THE CURE FOR ALL DISEASES
I use ½ oz amber glass bottles with bakelite caps (see
Sources) to hold specimens. However, plastic bags or other
containers would suffice. After closing, each bottle is sealed
with a ParafilmTM strip to avoid accidental loosening of the cap.
You may use masking tape.
To make a specimen of skin, use hangnail bits and skin
peeled from a callous, not a wart. A few shreds will do. Re-
member, they must be very close to the test plate when in use;
add 2 tsp. filtered water and ¼ tsp. grain alcohol.
Making a Complete Set of Tissue Samples...........................
My original complete set was made from a frozen fish. As it
thawed, different organs were cut away and small pieces placed
in bottles for preserving in filtered water and grain alcohol. In
this way, organs not available from the grocery store could be
obtained. The piece of intestine closest to the anus corresponds
to our colon, the part closest to the stomach corresponds to our
duodenum. The 2 layers of the stomach and different layers of the
eye, the optic nerve and spinal cord were obtained this way.
Another complete set of tissue samples were obtained from a
freshly killed steer at a slaughter house. In this way the 4
chambers of the heart were obtained, the lung, trachea, aorta,
vein, pancreas, and so forth.
Purchasing a Complete Set of Tissue Samples.....................
Slides of tissues, unstained or stained in a variety of ways for
microscope study give identical results to the preparations made
by yourself in the ways already described. This fact opens the
entire catalog of tissue types for your further study. See Sources
for places that supply them.
