admit and study the effects of animal organisms in disease with the same 

 thoroughness with which bacterial affections are observed. A considerable 

 part of this is to be credited to students of tropical medicine. Portions of 

 protozoology, formerly regarded as an academical science; helminthology, long 

 looked upon as a distinct and isolated branch of natural history, and entomol- 

 ogy, which was for centuries tolerated as a hobby of dilettantes, have grad- 

 ually become co-ordinated into a logical science which touches and explains 

 a goodly fraction of the important diseases of mankind. The study should 

 be taught systematically and thoroughly in every medical school in the 

 country instead of being touched upon in a desultory manner by the bacteri- 

 ologist, pathologist or clinician." — Dr. Creighton Wellman, in the California 

 State Journal of Medicine.
