Author, Article, and Disclosure InformationAffiliations: Pathological Laboratories University of Michigan Ann Arbor*Address given before the Joint Meeting of the American College of Physicians and the St. Louis Medical Society, February 19, 1924, St. Louis, Missouri.

A later publication bringing the writer's material and views up to the present time will be published elsewhere.
