Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Defensive Arrangements of the Body as Illustrated by the Incidence of Disease in Children and Adults
Gentlemen, - Tl'l choice of a subject for the present lecture has been a matter of very great difficulty, and if it has not been a very fortunate one I must crave your kind indul[ gence. It seems to me that the object of lectures such as these is best attained by making an attempt to present a wide View of some general subject and one suggestive of future research rather than to discuss some more-limited matter which would be better suited for a paper at an ordinary meeting of the Society. Hence it was among the former class of topics that my choice lay, and it has occurred to me that the subject of the relative resisting power of children and adults against infective diseases was well worth special study.
