    atoms in the construction of a cell is doubtless well marked; for, by the character and particular arrangement of these atoms, the special properties of the cell are acquired. These are as essential to the evolution of the characteristic phe- nomena of each cell, as the proper action of the various organs of the body is essential to health and vigour. As confirmatory of this we have the morbid phenomena of unhealthy cells, and the inability of venous blood corpuscles to maintain life. Surely, when we recognise these great principles, and that they involve all action of the mind and will, as well as the health of the body in general, we, as custodians of the public health, are especially called upon to exercise our wills in such a manner that all those with whom we are associated, in any relation of life, may benefit by a practical recognition of the truth.
