Salvation particular

Wilhelm Heinrich Schussler was a German author of books on homoeopathy. Ayton may have read C. Hering, The Twelve Tissue Remedies of Dr Schussler (1874). Occultists were particularly identified with homoeopathic remedies at that time. During the 1890s the membership of the Golden Dawn included at least half a dozen qualified physicians who were homoeopaths. The Schussler remedies are still available. See Dr G. W. Carey and I. E. Perry, The Zodiac and the Salts of Salvation (an American publication, 2nd revised edition 1948 the salts were Schussler s) and The Biochemic Handbook, revised by Colin B. Lessell (Thorsons Publishers Ltd, 1984). 

By 1970 Du Font s senior managers, having appreciated the limits of their corporate capabilities for new-product development, redefined the role of corporate R D in their industry, as they had lost their strong faith that research, particularly fundamental research, would be the salvation of the company. They now understood that the postwar product-specific technical, functional, and managerial capabilities developed in the several operating departments clearly served as a more reliable source for the improvement and commercializing of new products and processes than did basic research or even centrally planned, related-product diversification into new markets. 

Perhaps the best way to understand the mythical character of certain beliefs is to examine their history. Why did medieval man choose to believe in witchcraft and seek the amelioration of his society in the compulsory salvation of witches Why does modem man choose to believe in the myth of mental illness and seek the amelioration of his society in the compulsory treatment of mental patients In each of these mass movements we are faced with two interlocking phenomena a guiding myth (of witchcraft and of mental illness), and a powerful social institution (the Inquisition and Institutional Psychiatry) the former provides the ideological justification, the latter, the practical means for social action. Much of what I have said so far in this book, and particularly in Chapter 4, was an effort to answer the questions posed above. Since, in the discussion heretofore, my emphasis has been on institutional practices rather than on ideological (mythological) justifications, I shall concentrate, in this chapter, on what men believe and the imagery they use to express their belief, rather than on what they ostensibly seek and the means they employ to achieve it. 

Plasticizers are liquid, neutral substances. Particularly, the salvation and swelling power of plasticizers are used in plastics during processing. 

This paper looks at two asylum sites in order to explore ideas of madness and landscape in colonial Melbourne, particularly in regard to ambivalent ideas about the power of landscape to both induce and cure madness. This is framed within a colonial context and examines the influence of essentially European ideas of land use and garden in forming Australian sites. Of particular interest is the perception that the land itself, that is the experience of Australia, produced its own form of madness. In this sense, the land can be conceived of as an ambivalent agent in the asylum experience, as representing both menace and salvation.
