It has been calculated that if sufficient food were available the total weight of bacteria produc- ed in a day might reach several thousand tons.

"Fortunately the very energy of their rate of growth in a short time Inhibits them by exhaustion of the food supply. A bacterium, dividing once in every twenty minutes, must use up its own weight of food in that time."

"We cannot expect," said Prof. Dean, "a medical student to be a specialist in every branch. It is getting very difficult for the student to put together all the little bits of the jig-saw puzzle into which the composite and harmonious picture of medical science has been dis- sected.

"Oh, aye, but I've stopped think- ing."
