nothing about the complicated and the delicate system that runs all through
the nature, which means that, as in a life body, an unhealthy condition of one part【S4】_________
will sooner or later be harmful to all others.【S5】_________

brought in any quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction and river floods
were not national problems; nobody had already studied long-term climate cycles【S7】_________

meaning that it has for us today.
