Sir Frederick Treves, in an address

subject Of disease. promulgated what
appears to be a startling paradox, that
disease, instead of being as is generally
supposed, malignant IS really benevo-

it ought to be stamped out with re-

Sir FREDERICK the motive Of disease is
benevolent and protective. If Il were
not for disease he said, the human race
would soon be extinct.
The lecturer took examples such as

be initiated rather than hindered.

striking OF these experiments were

This same process may be continued
with precisely ike result until the

phenomenon is explained in part by the
two sets of muscular fibers in the
worm. one longitudinal, causing the
lsquirming and jerking, and the other
lcrcular which produce the crawling.
why i'm the posterior segments the
former set should be stimulated and in
the anterior the latter set Professor
