of the chicken which, when chilled, contracted anthrax.
A microbe may be harmless for the species which carries
it, and may not be so for others, the resistance of which
is not organized in the same fashion. It will be under-
stood that it may be fatal to the young animal, whose
phagocytes are not inured, that it may develop where
the phagocytes are not numerous, and not where it
finds them in great numbers and better trained, etc.
And all this happens through the intermediary of cel-
lular secretions, that is to say through physico-chemical
agencies. It is evident that Claude Bernard and the
physiologists who feared to see Pasteur re-introduce into
science the idea of life as a hidden cause had in him
not an enemy of their doctrines, but a powerful ally.
We see also that the physicians were right in treating
him as a chemist. They were wrong only in pronouncing
this name with a disdainful air. With Pasteur chemistry
took possession of medicine and we can foresee that it
will not relinquish its hold.
