METHODS OF HEALING. 483 



All the changes taking place in the various methods of healing 

 of wounds occur in, and are visible illustrations of, the changes 

 that take place in recovery from disease. In all there is a 

 gradual approach of the new particles — which are successively 

 produced — to a nearer conformity with the specific character of 

 the parts they should replace, till repair becomes almost repro- 

 duction. 



For an explanation of the process by which blood-vessels are 

 formed in reparative material, the reader is referred to the 

 chapter on Inflammation.
