viii. SYMBIOGENESIS 



dynamically Importance of " plasticity " and of biological factors 

 (work) in colloidity Connection with physiological warmth and 

 circulatory and respiratory advance Inorganic and organic bio- 

 dynamic parallels Incipient organic consciousness "Quasi-mechanical" 

 powers of the colloids Capillary affinity Osmosis Difference of chemi- 

 cal composition in animal and plant according to early protoplasmic 

 (bio-economic) adaptation Exceptional position of the Fungi Signifi- 

 cance of abundance of Nitrogen in Seeds Dependence of organisms 

 according to Nitrogen requirements Normal and vicarious versus 

 morbid accumulation of Nitrogen Nitrogenous fare useful to support 

 concentrated physical efforts Fatty degeneration frequently resulting 

 from malnutrition, i.e., over-feeding and abnormal nitrogen hunger 

 Proneness of nitrogenous substances to decompose Dangers arising 

 therefrom Nitrogenous substances lending themselves more particu- 

 larly to extremes and to stimulate unwholesome activity Compo- 

 sition and efficiency of ferments Danger of superfluous nitrogen 

 in the food Qualitative differences Need of aromatic amino-acids 

 Study of vitamine-structure pointing to the perennial need for 

 purposes of health and of progressive evolution of " Love- food " 

 assimilation and of "Love-food production (symbiogenesis) Clinical 

 successes by reducing nitrogen-intoxication Predominance of " Love- 

 foods " in dietary of arctic explorers " Kinotoxin " and fatigue 

 Nitrogen a good servant but a bad master Its use must be in 

 accordance with bio-economic requirements The reactions of organic 

 matter on forces Nutrition responsible for new physiological momenta 

 and new correlations Depredation responsible for unequal blood-supply, 

 making for asymmetry, excessive bulk and monstrosity "Indirect" 

 reactions of organic matter more important than " direct," i.e., symbiotic 

 more than mechanical Inadequacy of Spencer's "mechanical" inter- 

 pretations Heat production by "animate" bodies Tissue- food and 

 heat-food Case of carnivora Highest requirement in food is adequacy for 

 symbiogenesis "Secondary" effects of digestion Metabolism of proteids 

 inseparable from that of fats and carbohydrates Abnormal metabolism 

 and pathogenesis connected with Phosphorescence Electric fishes and 

 parasites as examples Torpedo and Gymnotus Inordinate cravings due 

 to lack of adequate bio-chemical satisfaction in food In-feeding favours 

 "casual labour " Food and the evolution of the senses of taste and of 

 smell Though colloids are insipid, colloidal solutions always present an 

 association with (sapid) crystalloids Therapeutic and preventive value 

 of emulsion-colloids (emulsoids) Indispensable crystalline principles 

 transmitted through (bio-economic) agency of plants Importance of 

 natural mineral salts Minerals proper incapable of assimilation by 

 human organism " Love- foods " as embodiments of all essential (crystal- 

 loid and colloid) therapeutic principles Apparent anomaly of liquid
