PrincIpls OF fnocuIatiop.

Professor f. Ray Lancaster, iecturing
on the Struggle Ger Life at the London
institution, said that a considerable NUM-
Der of the most fatal disease in man.
oxen and sheep were due TO poisonous
matter produced i'm the blood which wa3
known as bacteria. When this poison
got into the system. the duty OF the
corpu,cles was to 80 for it. and they pro-
ceeded to eat as much as they could; bu.
sometimes they could not attack It at all.
The bacteria was too much for them,
with the result that the bacteria grew,
and very soon proved fatal to the body
in which it existed.
The corpuscles could. however, be edu-
Gated 10 deal with the bacteria, and The
future Of preventive medicines would be
the education of the white blood cor
puscles. The fact that n man, by con-
slant use, could without injury take a
dose of arsenic that would kill six or
binary men was due to the fact that ne
had by weakened doses been educating
and training the white corpuscles. They
could be taught to eat and flourish under
conditions which, if not commenced
gradually, would he destructive to them,
and that was the principle at the base Of
protective incubation. As q preventive
of many fatal diseases in sheep and oxen,
incubation had been remarkably success
full. The corpuscles first received a weak
ened breed or disease by incubation, aud
thus when Q violent attack came they
were ready to receive and dispose Of it.
This education Of the %corpuscles, itseemed
to him, was the explanation Of the sue
cess of vaccination. They received a
weak dose Of the poison from the vac
cine. and were in that way prepared for
a stronger dose in the way Of smallpox.
He believed the white c%orpusclcs. could
be trained to receive the most yirulent
poisons, and he hoped this training would
be carried on so as to deal with u great
number Of diseases.-New York Post.

host.
Senator Morrill, does not look his seventy eight

strongly resembles Mr.. Sumner was heavier type.
Mr.. Mor1lps face IS finer and his features more clear

sentative. Twelve years in the House and twenty
one the Senate give him thirythree years in Con
