her husband. Besides, II she's

up with things for her own sake.
"And there's another thing.

TT rs not the blood that bathes all

Lymph" Blood is too thick to
ooze through the walls Of the
tiniest blood vessels, but part Of
the blood does, and this is a pale
straw colored liquid, the lymph.
The function of lymph is to carry
nourishment derived from the
blood TO various parts OF the body
tissues and to take up and carry
away the waste products formed
there.
Although lymph really passes
through blood vessel walls and
distributes itself everywhere in
organs and tissues, 1t must not
be thought that it does so with
out being collected afterwards by
a set of vessels OF its own. In
fact, there is Emphatic system
Of vessels, the same as there is
an arterial system.
The lymphatic vessels are very
delicate, minute and transparent.
They seem to begin everywhere,
80 to speak, unite to form larger
and larger vessels and finally
empty themselves into the blood
stream again, into the veins.
It is necessary, of course, that
lympathetis canals empty into
veins. for the lymph. after bath
ing the tissues, is surcharged
with waste products which must
be carried by the veins to the
lungs to be oxygenated and so
purified.
When lymph accumulates in
the tissues, is dammed-up, as it
were, we have the familiar con-
dition of oedema or ''dropsy.
In these cases, the lymph, be-
cause of its excessive amount.
increases the pressure and often
swells the tissues.
In connection with lymph one
must mention the lymph nodes. "
Non-medical individuals, and
often the doctors themselves,
refer to these lymph nodes as
lymph glands or simply as glands,
As q matter Of fact, however,
they are not glands, inasmuch
as they do not secrete or manu-
facture any fluid.
Lymph nodes have two highly
important functions. First they
act as filters for the lymph
which flows to and through the
node. Secondly, they manufac-
ture the so-called leucocytes or
white blood cells which have
been so aptly described as the
policeman of the blood"
Were it not for lymph nodes,
wa would probably all become
diseased and die long before our
time.
They are the safety valves Of
the body. They arrest and hold
back the spread of infection,
germs and their poisons.

What really happens In such
an instance is that many fresh
leucocytes are manufactured in
the lymph nodes. 1t is these that
attack germ invasion.
Sometimes one lymph node Is
destroyed in such battle. Then
the next in the chain takes up
the struggle.
That explains why sometimes
swollen glands never become re-
duced in size, even after the
source Of infection Il removed.
