    PT. Ill render efficient help ; modifications in the vessel-walls and blood-stream are valuable auxiliaries. Diverse processes are employed, now one more particularly, now another, according to the needs of the moment, but none ex- clusively. So diverse are the opinions of pathologists upon many branches of this subject of infiammation, and so great is the amount of recent research, that I can neither hope that all the conclusions here set down will gain acceptance, nor that in these pages, inevitably condensed as they are, 1 have succeeded in recognising and duly acknowledging all work of primary importance. In the rapid progress of our science, much, it may be, that is here set forth will be modified. Nevertheless I hold that the conception of the inflammatory process indicated in this article is that which embraces the largest number of like phenomena, and excludes most satisfactorily those which if associated are unessential; and that it is by the study of cellular pathology in its strictest sense that the surest advance has been and is to be made in our know- ledge of this the dominating process in disease.
