As medicine advanced. he said, the meth od of treatment of the human body was changing from attempted cure of ills to prevention thereof. A con- crete example was the use of anti toxin in the army. The theory of in nocu1ation had been proved success full, but it's necessity decried with the result that it was not compulsory in the English army, although used to a great extent.
