Life in its simplest form is typified in the simple amoeba. Man himself is but a conglomeration of differential amoeboid masses; and just as any departure from a state of health of any one group of protoplasmic masses in the human body tends to disturb the whole human being, so in a com munity of human beings the disease of any single individual reacts upon and is a source of danger to the whole of that society.
