Book Description
This book presents a collection of lectures on the topic of auto-intoxication, or self-poisoning, in relation to disease. The authors explore the various ways in which the body can accumulate harmful substances, including those produced by the bacteria in our gut, and how this can contribute to a range of health problems. They also discuss possible treatments and prevention strategies. This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it. This work is in the "public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations. Within the United States, you may freely copy and distribute this work, as no entity (individual or corporate) has a copyright on the body of the work. Scholars believe, and we concur, that this work is important enough to be preserved, reproduced, and made generally available to the public.

Book Description
Excerpt from Lectures on Auto-Intoxication in Disease: Or Self-Poisoning of the Individual It was to these substances that the Italian toxicologist, Selmi, gave the name of ptomaines, - by which is meant chemical compounds basic in character, and formed by the action of bacteria upon organic matter. It is owing to these basic properties and their resemblance to vegetable alkaloids that ptomaines are sometimes spoken of as putrefactive or vegetable alkaloids, - the term leucomaines, or animal alkaloids, being reserved for those basic substances resulting from tissue metabolism in the body. Without discussing the question as to whether ptomaines are poisonous or not, - for Bouchard in these pages confines himself rather to the general action of animal poisons than to a designation of them, - it is sufficient to state that all ptomaines are not poisonous. Some are quite inert. Brieger restricts the term ptomaine to the non-poisonous basic products, whilst those that are poisonous he calls "toxins." Ptomaines contain nitrogen, and in this respect the resemble vegetable alkaloids. Many of them contain oxygen, whilst in others this is awanting. The one invariable circumstance surrounding the development of ptomaines is the part played by bacteria. As ptomaines owe their development to the activity of micro-organisms it must follow that the alkaloid formed will depend upon the peculiar bacterium present, the nature of the material acted upon, the conditions under which putrefaction goes on, and probably, too, upon the health of the individual in whose body the putrefactive processes are taking place. It has frequently been demonstrated how the nature of the soil alters the character of the micro-organisms that have flourished upon it. Temperature exercises its own peculiar influence. Some bacteria, too, require oxygen, whilst others are capable of thriving apart from it. Thus it was that Pasteur divided bacteria into two classes, - the aerobic and the anaerobic. When putrefaction occurs in the presence of air, the ptomaines formed naturally differ from those produced under conditions from which air is largely excluded. At all times they are extremely subtle.
