The action, too, is very rapid, occupying in some instances not more than ten seconds. In this space of time a single tear-drop; was found to destroy a large mass of germs in which it had fallen. Tears preserved in alcohol keep their activity; but tears which bave been boiled lose it.

ANIMALS ARE DIFFERENT. Some other tissue fluids, such as saliva, contain this strange anbetance: but curiously enough it is not found in anyting like the same strength in the tears of animals. Rabbit or guinea pig tears have no effect.

Unfortunately all germs are not affected by tears in the same way. There are "bardy sinners which can resist the poison and so flourish in spite of Nature's efforts to destroy them.

Indeed, it may well be, in view of this discovery, that only those germs which can withstand the lysozyme of tears and other body fluids, are harmful to man.

In other words, if we had no tears. if our eyes and mouths were dry, we must soon perish from a host of enemies which, at present, have no power to hurt
