Note two things

Early on thee page he says "No ascending dampness by capillarity, but
consequence of current splash-water, water sucking cement joints" =
rising damp!.

Look at the brick wall in the pool of water. Makes my case that modern
cement is a DPC in itself . Note he has NOT used lime mortar here.

Look at how sodden the brick is UP to the first mortar joint.

It's very easy to pick a few selective quotes. I suggest you read the
rest of the article.
