Excerpt from Parasitism and Disease To give a course of lectures on disease to a mixed audience would have been an impossibility, let us say, fifty years ago, partly because there was little or nothing to say. Today, owing to the fact that disease has become a biological problem, that it is ranging itself among natural phenomena in our minds, that it can be interpreted in terms of natural law, and that it can be discussed objectively, it is no longer in the hands of professional mystics. That we are dealing with a highly complex unit, the living animal, in which every organ stands in some relation to every other organ or tissue makes a certain amount of repetition inevitable. It has, however, the redeeming quality of driving home the best established facts in the host-parasite conflict. It is unfortunate that technical terms cannot be avoided and that they cannot be translated into common language without great loss of time and interruptions to the normal flow of ideas.
