by nature of a function which

There is very little difference
between the eating Of a microbe
by an amoeba in a watery medium
and by white corpuscle in your
blood.
1t is not only your white cor.
puscles that eat bacteria, but also
the much larger wandering cells
of the kind that repair disease
and injury. In this way your
cells, which are evolved from the
most primitive connective tissue
cells, carry both the work of
repair from injury and the defense
against microbic invasion.
You, like other higher animals,
have, however, evolved another
means of protection without the
direct Intervention of these cells.

them beyond their observed effects
upon the microbes, and nothing
will be known except by the help
of modern colloidal chemistry.
One thing about them, however,
is very interesting. The antagon.
