So you save your Speziestaler monthly by brushing the boots
themselves, and the heavy tailor and shoemaker bills that everyone sighs now, you
would see only with joy ever higher start, if you had to pay yourself. It does not even
mention how many people would live at this facility, who would be employed to
maintain the barriers, and the at least free homes, lights, and lumber in the house they
cater for the well-being of their inmates to find.
The benefits of domestic barriers can not be overstated at all. If they were
abolished, a flood of better and cheaper products would soon flood the country, and
no one would want to buy any more from his bad domestic manufactures. But
someone can still feed himself, even if he makes bad cloth and witness in the
country. What labor and reflection he would have to spend on the free importation of
all articles, on the one hand to increase the quality of his products, and on the other
hand to reduce their price so as to be able to withstand competition with foreign
countries through the most advantageous use of the means of production. All this is
spared the manufacturer by the so simple means of locking, and how much the pile of
manufacturers, not to say the factories, must grow, needs no discussion. The question
arises in any cultured state: does the audience actually have the shoemaker and tailor
sitting in order to have shoes and skirts made by him, or does the shoemaker and
tailor sit the audience in order to get the shoes and skirts from him? whose
preparation he considers necessary for his subsistence to be paid? The former view is
spacious and uncomfortable; the second is practical and immediately illuminates
each; for it is much easier for everyone to derive his advantage directly than for the
indeterminate thing, which the scholars call the public or the state, to have direct
profit, and to draw everyone from it. Why should one, in order to feed one's limb,
demand that it be laborious to find one's own food, and that it goes through the long
digestive and nutritional process before it reaches the limb; you put a band around
your penis, so it will swell up. But such a band is a barrier.
Like many factories that barely sustain themselves at all barriers, they would not go
any further if they wanted to lift the barriers. These are indisputably those for which
our soil is not made at all, for what flourishes in a country by itself does not require a
ban or is basically unnecessary to the public; but these factories need not be cherished
all the more if their businessmen are to persist, and, as their petitions for barracks
indicate, they usually sacrifice themselves for the ungrateful enterprise, in order to
give pride to the fatherland, products in their own To create bouquets that otherwise
only boasted abroad. How patriotic it would be z. For example, if someone wanted to
plant the delicious plant, the olive tree, instead of oilseed rape and turnip rape, And
could he not claim, as otherwise there would not even be hope for the prosperity of
his enterprise, to make a claim on the fertilizer with which his neighbors fertilize their
grain and wheat fields? Would not it be further cheap for someone to set up a factory
of dolls' heads and Nuremberg pictures with us, by which he nourished a lot of people
and himself, protecting him, who would pay his taxes to the state and otherwise could
not live, and the The entrance of foreign paintings and works of art was forbidden,
since now the country is supplied with domestic products; and would not be able to
suspend premiums for those who sold his paintings and gypsum collections in
support of this domestic industry, and made a collection of those native
products. otherwise there would not even be hope for the prosperity of his company,
and rightly also claim the fertilizer, with which his neighbors fertilize their grain and

No less great than the advantages which the subjects derive from the barriers are,
however, those which accrue to the governments; hence the nice concessions of the
subjects and governments in demanding and approving the barriers.
When a government says to the people, I feel like setting up country roads and
canals in the country to open convenient communications for domestic trade; I want
to employ a sufficient number of intelligent people, so that court and administrative
proceedings can be carried out quickly; I want to maintain a stately military power in
order to protect the country against foreign intervention and charm; I want to support
scholars and artists to raise spiritual intelligence; I want to pay debts in order to
liberate the country gradually from a burden that has imposed on him sad times, so
the people say: you do very well on that; that is all your duty; only it will not find all
that enough and not only demand it on the spot, but also much more. But if the
government now adds the last sentence:1) and 100 other liberal journals: Fuck a
government that wants to suck its land. But, says the Government, the time is over
now, when the stones, of their own accord, joined together to the streets and walls to
the sound of a lyre; the people who see to it that everyone keeps his own do not want
to go around in rags themselves; I would not have to give you the word of God in
vain; for no one preaches in vain of Christian love; and you get the money that you
only allow me to pay in the meantime, and I can give you all the more rewarding
work the more you enable me to pay you. The people replied: we are not caught by
these sweeping sophisms; in the bee and other liberal journals succinctly stands:
excellent institutions, little, preferably no taxes, these are the things every good
government has to keep; how they can be united is not ours, but your cause; for that
you are the government; By the way, we have nothing against declaring you
incompetent and governing ourselves in the future. However, one is not restrained in
his rate. Bees and other liberal journals write: if taxes must be, then at least not so
inhumane, bread, meat, salt and beer, which every man, the poorest and the richest,
needs to tax. Yes, the people cries: in the bee it says: Thou shalt not tax bread, meat,
salt and beer, and we will keep this commandment, God punish us! But, says the
government, if I want to tax things that nobody needs, so I will not take much by it. ó
So fix it all the more expensive! ó But then you will not need the stuff anymore and I
will not get anything again. ó Well, do whatever you want for me, just not my field
and not my business, and do not devote so much to things that do not benefit me, or
whose benefits I can not see at all. In short, whatever the government may do, the
taxes slip away from her, like water she wants to grab with her hands. or whose
benefits I can not see at all. In short, whatever the government may do, the taxes slip
away from her, like water she wants to grab with her hands. or whose benefits I can
not see at all. In short, whatever the government may do, the taxes slip away from

1) A liberal journal, which is currently published in Chemnitz, is widely
distributed in Saxony.
 She takes good advice, however; she walks about the countryside, knocking on this
and that door, and humbly asks if there might be anything left over for her. As soon
as the inhabitant hears them, he pulls the tornest coat he can find over his whole
dress, and calls out to her: Is not it enough that you have reduced us to these rags; do
you want to take these too? Go to the neighbor, I give nothing, I have nothing. She is
not annoyed to receive the same answer at every door; but at last the people become
morose and say, "Let us now be at peace; otherwise we will send you our deputies,
who will tell you what it means to be quiet subjects.
What is left for the government? She reflects on how to find a means that will
enable her to levy charges and subjects to pay her. At last she thinks of the
locks. Anyone who seeks a ban on government demands that they pay their dues; It
must, then, be a means of relieving the burden of this burden on the subjects, and for
the government itself the indirect taxes and tariffs are deducted from the enclosure as
fruits. It thus confirms not only the compulsions of beer, the necessity of compulsion,
and every constraint on society, and compulsion for society, and would indisputably
privilege the urge to hear, since the importation of foreign products into the ear is
perhaps more dangerous than any other, if it were a douane in front of every ear could
build; but, besides these small barriers, which mostly only benefit the individual
subjects, they now, for their own good, lay a great one for the whole country, so that
this now resembles a great penitentiary, with a general wall and many small cells in it
in which the individual trades sit and work like so many isolated prisoners; only that
they rejoice over their cells and walls themselves, and, if they wanted to tear down
their prison and give them the freedom to grow themselves, how and where they
wanted, would make great lamentations that they were robbed of their protective
asylum. with a general wall and many small cells in it, in which the individual trades

Again, what makes cholera a reproach when it causes and promotes barriers that are
desired by individuals anyway and demanded with impetuosity and granted and
organized by the government with good will? It is profoundly reproaching the more
unreasonably, since one benefited from the cholera itself, to voluntarily strengthen the
barriers of the cities, even without the cholera required, and, while it draws the body
already enough, this still by voluntary Strongly supported. Thus, among others, in a
city famous for its charity, the poor mountain folk and pedlars were easily forbidden
to enter on the occasion of cholera. These people would otherwise read about the
Mass, on which, as on a rich table, the city itself dined splendidly, the falling chunks
of wood, bread, and potatoes for the winter together; indeed, their entire annual
budget was calculated on it; through play and song, colorful costumes, carpets, and
baskets, they adorned the fat oxen of the profit that was slaughtered, as well as with
so many bright ribbons and wreaths, so that, even those who had no part in it, they
took joyous part in it; and so effected the Mass, instead of appearing like a dumb
Pharaoh Bank, where only the sound of the right and left cards be heard, and the
faces of the Pointeurs, playing their disharmonic tunes to the rigid bass in the moves
of the banker and croupier, became a lively fun carnival game where the boy's
threesomes in terms of pleasure, that he could get away with, as much as the taler of
the rich man. But:
All those flowers have fallen
From the cholera pestartígem
Wehín;
To enrich one among all
Must have these gods vergehín.

