So she decided "flat leucocytie infiltration of the framework of the lunge which occurs invatiably -in streptococcus pneumonia aod Which is practically absent in the lesions caused by the virulent as well ag by the non- virulent paneumococcus, is a strong enuigh featare to form a dividing line between the two forms of experimental puen- monia." Imagine such a thing as a woman séme years ago telling the scientific world of the action of germs in experimental . monia! Yet Dr. Wollstein is listened. to and her monographs are eagerly read by doctors all over the world. Other women scientists are scattered shout in colleges and private 1sboratories. Their very names are hard to discover sud nothing is known about them, except that they are highly trained and devoted to te- search. Any one of them may be the Mme.
