Of medicine owes so much at this time,

Ing him, as they do, against other microbes
which are unquestionably injurious. And
even more interesting than this IL tho dis

that the minute cells In human blood which
physicians call white oorpuscles," and
which he has named "phsgocytes. are
most powerful and effective enemies to the