They drove out all those in their poverty still funny and colorful people; and what
remained now, as a few yellow skirts with skinny hands in the broad flap pockets and
yellow faces with papery physiognomies of courses and changes, which one could
see running back and forth mute calculating. But are those people being sold because
they could bring in the cholera? ó Preserve, for they came from the healthiest parts of
the world and could have infected the city with health rather than disease, if they
were receptive to it; or because they caused a great and dangerous human
confluence? ó Preserve, for they would have exempted 100,000 people with open
arms and would have quite gladly built another city beside the city, if everyone could
prove that he was not merely in the city, but also the city through something brought
in; yes, people of this kind have been urgently invited to come, yes, and they assure
all protection against and all care in cholera; and even those poor people were so
compassionate to grant admission on the condition that they would bring in at least
ten times as much money as they thought of bringing out at the best. When, therefore,
a full purse jingled at the gate, the city immediately called the porter with
Goethe: that they would bring in at least 10 times as much money as they thought to
get out at the best. When, therefore, a full purse jingled at the gate, the city
immediately called the porter with Goethe: that they would bring in at least 10 times
as much money as they thought to get out at the best. When, therefore, a full purse
jingled at the gate, the city immediately called the porter with Goethe:
What do I hear outside the gate
What sound on the bridge?
Let the song echo in our ears
in the hall!
But was it only an old violinist or harpist who came up with the saying:
I want to sneak up to the doors;
I want to stand still and modest;
 The pious hand will give food
And I will go on;
she answered:
Hunt out the old man ó
What shall we carry to our
burden?
The other burdens!
In fact, the only reason for the rejection of those poor people was that possibly
cholera could be introduced by some of the rich, and then possibly one of the foreign
arms get sick, and then the city would have had the cost of it, against it It will cost
you no brighter if these people certainly starve to their death at home all at once; you
would have to send them for free the money you could have earned here. But then the
other, not to be despised advantage, which one has gained from this barrier would be
lost again, namely that the charitable inhabitants of the city could now have the merit
themselves, which otherwise would have taken away those poor people. Anyway,
times are so bad now, that you hardly know how to wear a silk dress, to bring a sleigh
ride and two balls a week in the winter; and it is bad enough that, even if you deny
twenty poor people what they could have lived through all winter, you can scarcely
dispute the twentieth part of any of them; but all the more must one take it
together; and it can not be blamed on a city if it does something on an occasion when
everyone demands an urgent need for something to be done, at least not neglecting
it. but all the more must one take it together; and it can not be blamed on a city if it

something to be done, at least not neglecting it. but all the more must one take it
together; and it can not be blamed on a city if it does something on an occasion when
everyone demands an urgent need for something to be done, at least not neglecting it.
And basically, even those poor people can not complain that they are wronged. We
have thick law books; but where is there something of a right on which the poor
people could rest in their calamities; while there is no lack of laws on how to thwart
their secret pratics to seize honest business to the detriment of wealthy people. If a
poor girl wants to work legally with her hands and what else can the poor creature
continue to help through the world, then the dressmaker, who, instead of making the
seamstress, lets blacksmith, carpenter, thresher, or if he does nothing good, could
become a soldier, capture and punish; she becomes dissolute now, then she is driven
out of the city; and the dressmaker says: there you see, What comes out of wanting to
still cherish and to care for such dissolute rabble. But of course the dressmaker pays
his dues and is to feed his wife and children; but those poor creatures have nothing to
pay for and have no husband or children: for who takes a creature that has
nothing; They want to acquire all this through their merit. Well, I hope that thieves
and murderers will soon come to the government, that they will pay them dues, and
promise to marry and reproduce their sex, for these are so beautiful reasons for
choosing the government to protect a trade. But I would very much advise the tailor-
shop-girls to let the ladies' tailors sew on the witness, who tore them out of their
hands, without wanting to mend something for yourself at the witness; for, though
these gentlemen are the gallantry themselves, the most trained hound, though he has
sufficiently strong thighs and feet to hunt, will rather beat them under the belly
behind the stove and forget all modesty when the poor little dog he is his Piece of
bread or roast has taken away, makes it to take it back to him or only inapproachably
approaches. In addition, the Mamsells can work secretly instead of the journeymen
for the dressmakers in locked rooms; for employment these gentlemen like to treat
the poor girls, if they themselves can only enjoy the fruits of it and thereby spare an
expensive fellow, who can run around and beg for it. I do not trust myself, to continue
to say something in favor of the Tailor-Smiths; so as not to be declared a Radoteur in
the Sachsenzeitung; they only consider the following suggestion. While submitting
their petition to the government, they were willing to cede all their rights to the
manufacture of women's clothing, but in return they had the privilege of being
allowed to wear trousers and vests in the future alone. For as it is right and proper for
men to attract women, I do not know why the opposite should not be so right and
proper. In fact, since men reserve their gavel and planter, for which the Lord God has
given them their fists, it would not be too much of a woman to demand the needles
exclusively. The man's hand first has to unlearn its power, while the women's fine
fingers are themselves only articulated needles, which easily and happily make
friends with the real ones. At least against the first half of the proposal, the women's
tailors would have nothing, since they themselves lose nothing; but if the gentlemen's
tailors then make complaints, then the Mamsells have learned enough from the
women tailors how to handle these people now; The master tailors will then soon be
unable to pay taxes and to feed the wife and children, and what remains for the state
to protect from them? At least against the first half of the proposal, the women's
tailors would have nothing, since they themselves lose nothing; but if the gentlemen's
tailors then make complaints, then the Mamsells have learned enough from the
women tailors how to handle these people now; The master tailors will then soon be
unable to pay taxes and to feed the wife and children, and what remains for the state
to protect from them? At least against the first half of the proposal, the women's

Fifth chapter.

Surely it must take wonders, once there is no hesitation in blocking people the only
way to legal merit that is open to them, that cholera can be reproached with
something of that kind, cholera, which, as with From a watering - can he spits out
articles from which the most blessed harvest shoots up gold grains for the farmers of
almost dried fields of trade and commerce, and who, when she stuffs a bottle of half -
withered merit here and there, only the stopper from an overflowing champagne
bottle fresh profit pulls. Of course, little is said about this gain, while one speaks a lot
about people who have been hampered by the barriers to the distribution of goods
that cholera has brought with them. Although some of these bankruptcies are likely to
be reckoned with profits made on the occasion of cholera, yes, those who make a
profit will even help those who have the loss in their complaints - indisputably not to
be able to help them in any other way-much like a flock of fat geese instantly joins in
when a flock grows louder from frost or hunger; and, as the rich Greeks in interiorly
ruined and sad-looking houses are inwardly cleansed and amused, so now the face of
many, so melancholy on the outside, just like a dilapidated wall, would have moved
before an inwardly quite contented soul to give the presents that they receive from
cholera, joy and prosperity, do not notice behind it and do not bury or beg her. In such
cases men always behave in exactly the opposite way as the milk-women, who call
water milk, and milk cream, whereas true cream is not to be found in them, always
calling a tolerable condition a bad and a tolerable one tolerable at most ironically, if
they are really really bad, speak of an excellent state, on which not to be caught
otherwise they apply the greatest caution. After all, humans are already organized by
nature in such a way that they express the feelings of pain and displeasure by
shouting, but at the very least they quietly smile at the feeling of a peaceful well-
being, and so to speak introduce a concert of violinists.
Incidentally, the poor people can thank God that a machine has not come into the
country instead of cholera, a much larger monster for them, who works for the owner
without having to feed it, but at the same time eats away both work and bread and
against which they must not even rebel, since it is now sufficiently established that
the machines are the true legs on which human culture advances, where it can not be
resented by such a great being when it is on the way some thousand people
dead. This, however, is incidentally proved by the fact that it is now their duty to let
go of the advancing culture for the benefit of posterity, and not, as a rule, they are not
lacking in pleasure to break their legs in two; or they are also shown to show that they
basically have an incorrect view of the machines that are their secret
benefactors; they just do not see the profit they attract, and therefore they want to tell
them the same thing: work, on the contrary, decreases for them, which, of course,
may be true in so far as they now have to work much more, to earn as much as
before, for they could now work on the machines; about the same consolation, as for
a criminal, who is said to want to do him the guillotine, with which he is to be
beheaded afterwards, and let him live so long, until he accomplished them; Also, if a
factory worker says goodbye to workers who are now running fruitlessly for work,
surely all of them are too stupid as if only one should have the scientific proof that in
the end the work actually increased for him. She may be there, but he does not find
her, and so he leaves all the evidence that so paternally cares for him, unchallenged,
but smashes the machines that bring the real need for him.
Now we ourselves are among the ruthless people who do not care for a few
thousand human lives, if it can cause that humanity will not forever remain a tailor
and cobbler, especially as long as one sacrifices hundreds of thousands of people for
much less worthy purposes. For every new shell, which wants to break the
developing humanity, can burst it only by convulsion and painful pressing, and it
would be no good if one said that it should rather creep in idly, the germ of life drives
it outward, and she would only rot in herself if she followed the advice; but we only
want the people who are about to give their food juices, so that the culture bears
flowers and fruits for others, not prove - and for these others the proof would be
completely superfluous - that they would really have to be fed up with our
philanthropic ideas, and that he who falls starving in the street on the street, would
have no right to fall over and do it only out of evil will, to inhibit the progress of
culture. It is true-to put forward this example once more, that we only get tired of
disgust-the art of printing now employs perhaps 5000 people, where scarcely 50
copy-writers found their bread; but is only one of the copyists who walked in the
emergence of the art of printing, was fed by the bread that now make setters, printers
and booksellers all together. It has been published in France in three very witty
pamphlets, to put a stop to the anger of the people against the machines - which may
have been a more effective means of distributing the prices, instead of distributing
them to the writers, to the unemployed workers - to the proof that all the estates are
winning through the machines; and all who gain by it have sufficiently found the
proofs; and to persuade the small number of people who were about to destroy the
machines, it would only have required the addition of the proof that 3 groschen wages
of the day are more than 10 groschen of the day; which were not directly interested in
distributing the prices, it was undoubtedly considered superfluous; and so, in every
single case, one is always upon the only proof that has proved itself
As far as cholera is concerned, unlike selfish machines, it brings with it almost only
direct and general advantages in terms of acquisition. As already indicated, it has
given an almost unprecedented turn to several branches of commerce; and, however
dubious it may be, whether cholera is propagated by commodities, so much is certain
that the commodities are excellently propagated by the cholera, only having to apply
their name as a prefix to any commodity, to them if they hitherto he has sat so fast, at
once to make afloat, a feat that is so well acknowledged that soon the word cholera
par excellence will be found just before the name of every commodity, as the word
lord before the name of every man. So you have cholera chocolate, candies, liqueurs,
bandages, shirts, stockings, Hats, sticks, waltzes, and not all. Of course, all these
articles do not help against cholera; But they are not supposed to do that either, but
cholera is supposed to help them, and as long as one has no commandment: "Thou
shalt not misuse the name of cholera!" It is not to blame anyone, if he jumps at will to
push something out of her, so that he does not go away from a cow that milks so
many, not just with an empty bucket. It will be interesting, however, once the cholera
has gone its way, how quickly one will tear down the cholera labels of all articles, so
that no one can suspect any relationship of the same; like all the newspapers and
street corners full of his name, as in an invasion of a foreign conqueror as long as he
is present,
I do not want to be even in the case of intelligence leaflets by announcement of
cholera articles and books, lawyers and notaries by codicillas and testaments, paper
makers by the paper on cholera cards, health passports and government decrees,
Bricklayers and carpenters have earned by cholera houses, soldiers through the
subsidy for preservation against cholera, and nurses by the cholera
themselves; Another pen other than mine is to describe the blessings which the
cholera, so outraged, has poured out of their cornucopia over the land, and the well
deserved to be celebrated at last by a common harvest festival. For example, I want
the Revenues, which druggists, Pharmacists and doctors refer to it, discuss something
in more detail. It was indeed time for these people to get help.

