284 CELL INTELLIGENCE THE CAUSE OF EVOLUTION 



what is wanted and take full charge of the business of 

 running- the auto, so that my consciousness (which is the 

 cells in charge of my sense organs) can attend to some- 

 thing else. So it is with walking, balancing or playing a 

 piano. These acts are taken charge of by certain cells 

 or little brains, as they are sometimes called, and it is the 

 consciousness of these cells that has charge of and directs 

 the various actions of the muscles of the arm in steering 

 the auto or playing the piano. All movements we per- 

 form are the results of long difficult practice, except some 

 inborn actions we call instinct. 



The medical profession now well knows the reason why 

 a person can become immune to any particular disease. 

 The immunity is based on the memory of the cells of our 

 bodies, especially the white cells or those whose business 

 it is to look after the welfare of the body in general. They 

 can remember for fifty years any experience in the past 

 in fighting such dangerous enemies as the germs of 

 typhoid, diphtheria, smallpox, etc., and whenever any 

 such bacteria get into the body after having had a pre- 

 vious experience with them they do not allow them any 

 chance to live, multiply and spread into the body, but 

 they are immediately attacked and exterminated by these 

 white cells as fast as they appear. Before they have had 

 an attack by disease germs, and suffered the serious and 

 dangerous experiences resulting from such attacks, they 

 are generally careless, so that the disease germs get time 

 to multiply and spread all through the body before their 

 dangerous character is discovered. Relying upon these 

 facts the medical profession make "serums" which are 

 merely dead bodies of disease germs suspended in a liquid 

 and when injected into the blood stream they frighten 

 the white cells by leading them to think the disease germs 

 have gotten into the body at some place, and they im-
