TO LENGTHEN LIFE.
DR.. Metchnikoff's Theory as to the Pre-
venton of Disease.


The Investigation Of Or MetchnikoT Of
the Idstcur institute at Paris with
serum, which has been made to appear as
an alleged means of checking scnility
through the mistaken conceptions of rep
rescntatives Of American newspapers sta
toned at Paris are creating not a little
interest in the scientific world. Tho theory
Of DR.. Metchnilioff. given crudely is that
among the cells Of the blood known as
rcd cells are certain otncr larger cells
which have the power Of movement These
appear to surround bacteria which have
entered the body, and it is along the line
OF the action of these coils upon the hac-
tcria that the Investigations of the Paris
scientist are pursued. His theory Is not
that life may be indefinitely prolonged but
tina by the stimulation Of these cells. which
are thought to surround and absorb ba
CHI, the action of disease may be pre-
vented. This, II will easily be seen, Is a
most important line of Investigation If Ill
timately successfully pursued and develop
ed to practical usage
When in Europe recently DR.. J. RI. T.ins-
ley director of the State Laboratory of
HNEicne, met DIR. MetChnikur and dis