Sixth Chapter.

The beautiful believing times are no longer where every root, bark, every stone of
particular appearance, tooth, fat and excrement of each animal held its own power of
nature, where shepherds and executioners with their whimsically composed means
still had the confidence that Since then, the doctors have tried to dispute them with so
much craftsmanship. In those times, a health spring flowed out to every drug store to
return as a gold rush; but since nature no longer has any strength, but merely obeys
forces, since tree, stone, and flower have disintegrated into a loose atomic powder,
which has been painstakingly remelted by Richter's Law of Attractions, since it has
been moldered with gold Ginseng root, unsung and forgotten, like the corpse of a
once powerful hero, in the box, and at last thrown out, to clear the place for heavy
bales of petty-bourgeois Hollundertees, which weighs too little for copper
triplets; and mummy, unicorn and shark tooth of once miraculous, gold-attracting
magical power only hang like dusted flags and coats of arms in a ruin, as monuments
of the beautifultempi passati around.
The decay of material traders is shared and surpassed by the pharmacists. With
increasing anger, they have seen the system of homeopathy blossom; and although
they have not grown tired of proving with the doctors that one trillion part, which
they recognize neither with their two eyes, the scales, nor with their finger, the pestle,
nor with their nose, the retort, smell, actually nothing is - although then of course the
earth, which is still less than a trillion part of the world, and the proving pharmacist,
who is still no trillion part of the earth, and the provocative spirit in the pharmacist,
which is still no trillion part of its mass, will not be anything either - so they have the
last Bret in the impending wreck of their business, the privilege of at least dispensing
this nothing, asserted with convulsive effort. But the truth to them is that they feel
that where nothing is, even the pharmacist has lost his right. Although he can still pay
for the effort; but if the apothecary is to live on the wages of his labor, it will look He
must understand that he does not feel any better then any other person. A fat tax is
what he needs, and what he now asks God, the government and all the world that
wants to hear it or not.
Truly, not without pity, I have been able to read the complaints of the pharmacists
about their present condition, to which I would very much recommend them to
establish a new journal in which each of us lay down his complaints about the tax,
even if he wished and, of which, after having grown to a certain extent, a specimen,
together with a few specimens of the thinnest pharmacists, would have to be sent to
the Government for evidence. Since, as hitherto, one would always say the same
thing as the other in the journals - to top it off, there could also be a norm - this
concerting lamentation would finally be appreciated by the government as the voice
of the times, while the individuals fruitlessly wasting their energies, constantly
developing the same proofs by innovators, that in the existing circumstances it is no
longer possible, his 100 or even 50 pct. to earn. In vain does anyone count for his part
of the government not just every single one, but also every broken retort and pot of
his laboratory, every herb that rots him, every recipe that is not paid him, every
remedy that is no longer prescribed, every one Tea, which the patient buys from the
druggist instead of him, every new pharmacy competing with his, the desperately
short recipes and the nihilistic principle of homeopaths, the 33rd1 / 3 per cent. Rabbat,
which demand the poor institutions, the costs of his own education, in order to reach
the height of the art, also some of these things twice before; In vain he draws from all
these approaches the conclusion that only an increase in the tax is capable of
preventing the ruin of the pharmacists, of whom he added a description with
picturesque colors; the government has deaf ears.
It happens that even the friends of the pharmacists, the doctors, who nevertheless
share their principle of little nothing, have for some time acted dishonestly against
them and adapted the diseases to a simpler way of life, which is why the pharmacists
have decided in some places to stop giving the usual Christmas gifts to the
doctors. And rightly so, for if the doctor wants to beat himself on the part of the sick,
he may just pay for them. I am very surprised that the pharmacists, who otherwise
invade the government so much to protect them in their rights, do not demand that the
use of physicians, otherwise sanctioned merely by custom and collegial
consideration, to add a certain bonus to the apothecaries for every prescription over
the number and quantity of the funds actually necessary for the patient; now that
some neglect him, they are made the law, but the patient is not inconvenienced to be
allowed to pour away all medicine; since nothing is more ordinary anyway than that a
patient needs the doctor for years, but not his medicine, which he usually only as a
means of the doctor to plague him; looks; Therefore, when prescribing the same, not
much consideration for it must be taken. to pour away all the medicine; since nothing

that a patient needs the doctor for years, but not his medicine, which he usually only

