The invaded cell for a time grows in size with increasing growth of the parasite, but is finally destroyed and the material within it largely consumed. The surrounding cells are stimulated; rapid division and growth occurs among them, and a wart is soon Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Percival, John, 1863-1949.
