Ubi tempestas et caeli mobilis humor. `They are carried up to the heavens, and down again to the deep. `Gurgitibus miris et lactis vertice torrens. `Their soul melteth away because of their troubles. `Stant pavidi. Omnibus ignoiae mortis timor, omnibus hostem. `They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man."

Hinc pari ludo comparent speciosae puellae ducere semitas et choreas, nobili gestu nobilissimum ferre poculum lactis equarum in aureis vasis, de quo, ponentes se in genibus, tradunt potum dominis et dominabus.

There was the bacillus anthracis; there was the micrococcus; there was the Bacterium termo, and the Bacterium lactis that's what turns the goat milk sour even to this day, Hare-Lip; and there were Schizomycetes without end. And there were many others...."

Shortly after the flies had some mouldy cream, the Oidium lactis was found in their fæces. Dr. Grassi mentions an innocuous and yet conclusive experiment that every one can try. Sprinkle a little lycopodium on sweetened water, and afterward examine the fæces and intestines of the flies; numerous spores will be found.

In the same way, various forms of bacteria have the power of breaking down complex bodies in their immediate neighborhood, the products depending upon the substance, the kind of bacteria, and the conditions under which they act. Thus the bacteria lactis act upon the milk sugar present in milk, and convert it into lactic acid, thus bringing about the souring of milk.
