142 WARFARE IN THE HUMAN BODY 



It certainly appears that the terms employed in general 

 physiology should be sufficient for bacteriology, and 

 observers of fresh phenomena ought to be chary of coining 

 new words. Their hasty multiplication usually implies 

 some additional hypothesis. It is characteristic of a 

 false explanation to require an increasing number of 

 sub-hypotheses while a real one abolishes a multitude of 

 superfluous terms, and, displaying a phenomenon as the 

 function of known variables, by such a disclosure becomes 

 essentially a simplification.
