Abstract
WILL you allow me to ask Dr. Bistian to state in your columns, in reply to this note, the specific gravity of the turn ip infusion, to which a “fragment” of cheese has been added, and which, he states, has rarely failed to give him positive results in his endeavours to obtain evidence of the de now production of living things from dead matter. If Dr. Bistian should be unable to give the specific gravity of the infusion, perhaps he will be so good as to state accurately the weights of water, turnip, and cheese employed. I am, of course, acquainted with the directions he has already given, but wish to avoid any objection from him or others on the score of improper preparation of the infusion to results which I may obtain and publish.
