The cells that largely compose the tissues possess, in a greater or less degree, this same property, and it is the accumulation of these minute organ- isms that accounts for the swelling that accompanies inflammation. In Figure 30 is shown, magnified to the same power as in the preceding cut, a similar living membrance, but inflamed. The multiplication of the corpuscles is clearly shown, and also the migration of the white corpuscles.* *Let it be understood that this discussion is the merest outline of the wonderful processes of nourishment and destruction of living tis-. mmm EPS :.
