  will often not find a single trace of life。

  that all these appearances are like the case of the worms in the piece
  of meat; which was refuted by Redi; simply germs carried by the air and
  deposited in the liquids in which they afterwards appear。  For my own

  method to which I have referred; remote as that possibility may be。

  which I have endeavoured to give some rough and ready
  illustrations; must read Mr。 John Stuart Mill's 'System of
  Logic'。
