This is one of the chief reasons why we find these superstitions lingering more tenaciously in Celtic districts than skewhere, inking, in especial, the Roman Catholic parts of Ireland and the Highlands of Scotland the well-stocked preserves of the folklorist. Such adoption on the part of the pro-Reformation churches aleo, in some part, accounts for the Bible texts which Dr. Maclagan tells us are brought forward by Lelievers in "the eye" as proof of the existence of such influenco. He tells us further that belief is by no means confined to the unsducated or lower classes, but is to be found in several ranks. So strong is the superstition that men meeting a reputed possessor of the ovil eye nu their way to fish or to any important work will turn back believing that their lack is destroyed.

In the second place, as our microscopes inform us, the beginning of immunity is marked by a change in the forms of the parasite found in the blood. In the early stage of an attack of, say, tropical malarial fever, the parasites are found only in the forms suitable for growth within the human body.
