Decomposition then sets in with the help of microbes, fungi and microarthropods. Microarthropods are of two kinds-the detritivores that feed on the litter attacked by the microbes and fungi and the predators that feed on the detritivores. The litter that has not been decomposed, dead microbes and microarthropods, along with their excretions and secretions, mix and form humus.

Yet the specialist merely seeks for truth among the excretions of the child's diseased body; but the master veils its soul with errors. But how would it be if the master should seek the truth in the soul of the child? What an incomparable dignity would be his!

These schools of medicine lasted until the end of the seventeenth century, when they were finally overthrown by Sydenham. Sanctorius discovered the fact that an "insensible perspiration" is being given off by the body continually, and was amazed to find that loss of weight in this way far exceeded the loss of weight by all other excretions of the body combined.

Curious as it may seem, each individual as well as each species is in life enveloped with an odor peculiarly its own, due to its exhaled breath, its excretions, and principally to its insensible perspiration. The faculty of recognizing an odor in different individuals, although more developed in savage tribes, is by no means unknown in civilized society.

Telang renders Pura as city, of course, the body having two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, one mouth, and two openings for excretions, is meant. Such men are exempted from the obligation of re-birth. Leaving this body they merge into the Supreme Soul. The word is Swapacha meaning a member of the lowest caste.

The consequences of Koch's important discovery become daily more apparent, and their application more practicable. By JAMES H. SALISBURY, A.M., M.D. Observations in Washington, D. C., September 5, 1879, 8:35 A.M., Boston time, near Congressional Cemetery. Seized with sneezing on my way to cemetery. Examined nasal excretions and found no Palmellae. Pool near cemetery.

It will be evident to the psychoanalyst that the original material is occasionally identified with secretions and excretions, spittle, milk, dung, menstruum, urine. These correspond exactly to the infantile theories of procreation, as does the fact that these theories come to view where the phantasy forms symbols in its primitive activity.

The elimination of these products is brought about by a special apparatus called organs of excretion. The worn-out substances themselves are called excretions, as opposed to secretions, which are elaborated for use in the body. By the skin the body gets rid of a small portion of salts, a little carbon dioxid, and a large amount of water in the form of perspiration.

Fortunately for us, however, they do not all multiply so rapidly as this and besides there are natural checks, not the least of which are the substances given off by the bacteria themselves in their growth and development. Such excretions often serve to inhibit further multiplication.

There is a great difference in different constitutions, and even in the same person at different times, in consequence of which we must be satisfied with an approximation to the truth. Although the precise amount of perspiration can not be ascertained, it is generally agreed that the cutaneous exhalation is greater than the united excretions of both bowels and kidneys.
