THE RELATION OF BACTERIA TO DISEASE 53 



Injured tissue cells may recover if the inflammation is 

 not severe, or they may soften, break down, and be re-

 result of an inflammation, we find that there is almost 

 always the formation of connective tissue to take the place 

 of that destroyed. This constitutes what is subsequently 

 known as a scar.