not much consideration for it must be taken.
Strange, by the way, that in spite of all the hardships the pharmacists complain
about, there are still so many wealthy and wealthy people among them, and the price
of the pharmacies is increasing, and in fact has risen several times from three years in
a few years. although lately I heard the gentlemen congratulate the gentlemen on a
very friendly note in the essay of a pharmacist, who, as usual, also contained much
good news, but for such a miserable thing as a pharmacy now is not to throw away so
much money.
At least the doctors are the worst. Although the fund they live on has not
diminished; on the contrary, while there is still only one health that will soon be as
rare as the Dronte, the number of disease genera and species increases annually; No
sooner is a new plant present in the system, than the disease is already there, against
which it serves as a specific; and although botany is now somewhat ahead in this
respect, it is to be expected that every existing plant will always reproduce only the
old, while each disease, by mixing with other seeds, is capable of carrying seeds other
than its own, later the little man will form a bouquet of flowers composed of many
more diseases than the great earth can have on real plants. As a matter of fact, the
floras which have been produced by the diseases of the eye, stomach, heart, and so
on, are no less abundant in the florescence of many cities, and on the whole stately
oak, a maximum of 500 insects gnaw on each leaf People at least just as many
diseases. It is not surprising either, as each step on the Babylonian Tower of our
spiritual culture is built solely from the wreckage of the torn body, and the means that
must be used now to teach man so quickly the wisdom that he can To endure
competition with others, to eat its body just as fast bleaches the canvas and the paper,
which can only be preserved if it slowly gains its whiteness in nature itself. Yes, man
is already rotting, while he is still sitting on the trunk, because the trunk itself is lazy
inside; the doctor brings him out into the world and out of the world, and with the
first recipe he gives the child, he actually prescribes himself for life. In fact, who
wants to put the tender child in the raw hands of nature? Is not the proper state of the
same, as man just needs him, a line that is between the too warm and too cold, too
wet and dry, to sultry and windy with almost no width as between two abysses, the
right and left Corruption threatens, draws. But who else can safely lead the mule of
health between them, as the doctor who knows his whims and knows how to
control; in which other port shall man come out of the roaring sea of air,To
banish spirits familiaris in the bottle and to present even their raw virtues to us
artistically transformed. Let us long out of the stagnant room air, you teach them with
chlorinated lime and vinegar to smoke; instead of sunshine you hand us a flannel shirt
and with a bottle of stomach-strengthening elixirs you save us from getting up from
the table and venturing out to where, in every breeze, a hidden enemy lurks on the
health of the walker.
However, only sickly people are recommended these remedies and even the doctors
sometimes allow the enjoyment of the free nature, but not at discretion and pleasure:
for only by the prescription of the doctor, nature receives the rank of a recipe and can
then without danger enjoyable portions; In this case, however, like a medicine taken
too sparingly, which is already absorbed in the mouth and mouth, the free air usually
gets caught between the threefold flannel that surrounds the body, without reaching it
itself. Healthy, some bold physicians allow the enjoyment of the wild even with
almost no restriction, merely with the recommendation, yes, at once to get used to it
again, if they could not tolerate it, and, if taken too much, to remove them by a
sweat; but which man is healthy now, and can therefore surrender quietly to his
enjoyment of nature without being held responsible by the doctor for his
body? Everybody now has his own disease, which leaves his body at most for a few
weeks or months, only to take a new freshness in it, or that only occasionally changes
housing in the body, one cough, the other Cold, the third headache, the fourth
toothache, the fifth glands, the sixth all together; the sugar bag full of warts, corns,
frostbitten fingers and toes, which every one besides the plate of the main disease
tells the doctor not to remember at all; which one should not say, I miss something
when one is ill, but when one is healthy.
In any case, there is no lack of material for employment and merit for doctors in
such a way; but can the most fertile crop be enough for grasshoppers? The number of
those who want to help humankind from their evils has increased so much that there
is now no need to help and that help now needs help. One should expect that, The
more the number of physicians increased, the more the illnesses would have to
decrease, and the more these had diminished, the more the number of physicians
would have to diminish afterwards; but, conversely, the number of illnesses has
increased with the number of physicians, and the number of physicians has
subsequently grown again above the number of diseases, so that now many
physicians are the only ones who have no disease, d. to cure. The known diseases are
already anticipated by them in advance, and if, by chance, the cold-fever in winter
and the intermittent fever failed in the spring, it would be so bad for the doctors, as
for the wine-growers, if the wine would once freeze them; and would the women's
doctors feel their weekly pay. These diseases belong to pure necessity; but even here
they are not enough anymore. Every year the hospital empties out like a Trojan horse
a new number of young heroes burning with desire to compete with the first
disease; but what a hardship it often costs some to meet one, since they are already all
occupied by the old heroes, and how often does a young doctor often have to stalk
around a healthy person, to be sure, in his body when he gets sick.
Who can now deny that cholera helps this common need of druggists, pharmacists
and doctors in an unsurpassable way? Every druggist now enters with admiration for
his box of lemon balm and peppermint tea, otherwise despised herbs; yes, a box of
camphor and a box of money are now identical things to him. Otherwise he lived on
caring for a few pharmacies; but not only every house, but every man has his
pharmacy, which he has to supply, and chlorinated lime, cajeput oil, turpentine oil,
vinegar, cantharides, garlic, mustard, pepper, angelica, which otherwise only brought
into the eye the effusion of the lacrimal sac , now serve the druggist as just as many
stimulants to move foreign money sacks to more abundant secretion, with his pocket
as a handkerchief he catches the golden and silver tears. Anything that bites, eats or
irritates is now released by the druggist against cholera; The noble game goes proudly
through the middle; but of the rabbits who are afraid of her, the druggist can get a
nice winter fur, and he gets along with a doctor, that he made some prescription out of
the embarrassed roots and seeds, which have remained behind him as a storekeeper
and this as an infallible remedy for cholera, whereby no one who has yet taken it has
died (in order to remain true to the truth, he does not need to give it to anybody
beforehand), then soon the commodity is no longer the commodity, but the druggist
to be embarrassed about the goods and he will acknowledge
The pharmacists, people who appreciate merit, have also become jealous of the
druggists, and have made known that they wanted to take over the merit of these
people themselves for disinterestedness and for the benefit of suffering humanity in
the future. Only her camphor and vinegar are the true camphor and true vinegar, and
in fact, otherwise the druggists would not be able to afford him so cheaply again, -
only they understand the difficult art of cutting species together and they can not To
observe for a long time that people were consuming things for the benefit of their
own bag that they could not count on, since these remedies did not even stop for a
while in a pharmacy, when they first assumed their medical effectiveness. much less
through the crafty hands of a pharmacist, who often knows how to make something
quite different from what they were originally made. However, the pharmacists also
make their own resources that run counter to the rules of their art significantly,
eg. For example, that of the Writznick Jews; but certainly this happens only with the
greatest theoretical repugnance, and only because it brings in money.
However, the pharmacists could at least give the druggists their merit; anyway, they
would not be neglected: many people believe that camphor helps the pharmacists
more than the camphor's camphor, and that vinegar of the four robbers is based on
secret, adept artifice, which includes years of pharmaceutical studies; So they always
keep their customers, and not just all the sick, but all healthy people, because much
more than cholera itself requires the fear of cholera. I do, however, realize that it will
go with gathering so many means as with collecting great learning: once the scholar
comes into the case of applying it, he does not know in speed what idea he first
grasps, and how he quickly enough the, to which he finally decides to extricate
himself from the others, since one is always packed into the other, and at last one
emerges under the heavy beds of his brain hemispheres, then the matter has long
since sprung; if, on the other hand, someone has only one naked idea in the otherwise
empty brains, she jumps out and grabs the thing like a nimble cat. Thus, between the
many remedies in the house, man will be much worse off than the well-known horse
between his two full cribs, and how one usually chooses the worst in choosing
between many candidates, not one of the good ones against the other at the back,
probably after the most unsuitable grab, after that even the time for the best is
over, Unfortunately everything at the same time the patient can not possibly use. He
may still have his Pechpflaster on the stomach and should also on the same
Envelopes, Einreibungen, mustard, blister plaster, sacks of flour, herbal pillows, salt
water compresses, Blutigel, cupping, moxes, hot ashes, brushes, to be burned spirit,
drip, cauterium actuale and potentialApply Warm Stones, Hot Water Bottles, and
Infinite Beds, rubbings and envelopes of whatever means, for there is the Writznick
Jew, of whom 200 out of two people, that of Jassy's host, died of no one , Martial
Spirit and turpentine oil, of which Hahnemann and Dr. med. Dürr promised that no
one would die, and innumerable other infallible means, which, taken together, would
drive out the cholera 999 times; but how many parts of the stomach must man have to
do all this, and how can one apply it, since man must also be in the bath at the same
time! It is just as much embarrassment when one thinks of the means which the
patient should put in the stomach; although it is easier to alternate here, when the
stomach only begins to eject one after the other. Not enough, even when breathing
one can give him the choice of whether he wants to inhale carbon dioxide gas,
Stickstoffoxydulgas, oxygen gas, chlorine gas, camphor mist or acetic acid. With all
these or the materials for it, a person, to whom his life is dear, has to care in advance,
so that afterwards there is no lack.
One sees, therefore, that even the pharmacist, to whom the doctor always refers to
obtaining these remedies, does not have cause to complain about the cholera. But
even the doctor himself does not go away empty-handed; and the mowing of cholera
around him is basically his harvest. Although it seems that in the case of a disease
that causes a man to heal in a few hours, not much could be earned for the doctor,
because how many prescriptions can he write during the time? Often the patient
outwits the doctor, no matter how much he watches, and has already made a run for it
before the doctor can still hurry up and write him his passport; whereby he not only
receives the present fees, but also all the future ones which he could have earned in
later illnesses of the patient. It can not be denied, It is a bad thing for cholera to take
so little consideration of the doctor, that she already dances with the patient to the
other door, when the doctor thinks she has just entered the first door for a set visit,
and her manner wants to offer the first bottle as a snack. For cholera does not know
that every disease has at least its five stages, and that it will not be admitted into a
pathological compendium if, instead of making the prescribed course, it is with
theStage prodromorumright in the acme, in German with the door into the house
falls. At last, of course, the doctors have noticed the badness of cholera, and are
treating a sick person as soon as they feel something of it, terrible at once, so that
vomiting is now worse than crime. By this rapid efficacy they can in many cases
replace what is lacking in their duration, and, although cholera can never offer the
advantages of a fixed pension conferring so many chronic diseases, on the other hand
it must be considered that that such capital-sufferers always, as individuals, year after
year, are a fruit-bearing tree, while the cholera-sufferers fall as abundantly as the
manna of the heavens, so that all the doctors who otherwise cry for food in the
wilderness may have enough of it. In fact, many, whom one otherwise saw busy all
day on the streets, visiting patients not both, as, as Weiland the wise Diogenes in vain
to seek people, now a whole hospital at his disposition. Cholera, moreover, has the
advantage for the physician that while one can not ask the doctor for the other
diseases, and consequently can not reward them before they are there, since one does
not know whether and what will come for them, against it The cholera long before
she comes is logged, so everyone wants to know in advance how he should behave
against them. It is very simple and easy to understand when he hears: be moderate,
good courage, and wear a flannel bandage if you can not win the first two things over
you, or even as an afterthought; Also, 100 doctors in more than 100 scripts have
already written that; but who would consider this advice to be valid unless he first
paid it to a doctor and had his change of health with his name signature in his
hands; because things do not cost as much as they are worth, but are worth as much
as they cost, and the doctors themselves insist on upholding the belief in paid
medicine.
In fact, what has not all been written about the unauthorized use of home remedies,
which are just as many secret ways in which the patient circumvents the duty which
he has to pay to the physician on his way to health; for, though sick but not healthy,
everyone is allowed as he pleases; only the doctor has the right to reprint him and his
own. Just about everyone has the right to fall into vice and folly at will, but only
through the bailiff may he return to a better life, no matter whether he himself feels
like this or another way. Which patient understood well even the art, the means,
which individually and raw now at the refined organization of the humans nothing at
all help, so in small squadrons, with the officer, To let the Rezipe at the top, which
march against the disease call, move on. In fact, one shudders when one reads in
medical writings of the damage that the self-treatment of patients with home
remedies has already done. There are nothing but cases of suppressed catarrh, rash

If, by the way, many really think that the doctor is superfluous in cholera, since,
according to almost all news in the first period of the disease, people can get well
even without the help of the doctor, if they only drink a few cups of warm tea; but in
the last, after the confessions of the doctors, the patient dies, the doctor may rub,
burn, or water him as much as he likes, and it must be remembered that many of them
share the same opinion. So if you need and pay the doctor for all other diseases,
cholera will not be an exception.

Seventh Chapter.

