404 ARTHITR ^^ILLIA.\I MKVKIi 



ill diseases in which blood desliuciioii is known to occur. More- 

 over, no one has regarded the cause of blood destruction in these 

 diseases to lie in the enlargement of these nodes, and it would 

 seem more probable that hyperactivity in them at such a time 

 — as a result of infection or the production of toxine — should 

 as in the case of the bone marrow, be regarded as a constructive 

 rather than as a primarily destructive reaction or process. Then, 

 of course as has been suggested repeatedly, there is the possi- 

 bility that hemal nodes have the same function as the spleen 

 and supernumerary spleens — whatever that may be.
