some preparation may be found which
will render constant efficient aid to the
leucocytes and give them such support in
their warfare that the invading hosts OF
disease may be conquered completely. 1t
has been noticed by the surgeon that the
leucocyte is always on guard at every
critical point There are no. mountain
passes left unguarded. no wagon trains
left unprotected, no line Of communica-
ton without its proper defense.
AS soon as there is a wound on any part
Of the body, or as soon as any part of the
mucous memberane of the human system
becomes infected, the leucocyteS hasten
there in great numbers and do what they
can to prevent the entrance of infection.
It has been noticed that whenever one is
taken down with a spell of sickness the
supply of white corpuscles becomes COM
paratively small. This means. that the
leuc ocytes have been temporarily routed
and unless they are given human aid the
invading hosts will occupy the battlefield
in triumph and the black flag of death
will be raised in victory. When the stu
dent in the laboratory begins the study
OF the actual forces of life and death in
the human system he enters a realm
where truth is stranger than fiction. HUI
mainly already owes much to him and
has reason to hope that because of him
millions of lives in the future may be
saved from untimely graves.
