The practical importance of studying the morphogenic 

 diastases of protoplasm is clear to every one willing to con- 

 sider this fact ; in such morphogenic diastase, stripped as 

 far as possible of other diastases and excrementitial sub- 

 stances, Koch first and Behring later have probably sought 

 the cure of tuberculosis. By triturating the bacillus of tuber- 

 culosis, they have tried, as a means of curing man, to deprive 

 it of its formative diastase.
