In consequence it has been necessary to mples agents of the Extraordinary Con- mission to do sentry duty.,

Like armies, these cells can become de moralised and allow the enemy, the disense germ, to win the day. Like armies, too they can snatch victory from defeat.

The fighting spirit of a patient is very often the deciding factor in this conflict. The will to live in the supreme enemy of disease. When a doctor sees in bis patient resolution taking the place of resignation ho knows that very often the corner is turned.
