, it becomes evident to every one whose cerebral functions are normally performed that there may be, in this matter of bacteria, vastly more than the optical delusions of a microscopist, the im- practical fancies of a pathologist ; more than fat-crystals and fibrin threads. Yet it is understood that there may be no conclusions by analogy. Anthrax and septicaemia may be very similar clinically and anatomically, yet the demonstrated parasitic origin of the one does not prove the same for the othe...r ; arguments of that sort have no place in exact science. The matter must be investigated in the case of each disease independently, precisely as it has been in anthrax a fact which is insisted upon by no one more persistently and emphatically than by Koch to whom, by the way, we are indebted for most of what we now know about the life-history of the bacillus an- thracis. And just here is another of those vital differ* 6; ences which distinguish Koch's work from that of Klebs and of Pasteur. The latter seem to assume the parasitic origin of the infectious diseases, and their deductions are but too often partially based upon such assumption.
