Its tenant was apparently somewhat of a scandal and a stumbling-block to the reforming party. He was a disgrace, they wrote, to the city; he practised secret and wicked arts, and had sold his soul to the enemy. It was of a piece with the gross corruption and superstition of the Babylonish Church that such a viper and blood-sucking Troldmand should be patronized and harboured by the Bishop.
The trypanosomes are fighting with the normal blood cells. Here we have the lowest group of animal life, the protozoa, at work killing the highest, man." Kennedy needed nothing more than the breathless stillness to convince him of the effectiveness of his method of presenting his case.

From affection begotten by confidence, the tired son of Jamadagni placing his head on Karna's lap, slept soundly. That blood-sucking worm, approaching Karna's thigh, began to pierce it.

It was the vampire, the blood-sucking phyllostoma! A short cry escaped from the lips of Leon. It was not a cry of pain, but the contrary.