Apart from the not inconsiderable economic advantages which physicians can
derive from cholera, the profit which their reputation and their science are likely to
receive as a result is no less remarkable. With the physician's greatest skill as a
pugilist, always throwing the piece and patchwork of his art before the patient's eyes
in such a way that it appears as a splendid garb, he can scarcely avoid avoiding pales
in the diagnosis of other diseases let and embarrass yourself. As a rule, the most
learned doctor with his system resembles a stain-maker, who has one spot in his own
eye, and returns the dress which he brings to rectify a stain with a second one,
because he saw only his stain on it and a sharp lye treated. He may have been seeking
illness for a year under all the rules of the arts and could have earned the greatest
reputation in healing if only she had been there. The patient might consider the doctor
to be an essential being, and is more inclined to believe that his own nature was
wrong in his illness than to know the wisdom of the physician he has learned from so
many scholarly conversations with him; he merely lets the second doctor come at
last, because he thinks that the first is not lucky; which, to my mind, is almost as if
someone believes that his shoemaker is out of luck because he makes inappropriate
boots for him. But only now is the first doctor's neck broken.
There is the second, with the recipes of the first in hand; Of course he says nothing
about it; forbid, that would be against all collegial respect; he merely lets out a few
hm Hms, he just shakes his head, he just shrugs his shoulders, he just puts away the
prescriptions with a scornful expression, lets the bottle put aside and prescribes a
powder for that, and yet he does Finally, when he has to say something to justify his
new treatment, he clears his throat ten times in advance, as if he could not bring it
out, that the first is an ignorant bungler who, by his mistaken treatment, so far
destroys the patient that even he bothers would just bring him back to the old point of
view. Of course he does not burst out with it either; but a dozen half-phrases, like:
" which is not at all so much to be astonished, as it is always transformed by the
potions of the previous one; even if a dozen doctors are at the same time around the
same bed, it is to be said that they will make just as many different diagnoses about
the disease, so that the Leibnizian statement that there are never two things in the
world completely alike is no better as can be explained by the physicians' views on
the same disease. Even more so, too, is it very often the case that a physician has
already given innumerable means to a patient before he has come to terms with the
illness alone, using the means at first as a kind of chemical reagent, rather than as
precipitation the disease needs and, of course, because it does not allow human
beings to portion it like a liquid to be tested, but in order to test each with a special
reagent, but to pour them one after the other into one, at last receives a mixture which
no god could divorce. In general, a disease in the organism resembles a beast in a
dark forest, and the doctor usually resembles a hunter who shoots into the forest for a
long time before he knows where the animal is, and therefore many innocent animals
can strike instead. Either the animal escapes, if it were near, to another place of the
forest, in order to continue there its Ravagen; then the hunter says proudly: I have
expelled the monster; or, if it is brave, it is lured by the noise to the place itself; then
the hunter says proudly again: I knew immediately
In the case of cholera, on the other hand, the doctor does not need all such activities
to be at ease with his diagnosis, and to really do the right thing, since her symptoms
are too obvious, and also a blind man, once he knows that all the walls around him
are green, certainly a priorican diagnose the color of every single spot. Just the
distinction of having to deal with the bad native or the true noble East Indian cholera
can sometimes cause some trouble; However, since the first, like the native beaver,
can always be seen individually, but the latter, like the foreign, always settles in mass,
it is sufficient to always explain the first individual cases as indigenous or sporadic
cholera, and only then if it occurs in mass, the measures as against the East Indian to
enter. I have also used this feature everywhere; but it would be desirable, for greater
exactness, to officially fix the number of the sick, which belongs to the concept of
East Indian cholera, because in some cities one seems to have demanded a little too
many. There is no lack of other distinguishing features, indeed, if one reads the
descriptions of the Asian and native cholera next to each other, one can not deceive
oneself about their differences; but both are a few tender sisters, so that they
themselves may not even know what is between them and mine, and therefore often
confuse their symptoms in nature. The doctors, too, have noticed this, and the
practice in which they have always preserved them has sharpened their diagnosis so
far that they even know how to distinguish both cholera by similarities: for one does
not lead one to the first Cases of sporadic cholera, to prove that they are that the
deceased was altogether an old drunkard and a dissolute man, and immediately
provoked the disease by stomach-corruption; and does not one subsequently
reintroduce the same thing to reassure the public of East Indian cholera that usually
only drunkards and vile people die of it or that it is directly caused by dietary errors?
Cholera knows quite well that she can not fool the keen insight of the doctors so
easily and therefore initially seeks to sneak under all sorts of disguises and with false
passports. The one says, if you stop them: "I'm just an innocent impact." -
Happens! says the doctor in charge; The next one comes: "I am an old liver and
stomach ache and have already given some doctors something to earn, you will not
want to make me into my cholera house in my old days!" - Preserve, says the doctor,
our instruction is merely against the godforsaken young prostitute, cholera; - comes
the third, a little bit purging and purging, and with some fine physiognomy; they are
now examining it sharply: "Oh, she says, Unfortunately, unfortunately, I look a bit
like the East Indian runaway; but, gentlemen, my surname is very different; I belong
to the good old German family vomiting diarrhea, they have long known! "- It is true,
says one and the other, I have the pleasure of being familiar with this respectable
family - it also happens, in short all cholera cases sneaking in with a hidden weapon
under the mantle of another name of the disease, until it is enough, where suddenly an
alarm is sounded and, conversely, instead of all the other illnesses, concealed as if
conquered in a conquered fortress, suddenly there are only cholera cases, now From
now on, however, the physician is spared all the trouble of diagnosis, and the whole
mental faculties,
Here he meets the new advantage that the immensely frequent occurrence of
cholera allows him to study the disease quite properly and to seek out the most
suitable remedies for it; and, indeed, if we should not come to terms with the nature
and the cure of so many cholera cases, which are crowded together in a short time
and a small room, then we must despair cheaply that we should any disease would
ever take place in the way hitherto entered; at least mathematically it could be proved
that in fifty thousand years, we will not have brought it to fruition in the other
diseases, which occur only occasionally, here and there, in interim periods. It now
seems as if the cholera had been sent by the God of healing itself, In this respect, to
begin a new course of medicine from the beginning, according to Jacotot's method,
which repeats and analyzes one word to the point of weariness, before moving on to
the second, so that they will be torn out of their distraction and do a thorough job
learn. In fact, in the majority of different and changing diseases that prevailed in the
world, otherwise every patient paid in vain for the apprenticeship for the doctor, if not
for what he was doing. For example, in one important case of heart disease or
cerebral softening, he did not learn to let it go, and the next few illnesses that
occurred to him also explained and treated for heart disease or brain softening; but
now, when he leaves a cholera patient only to go over to the other, he can who at first
gains little capital of knowledge from each, always immediately recovers to capital,
and thus sees it grow with rapid speed. Also, the zeal with which the physicians seek
to use this advantage is unmistakable, and from the many remedies which have
hitherto been attempted against cholera, one can see that they are indeed very eager to
seek one that will help. So far, however, none is found; but even that would be a great
advantage, if the physicians once came to see of any illness that their previous means
do not help it; but now there are still so many remedies to be given each time, which
never help, never helped, and will never help, and which one gives only the more
zealously, as one more often occupies the same number in the lottery, the more often
it failed, the more it increases the likelihood that it will finally hit once. But a
cognition that does not bring about a thousand cases scattered at certain times may
perhaps cause millions of short-compressed ones. Cholera, however, had already
made it so far with difficulty that Calomel was gradually left aside altogether, and
became suspicious of opium, although this seems to have been very difficult for the
doctors, for without China, Calomel, and Opium To cure everyone thinks until now
for a greater feat than to play a concert on the bare G-string, and if you want to take
him nor the bleeding, he would believe to play on the bare wood. I also have to
confess that I have read more and more Calomel and Opium in the cholera papers on
the same page, that they are great remedies in cholera, and that they do not help; and
lately, in a treatise, I have seen Calomel straighten up again like a falling lion, and
face cholera's death-blow; but they are no longer respected. If cholera at last
succeeded in completely dispelling the nimbus of hereditary glory that still surrounds
these remedies, then great progress would have been made; for what has been
achieved with two such main resources would have to make even better use of the
smaller classes of funds. The weed of the remedies is once more than wheat, and
before the former is eradicated or at least thinned, the latter will not be able to
prosper. Yes, I would rather have the child poured out with the bath, where it can
always be caught, rather than suffocated in the bath.
To achieve this purpose more quickly one would only wish that the means, rather
than simply not helping, would be equally damaging, since many physicians are
already so satisfied, if their medicine does not get worse, that they are the greatest
Make an elbow; Yes, some of them reckon every day that the patient is still living,
according to the medicine he is taking. Nor, of course, is it to be demanded that the
doctor immediately throw away a means of knowing the effectiveness of which he
may have just been led by the deepest speculation, if a few patients die while doing
so; Only when 100 have died can he think of whether his theory might not allow a
modification, especially since death basically has no evidential value against a means,
because you know,
It must be confessed, however, that the advantage that Opium and Calomel,
because they did not properly fulfill their duties of thrusting them off the throne, is
less great, and that in their stead a true mob rule of other means has occurred, and so
too Reason may be that some medical aristocrats, or, as they say, rational doctors, still
cling to those royal remedies or return to it. The camphor rose like a second mirabeau
and stoked the revolution; but not for long, it has come so far that now everyone
wants to rule. The whole materia medica has come alive, like a frog pond, in which
everything quacks: I help, I help; and there are Bramarbase of means which have
never seen the enemy and swear, if he comes too close to them, to want to cut him
straight in the ground, and which he, if he really comes, at most with a disdainful
smile dismisses , It is not enough that the old means all dance about like mosquitoes
