Some bacteria produce toxins that are

one time. under certain conditions. pro-
duces mildly active poisons. at another
time. under different conditions. may
produce exceedingly active toxins. The
power Of n bacteriuu to produce dis

It IL evident that viruience depends
upon tho nature Of the bacterium. upon
tho number OF bacteria present and
upon their environment.
Bacteria may produce limited or ex-

produce an abscess. They may enter

bacteria may remain at or near the

aemla. Diphtheria Is such a disease.
All toxins do not disturb all the It's

on the nervous system. Also the toxin

meat. especially bad hmm. sausage or
canned meats. has an affinity for nerve
tissue. Some bacteria affect the red
blood corpuscles. others the white cor

may be said that certain tissues offer
an especially favorable field of action
for certain bacteria or for their prod
ucts for which tissues such germs are
said to have selective action.

Thus far It f. evident that for the
successful treatment OF an infectious,

or both ends together must be sought
the destruction and elimination Of the
bacteria and the neutraIiEing OF the
toxins. How TO do this can be learned
from natures method. which. although
