The White Blood-CorpuscleSo—The bloodalso contains white corpus-cles in the proportion of onewhite corpuscle to threehundred red ones. Theyare larger than the red, areperfectly colorless, and glo-bular in their form. Thewhite corpuscles, underproper conditions, are seento be continually changingtheir form, almost like liv-ing animals. There havebeen many speculations as to their office in the body, but nothing definite hasbeen ascertained. In certain diseases, however,they are found to increase enormously in number,and some of these diseases are among the mostdangerous and difficult to treat of any the physi-cian meets with. Although the blood-corpuscles are so very mi-nute, they exist in such enormous numbers thatthey are estimated to compose half the mass ofthe blood. 148.