around the East Indian elephant, without being able to sting only through his skin, he
has also brought a lot of the plague from India, and attracts swarms of strangers still
every day; and God grant only that we do not keep it all in the neck when the cholera
itself is over.
 In the meantime we can treat the disease theoretically and, if not the most complete
and sufficient theory, we can try to design the possible theories in sufficient
completeness, so that once heaven gives us a principle to find the right one out of all
of them, they will not accidentally missing. Great minds are always ahead of time,
always sitting up out of the weathervane of the tower, where they merrily turn in the
wind, while the snail of the common human mind creeps around at its feet and can
not find the first step. If, therefore, some stupidly astonish those theories, because in
the present knowledge of the processes in the organism and the mode of action of the
remedies, they find no bases whatsoever from which they derive the theory, I do not
want to say that cholera, but to justify an illness in the first place, so do not let this
mislead us; it is great, even divine, a thing without the means to accomplish.
I have taken the trouble, in proof of the diligence which has already been applied to
this subject, to put together, on an ancillary basis, the various views of the doctors on
the contagiousness or noncontentiousness of the disease and the seat and nature or the
next cause of it will provide an interesting overview and may be able to provide a
sure result by drawing a means from all opinions. Similar compilations of the
different opinions in other respects, eg. Whether the blood-letting in cholera is useful
or harmful, whether the patient should drink cold, hot, or not, and so on, would
undoubtedly be no less interesting.
It will be seen from this compilation that the question of contagiousness or non-
contagiousness, the miasmatic, epidemic, or telluric origin of the disease is in fact
already being discussed with sufficient completeness, in that there is no conceivable
combination of ideas that are not already possible and no conceivable proof that
would not have been put forward for and against. For the one considers the disease to
be simply contagious, the other not contagious, the third for conditionally contagious,
the fourth for sometimes contagious, the fifth for secondary contagious, the sixth for
both contagious and non-contagious, the seventh for not so contagious as it is
believed that the eighth regards it as foolish to ask about contagiousness or non-
contagiousness, the ninth declares him unreasonable, who does not believe in
contagiousness, and the tenth declares him to be a fool who believes in it. Again one
considers the disease miasmatic, the other epidemic, the third telluric, the fourth
cosmic, the fifth contagious and miasmatic, the sixth miasmatic and telluric, the
seventh the telluric and the cosmic, the eighth contagious. miasmatic, telluric,
endemic, epidemic and cosmic at the same time, the ninth has such a profound view,
exhausting his whole knowledge, that it can not be uttered in simple, clear words; and
here are all the views of electric, galvanic, magnetic, electromagnetic, sidereal,
infusorial propagation, their course with or against the wind,
It is, indeed, a pleasing sign of the educability of the doctors that, having only just
learned of Egyptian ophthalmia and yellow fever, they do, I do not want to say, but
too many results on the contagious or infectious nature of a disease, have once again
made such a beautiful application in cholera, but on a much larger scale, from this
method, which, however, we owe to the grand manner in which cholera occurs. It lets
all the little children come to it, if it is not misuse to use this term here, and
graciously receives the obelisk of the poorest of the poor, whom he wraps in his thin
brocade, as the heavy trucks with which the rich came come; the good will is the
same with everyone and at last all but uses the priests. What only wakens, is the
obstination, the governments show this. Having been proved to them a hundred times
that the disease does not infect, that all cordons, quarantines, etc., not only do
nothing, but harm only, they have, with a few exceptions, still persisted, and this, to
some extent, is a pitying regret. Some of them were indignant at the discomfort felt
by the doctors, who could scarcely comprehend such blindness against such clear
evidence as they themselves put forward. If only they had kept the cordons at least
every time until the next proof came that the cholera would be infected, and then
quickly pulled back, then one would still be
The evidence that has been raised against the contagious nature of cholera,
however, is quite unique in nature, and one will be able to prove many things that
have not been thought of until now, eg. B. that it is quite unnecessary to close
windows and doors from thieves; for if one leaves windows and doors open a
hundred times without a thief coming in, and another time breaking a locked door,
does not it follow that a thief can enter the closed doors as well as open doors? Just
think how fruitful the principle is, of the fact that something has often not happened,
to be able to prove in the future that it has never happened, and that it has been able
to prove the real cases by doing so. Quite the same foolishness, as to claim that
cholera is infected, it will be in the future, if one says that a light is on, and one has to
be careful with it in order not to provoke a conflagration; For if stones, water, and wet
wood have not been brought into contact with light, as men have ever come with
cholera patients, without these substances being infected by it, why should curtains or
powder be infected by it? If only one had known all that, how carefree and
comfortable would life be, because then one would not have to worry about
anything. why should curtains or powder be infected by it? If only one had known all
that, how carefree and comfortable would life be, because then one would not have to
worry about anything. why should curtains or powder be infected by it? If only one
had known all that, how carefree and comfortable would life be, because then one
would not have to worry about anything.
Even theories about the seat and the next cause of the disease are already present in
pleasing variety and variety. According to the composition, they were finally
transferred to the nervous system, the blood system, the skin system, the intestinal
system and, in the nervous system, to the vagus nerve , the spinal nerves,
the sympathetic nerve, the ganglia of the abdomen; one considers it to be an
intermittent fever, the other to be a freak fever, the third to be typhus, the fourth to
epilepsy, the fifth to asphyxia, the sixth to colic, the seventh to dysentery, the eighth
to catarrh, the ninth to rash tenth for magnetism, the eleventh for a louse, the twelfth
for a poison, the thirteenth for a sin, the fourteenth for charcoal. According to one, its
essence is due to inflammation, and not to inflammation after the other; to the one,
there is diminished activity of the abdominal nerves and viscera, after the one cramp,
after the other paralysis, after the third polarization of the nerves next cause of the
disease. What should be missing from possible theories, is the pursuit of the disease,
it should take some time, It would undoubtedly still provoke, and it would therefore
certainly accelerate the advances of medicine, if all the possible cholera-theories were
sold in addition to all possible cholera-remedies, so that each doctor could choose the
decent one, and not, perhaps anyway all hands and feet are busy, even the head would
have to make an own. I, myself, having quite a theoretical ingenuity, quite gladly
have the merit of assisting others here by keeping my name in silence, and of
anybody who wishes to propose his own to a theory to design one he has only to
order, such as he wishes her. I give him the freedom to determine his favorite system
of choice, to which he intends to have misplaced the disease; I want her, if he
asks, equal to a bone disease or to a disease of the hair; but especially I invite the
surgeons, who so far have earned so little in the cholera, to turn to me, for I want
them for a trapped break or a bowel abscess or afistula anito explain at will; In short
one only determine, I can do everything, I prove everything, after I have learned by
carefully collecting and comparing the theories and their proofs, as they have hitherto
been set up, how one has to go about doing so. I can do it all the better, as I have
never treated or treated a case of cholera, I will practically not care about them, and
thus hover all the more freely in the blue sky of theory over the fields and meadows
of cholera, in which the people, who instead of the theoretical wings have only
practical arms and legs, laboriously work their way through, without ever being able
to gain a comprehensive overview of it. Just like a famous dressmaker, I will stand
before the illness from afar with the lorgnette, and you, without touching them only
with the finger, making a skirt after the latest mole by the mere circumference, yes, if
the skirt is not yet fashionable, I want to make it so beautiful that it should become
fashion; and of all this I will leave the glory to others; For each theory that I design
for another, I require at most as much as for a written dissertation. Even more, I also
leave it to order how long the theory should be, whether it is a line or a book, whether
it should be simple, profound, learned, not to understand, and I want to be heavy
despite it seems, after all that has already been said about cholera, to say something
new or sublime about it, but to do so much with the help of some natural philosophy
that even the
However, someone who envied me could argue to me that I must at least observe
the disease before I can judge it; But this must not be enough for me to glorify rather
than blame, if, instead of through my own eyes, -what was no art-I can recognize the
inner nature of the disease by means of a telegraphic-optical application of foreign
eyes. And how many of those who have so far developed theories about cholera
have they seen? Introspection is indeed, nowhere more badly used than in the design
of a theory; For there is always only one view, which then asserts itself sometimes
against our will and prevents it from being looked around freely, while one is never at
a loss when a rag to a theory should be missing somewhere in the large store of
foreign observations To find substance to it. Many doctors, who are even concerned
with theories, have already finished their system and their next cause for all cases, so
that when an illness now appears, they only need to move into the furnished
apartment and the difficulty not both in it lies in finding the theory for the disease
rather than adapting it to the theory, a difficulty which, however, is generally not very
great; for, as man is a fine stringed instrument, where, when a string trembles, all the
fibers are trembling at the same time, one can indeed lay the origin of the vibration
itself in any wood fiber of the soundboard, without fear of refuting it; for who sees
the hand that beats the string, and therefore can prove that it does not shake itself?
In general, after all, it is found that most people place cholera in the nervous
system, and indeed in that part of it called the ganglion system, which for medicine is
a kind of dark sack in which it throws together all the diseases with which it does not
yet she knows why she is. Then ask someone: what is the disease? So one replies: she
is in the dark sack, and as no one yet knows what is going on in it, people can tell the
fairer tales of it to people, and there are children who think they are at face value; nor
can they be disproved in any way, since one knows just as little as it does not. By the
way, every science has such a bag in which it throws all its dark things, and it is very
clever that they, which, after all, is supposed to be nothing dark, and which uses what
was supposed to be the lantern of science, philosophy is the absolute, aesthetics the
idea; for when the people see the lantern and something in it flickering, surely it
surely thinks, there is light in it, especially when the scholars stand before it and say:
I see; because then who sees nothing, just think, he himself is blind, or have
hismembrana pupillaris not yet blown up.

