Applied to industry at large, that principle would give employers altogether too much opportunity...

For lack of any better explanation doctors suppose that influenza, infantile paralysis and many another disease are caused by viruses, substances invisible to the most powerful microscopes. Because such viruses grow and pass diseases on from one creature to another, doctors suppose further that all viruses are living substances...
