Or. Fralick. in explaining the action OF
the fluid. said that germs could not live
in normal blood. Upon this proposition he
began his experimental work He sought
a fluid which would combine all the prop

agent.
After many years OF experiment he said
he believed he had discovered
such solution. and that when IL was
poured into the blood the disease germs
are destroyed and all Objectionable or
ganisms with which IL comes in contact
are disintegrated. The blood is enriched
and the system rendered impregnable 10