Eighth chapter.

I am sorry to say that if the allopaths - for the time being only talked about them -
are taking advantage of cholera as important as I have indicated, homoeopaths should
be rather empty. First of all the patients always go over to the homoeopathic medicine
of the infinitesimal, after they have already gone through the whole allopathic course
of finite means, just as in mathematics one must first understand the whole theorems
of finite theory of size, before one becomes one of the Infinitely small turns; and so
the allopaths always draw the fat from the disease, while the homoeopath remains
only the sentence; yes, like Paul in relation to Christianity, almost all who now went
through purgatory for it, that homeopathy is the only way to eternal life, formerly her
most avid pursuers and diminutive, until she was suddenly converted by an
intervening delusion or miracle she performed. However, such delusions or miracles
or whimsical delusions are now commonplace, and it can hardly be surprising if
many whose stomach has been weighed down by allopathy for years with ounces or
pounds feel relieved and confident in a method that has that burden turned into a
Trilliontel-Gran. Moreover, homeopathy has its 2 to 3 reasons to speak for it; but not
that she has so much, but that she no longer has her own, is her advantage. For the
number of people attached to a cause of such indestructible faith, the fewer reasons
therefor, is not small, and among them are all women, who have therefore always
become the most zealous advocates of homeopathy, as soon as it has once succeeded
in captivating their faith. Against every reason there is a counter-argument, against
each proof a proof to the contrary, but not against the faith. Reasons are sand, from
which one wants to glue a rock together, but faith is equal to the rock itself, and on
this Hahnemann has wisely built his nest. However, those few reasons are not to be
despised. It is true that a trillion-pound grain does not weigh much, but who would
say that an ounce of water, if it has been spiritualized by dispersion, can not drive a
machine, because even a hundredweight machine only burdened, rather than
driving, if it is still as dense water in the cauldron. The efficacy of an agent might
indeed be in its matter, like the gas in the balloon, so that it would only rise more and
more with the thinning of the envelope, and would not be thought foolish, because it
is the gas held together by the shell Ascending sees, now instead of
Goldschlägerhäutchen thick leather takes to strengthen their strength. These are, of
course, highly indefinite, non-proof analogies that may fit like a fist in the eye, but
are the counterparts of a different nature? One never calculates how little a decilitre-
gram is, for that one has not yet learned the calculation, but always how little it
weighs, because one is just fine with his rule triad; and one believes to have proved
enough when one says: a bottle of wine makes people drunk, a half makes him funny,
he does not feel a thimble, so it is already a Gran and the more so a trillion-pound
wine for nothing to watch; but the conclusion is not true; for if he goes into the cellar
and taps wine, he may only draw in a few grains of wine by the nose and become
drunker of it, as if he had drunk a glass of wine; But does not break, if one takes away
this step, now the whole conclusion the leg? Why does it have to make a difference in
the effect of whether the dilution is done with water or with air? Also, if you want to
compare masses to masses, a trillionth of a grain of distributed matter is still more
than a trillionth of a grain of light, which is able to shed light on a whole crystal and
is able to do so much as the quantity of distributed musk brought into the nose of a
sensitive lady to cause fainting; but why should only the nose of the human being be
hysterical, since its solar network extends much more polyp arms, which react to the
finest stimuli. So as long as ladies who can not be repulsed with ten pounds of force
fall over from trillion-gram musk, or get vapeurs, the allopaths do not seem to blame
me, when they have such a good opportunity, when they offer the smallest doses, to
be funny because they are so seldom subjects in jokes anyway; but these jokes seem
to me not to pierce all those old protective walls of homeopathy from musk as well as
bullets, as if running down water drops on a smooth wall; how, indeed, all the proof
that homeopathy is silly, more from the consciousness that it is when consciousness
has emerged from the proofs; Nor has anyone been able to persuade a man who,
when there was still a pharmacy in his womb, was always ill, and by a trillion-pound
grain he became well, that he had previously become healthy and afterwards
sick; because a whole pharmacy would necessarily need to help more than one
trillionth of a grain. It would therefore seem much more appropriate if, instead of all
the evidence that homeopathy could do nothing, the allopaths confined themselves to
the only proof that it did not help; but for what first prove a thing that you already
know, or that you just need to deny. To be sure, there is sometimes no lack of such
evidence; for how many people do not exist who have treated homeopathy in vain, or
on how many circumstances other than the pachyderm one can postpone healing
when it has occurred; but what happens to allopathy if you want to accept such
evidence?
 However, if a matter has not yet been refuted, it is not true; yes, perhaps not even
probable, and one must confess that Hahnemann has put on the crooked and dry
thighs of a few perhaps very squinting facts such a thick shapeless body as a body,
that one can hardly persuade himself that he naturally grew from it and can get on
it; At first, too, most people consider him a ridiculous blind monster who merely
raises his clumsy fist in order to beat it into the sensible sight of allopathy until, after
years of circumspection, they realize that it is licked by one hundred tongues and one
hundred hands basically a much larger Fitzliputzli with a hundred colorful rags,
medals and ornaments trimmed allopathy, but, of course, because he belongs to the
country's religion, he must be worshiped by anyone who does not want to be
banished or burned; and what is more natural than that the patient thinks: if allopathy
knew wisdom by heart and folly inside, it might be the other way around with
homeopathy?
To reach this point now the patient has perfect in his chronic evils Time; Here he is
actually slowly prepared by the allopath for the homeopath, and homeopaths should
not complain so much that their remedies often do not produce fruit, because the
patient is already spoiled by allopathy; rather, this would just be the most common
reason for their effectiveness, just as a leather only after it is properly tanned by just
hanging it in the air is good. In cholera, unfortunately, the patient is dead a few years
earlier than it comes to, and so homeopathy comes to every opportunity for its
effectiveness; for even though Hahnemann, as he claims, should have really
awakened medicine from the deadly sleep, so far he has not been able to raise a man
from death; and he can do nothing but regret the countless sacrifices
If homeopathy in cholera has not been able to acquire the confidence of the patient,
it certainly does not seem to have found the means to do so, but still remains with
its materia medicaas if to wink at a bad flint without being able to elicit the spark of
the right specific against the cholera. In fact, in so many homoeopaths scattered in
Russia and Austria, where cholera patients may well have been associated with them,
little has been heard of their accomplishments, although occasionally a single
homoeopathic voice has penetrated in vain, owing to the fiddling and swelling of the
allopaths and tried to assert the patient who did not die. Even camphor and copper,
which the great father of homeopathy has bestowed upon his disciples and the whole
human race with rare disinterestedness, have hitherto been unable to give respect to
cholera. However, perhaps this is just because they are gifted funds, to which one can
understandably make no extraordinary claims; for, as is well known, Hahnemann
allows himself to be paid dearly enough for his secret miracle-drugs; and it should
astonish me with the acknowledged wisdom of it, if he threw away a really effective
means in such a way: it would be just as if the Jew at the time of the emergency,
where he can get paid the most expensive, on the grain Gasse poured so everyone
could fill his sack with it at will, while he did not even have to fill his sack. On the
contrary, I believe that this is once again an opportunity to admire Hahnemann's great
practical tact, as he always misses from time to time some waste of his science as bait
for his followers, as a red rag to his adversaries, against whom they never
miss . thrown so that we should not forget that he is still alive and still the great
Hahnemann; for which reason he always arranges his communications in such a way
that they appear as absurd as possible, so that his followers will find the greater
profundity, and his opponents the more likely to fall upon him; because that makes
the noise bigger; He also rightly judges that a call which he has founded through
whimsical principles can only rise by unbelievable things which he afterwards sets
upon it; and really, never do any of the most brilliant ideas in Hahnemann's mouth
take on so naturally that no one is more astonished by it; while some find them
perfectly grounded in the inner, whimsical nature of things in the inner, now suddenly
lighted up by his spirit, the others themselves in Hahnemann's inwardly marvelous
nature.
In this way he does, after all, that his adversaries, who heartily despise and ignore
him all at the bottom of their souls, nevertheless become the contradictio in
adjectocause this contempt and ignorance to be reiterated against him. Incidentally, if
the allopaths did not confidently hope that their Elba, where they had succeeded in
eliminating them by strong cooperation, would at the same time be Helena without
the intermediate catastrophe, they would certainly observe all his movements just as
attentively as they did the prince happened to a man of even greater size; because he
enriches the medicine with all sorts of curiosities, one can possibly admit; but should
he ever return and conquer the patients of Leipzig again, a new conspiracy of all that
potentate would not fail to drive him out soon; because every doctor keeps his sick
under his wings like a hen and complete rest will, of course, only occur in the
allopathic Hühnerhofe when the bird of prey Hahnemann no longer hovers over the
heads. One thinks with the small butt birds, his disciples, to get ready sooner. These
are shot down with the pellets of some jokes, or they are caught in the snares of the
exam, or the tendons of self-dispensing are cut in their wings, and compelled them to
eat with the other doctors from the same smelly bowls of the pharmacies, so that they
at the disgust they have against it, wither away completely. But with Hahnemann, all
these remedies are not caught, for he has a skin that is too thick for Schrote, and when
he wanted to prune his wings and dip his nose into the same bowl with the others, he
flew away and now rushes from afar with wings of letters to the patients of
others; Therefore, I would strongly advise the allopaths, so that their efforts have not
been in vain, to set a veto against his letters, which as a rule are only disguised
powders that mate over the cordon of allopathy; because what would be the benefits
of having a wicked spirit expelled through a door as it returns through 100 loopholes.
Unfortunately, if the homoeopaths can not derive any great material advantages
from cholera, they can not even gain a similar scientific benefit from them as the
allopaths. Since Minerva sprang from Zeus' head, her art offers the only example in
the world of a thing that has been born and developed fully developed and developed,
and is no longer capable of improvement, while all other things are slowly
developing and after unspeakable efforts, thoughts and aspirations of many editors
not only reach the goal, but approach it more and more. Hahnemann was the only
happy man who seized his science at the end rather than at the beginning. I do not
want to say that that homeopathy can no longer grow extensively; on the
contrary; but she does not grow like a child, but like a tapeworm, by her ownMateria
medica externally one limb to the other; and it is only to be made sure that the whole
tapeworm will leave once Hahnemann, her head-link, has been aborted. In any case,
it is commendable that the homeopaths of her art seek to preserve the great simplicity
with which she has come to light through him. While for allopathy science is an
ariadne thread that leads into and leads through the labyrinth, homeopathy considers
it much more expedient than one that leads out, and therefore prefers to stand before
the labyrinth without going in, giving it the great advantage has attained that it is
accessible even to the most ignorant. Yes, even to whom his allopathic knowledge,
anatomy, physiology, pathology and therapy acquired a little earlier, To be angry in
the memory, it can give up if he wants to follow homeopathy; and so we see what is
shown in the Bible as so difficult, indeed almost impossible, to be done on a daily
basis, that allopathic youth equipped with all the riches of knowledge leave
everything and follow the new master into his voluntary poverty. Of course, the
homeopath still needs an infinitely larger van than the Allopath; but when he converts
himself to homeopathy, instead of the goat, which traversed him through his cross
and transverse leaps through thick and thin, the reason he now lets go, wherever he
wants, becomes the possession of a large, uniformly trotting camel. that brings him
all this burden, the homeopathic remedy axon, come so that he can get what he needs
right now
It is therefore indisputable that homoeopaths would be most stupid if, by these
acknowledged advantages of their art or science, or whatever one intends to call the
thing - for it is fundamentally a new being - an advance in cholera through new
experiences or views to whom this occasion might give, sought to obtain; as they
progressed they would only have to run after themselves; yes, it is so much to get,
that the already on the border standing homeopathy at the next kick, which they
wanted to try to do forward, would fall into the abyss, that it is therefore appropriate
for them, turn the sun and planets, years come and go, to let new earth revolutions be
completed, but to stay on the old spots and rather to balance on one leg with difficulty
than the second, and if it had already been made to progress, to really sit down. Each
homeopath should therefore write the motto in the stud book to the other:
Splintering rocks, breaking marble,
homeopathy, that does not move;
since, in fact, nothing has to move forward on her, as the growing belly of
her materia medica.
The discussed uselessness of cholera for homeopathy, by the way, would not be a
reason for the fact that it did not benefit the homoeopath; for, besides the cow of
homeopathy, they can still hold the donkey of allopathy - even if they consider him
nothing but one - or, as they say, drive, seeing that he still gives milk. After all, one
does not buy his medical knowledge like an estate in order to make a pleasant park
out of it, or make observations on nature, but in order to cultivate it properly, and of
course one, as one or the other product gets better or to grow the other, or preferably
both, to be sure in every case of the paragraph. Most, The transition from allopathy to
homeopathy - for the reverse transition takes place almost seltner than the transition
from Catholicism to Protestantism - is indisputably lacking in the fact that they
immediately throw away the first, which is basically as foolish as if one has two
kinds of government paper and throws away what he hopes to win the least. It is,
however, a peculiar phenomenon that everyone, with the insight that homeopathy
nourishes him better than allopathy, immediately gains the insight that he is more true
than she; On the other hand, of course, nothing more natural than that homeopathic
bread turns into homeopathic ideas, and these into a homeopathic song. But this one-
sidedness will hurt most people. When you see a cat catching mice, and a dog
hare, and yet they are tied together with their tails, because otherwise they can not
tolerate each other, so that they can release one or the other at will. Both sciences,
like the two compatible heads of Janus, have not grown on a hull, so do it like the
clever surgeon who, with an artificial exulceration, tethered his two children with
their backs to one another, and thereby made much money; Of course, no one can
really move any more, but if they only bring in quite a lot, then it does not matter
how they bring it in. If one wanted to stretch oneself in the medicine to the cover of
the science, one would have to lie very crooked at all; for the thousands of looms of
the time do not seem to have much to do with the promotion of the same
If, then, homeopaths do not deserve cholera, they owe it only to their own
obstinacy. It gives them the full soup plate as well as the allopathen, but they do not
want to eat the soup with forks, because otherwise they would be better off eating the
meat with it than with spoons. Whoever wants to dine well and in abundance must
keep to all the tools with which he can bring something to the mouth, and it will be
seen that they will not be the worst in cholera following this useful rule.

