A bad bacillus may be doing good work by holding down a worse one. It's conceivable that if we succeeded in exterminating all known diseases we might release an unknown one, supremely horrible, that would exterminate the race." "Oh Eliot, how awful. How can you sleep in your bed?" "You needn't worry. It's only a nightmare idea of mine."
