Ladies and gentlemen, to me the blood is one of the 

 most interesting of all tissues. The more one works at it the 

 more numerous are the paths it opens out, full of the 

 possibilities of pleasure and reward. I have only touched on 

 the fringe of a very large subject. 



I realise that I have been somewhat disjointed, and 

 possibly here and there too technical. 1 sincerely hope not, 

 and if 1 have unwittingly been guilty of such offences I must 

 rely on your kindly forbearance and trust to your generous 

 forgiveness.
