Hey, back when the book was written - in 1898 - medical science was even more primitive than it is now, so back then the deus ex machina made a hell of a lot of sense. Given what we know about the behaviour of viruses now, it doesn't fly these days, naturally. Bacteria's a different story... but if I was up to snuff on the science I'd be one of those labcoat homies, as opposed to a pencil-jockie. <3
