cause the beneficent species of mi
crobes called .macrophages' to In
crease too rapidly Then in their turn
they become Injurious.
These parasites flourish In the
large intestine, which mammals pos
sess, whereas in birds it is almost
entirely lacking. The result was
shown in the person OF the doctors

eighteen, while the doctors parrot
aged seventy, appeared to the audi

that senility is an infectious disease
and II should be possible to treat il
like other maladies to cure it or pre-
vent it,
The hope was expressed by DIR
Menchnikoff that a serum would

the "macrophages." and prolong hui
