now; about fermentation; and that; in this way; some of the greatest
scourges which afflict the human race may be; if not prevented; at
least largely alleviated。
This is the conclusion of the statements which I wished to put before
you。 You see we have not been able to have any accessories。 If you
will come in such numbers to hear a lecture of this kind; all I can say
is; that diagrams cannot be made big enough for you; and that it is not
possible to show any experiments illustrative of a lecture on such a
subject as I have to deal with。 Of course my friends the chemists and
physicists are very much better off; because they can not only show you
experiments; but you can smell them and hear them! But in my case such
aids are not attainable; and therefore I have taken a simple subject and
have dealt with it in such a way that I hope you all understand it; at
least so far as I have been able to put it before you in words; and
having once apprehended such of the ideas and simple facts of the case
as it was possible to put before you; you can see for yourselves the
great and wonderful issues of such an apparently homely subject。