Ninth chapter.

Let's leave the doctors, after showing how much they owe or owe to cholera, and
finally, in a few words, discuss the upswing that literature has taken through
cholera. It has been a long time since people no longer knew what to write; already
there are more books than things, so that there was nothing left for the new books to
describe or write off the old books, as human beings or rats, when they have
devoured everything around themselves, now accrue to each other. The whole world
is now pictured, described, translated, annotated, proven and disproven, improved
and reissued in books, so that one thing can now easily specify 100 places where it is
written than where it stands. At most such things which have never been, like the
dreams of the poets and philosophers, can now provide material for new books; but
literature can not live on mere air.
In the famine of books for things, it is no wonder that most of them, as they are
born too frugal, are almost dying, when they have seen the light; for the books to
which the new book owed its origin were perhaps even in distress and misery. But all
the new fresh object that presents itself must be all the more welcome; neither does it
matter what it is; for a famine feeds rats, mice and spiders as delicacies; enough it is a
new thing. Happy the book finding the new thing first; but scarcely has it time to
become full of it, so a second, third, hundredth book crashes already; one sees the
thing before the books, which are searching for their etching, and soon no
longer. They crowd aside, pull the thing out of their hands,
Such a new thing is because now the cholera. The number of books that owe their
origin, is now rising more than 200 1) , and more appear every day one or two new
indispensable books; for every one already bears his justification in appearing that eo
ipsothat it appears, all its predecessors become obsolete. The books are created from
each other according to the Einschachtelungstheorie and as a new from the earlier
crept out, these are only considered empty shells. One now sees in a book that one
wants to buy, according to the year, as one sees after the teeth of a horse, and it is
only in this way that the culture of books, advancing on books, knows how to keep it
fresh. A new book may therefore be much worse than the old one from which it
originated, because before it it has the advantage of novelty. Thus cholera books are
becoming ever more new and sometimes even worse, if only because every later
book carefully collects not only the follies that are in all the earliest times, but also
adds some self-designed, so that the book is a source, by which one now understands
a book, from which again make new books. But it is important to give this name to a
book; because the books are not bought by people who deal with the things they
contain, because they already know that some experience and practice is more useful
than all books, but only of people who want to write about the same thing again, so
every book must at least bring something that is not found in any other
source; neither does it matter whether the new is wisdom or folly, though the latter
may be even better; for the folly in the old book gives a longer quotation in the new
book, since one can immediately make a refutation
1)note. to the second edition By the end of the year 1832, this number had
increased to 621, which are listed in the Radius cholera newspaper.

As for the public, however, this is very grateful for the help that the Legion offers
cholera books from all sides, it also buys it to its forces, and it is certainly some who
regrets painfully that his fortune is not sufficient to acquire all. However, it might
soon be calling: Lord, stop blessing! It is common knowledge that he feels like a
troubled country, which has called against a bad enemy auxiliaries, against which it
later no longer knows how to help, when they flood the land and the old enemy still
sits next to it; for the cholera books are like carrionflies, which only came under the
pretext of eating the carrion, where every means was employed to multiply these
useful creatures; the latter has now succeeded admirably; but the carrion has become
all the more stinking, and the flies can no longer be warded off; because the cholera
books are buzzing in front of the eyes and ears. It is also certain that the public did
not need so many books as are written against cholera; it would have been enough for
one, even if none were written about it, so it would perhaps be no misfortune; but the
booksellers need so many books, but the writers need so many books. The audience
has a good talk: a book can be read by all, but it can not be a book published by 600

book contains some special imagination of the author, a hypothesis, a salubrious
bathing; In fact, cholera is usually just the vehicle to bring these ingredients of the
author, who also wants to be known as a thinking and writing man to bring under
people, and only because the light goods would not fly far, if the author he wanted to
throw himself under the public for himself, he always wraps the old Cholerastein,
which is still undigested as yet to beginnings, into it. But is not this an excellent
characteristic of the new writers, that rather than admitting to the buyers in a solid
matter, as the merchants do, they vice versa.
In any case, if the audience wins the cholera books or not, the enrichment which
the pouch of the literature, the catalog of measurements, receives from it, can not be
denied. It covers a failure that would otherwise result in many dead interests, and in
this respect competes with politics, as it measures itself in reality and intervenes in its
operations. If a cholera book does not read as pleasantly as a novel in which people
die instead of vomiting and diarrhea, but rather of poison, dagger and love, or if they
kill themselves by secret cunning and intrigues, then those writings are all the more
truthful, and since unity and truth are the first requirements of poetry, not utility, I
conclude that the cholera books, who all have the sole purpose of enriching writers
and booksellers, but otherwise make no use of them, even the greatest works of art of
poetry are; Since, with all the abundance of poets, the lack of poetry is at last the
fundamental evil of our age, I hope, with this last proof, that I have decided to
conclude that cholera will raise the fundamental evil of our age.
