Excerpt from Immunity in Infective Diseases
The marginal reference to the pages of the original work will, I hope, commend itself to those readers who may wish to refer to the ipsissima verba of the author. It is, I believe, a novelty in scientific works, though familiar in works in other departments of literature.

Excerpt from Immunity in Infective Diseases
My dear Friends,
Permit me to dedicate to you this work, which sums up the labours of twenty-five years; a very great part of it has been carried out by your side, you have done so much to lighten my task
When, nearly fourteen years ago, you allowed me to share your work alongside the venerated Master who founded the House where we have laboured together, you were anything but partisans of my theories; they seemed to you too vitalistic, and not sufficiently physico-chemical. In course of time you became convinced that my ideas were not without foundation, and since then you have given me warm encouragement to pursue my researches in the field that I had marked out for myself.
Working by your side and drawing largely from your vast and varied stores of knowledge, I felt myself safe from those divagations into which a zoologist, who had wandered into the domain of biological chemistry and of medical science, is likely to stray. I thank you with all my heart, and I beg you to accept the homage of this work as a testimony of my deepest gratitude and of my warmest friendship.
Élie Metchnikoff.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the captivating realm of immunity, exploring how living organisms, from the simplest unicellular beings to complex animals, resist and overcome infectious diseases. The author, a pioneer in the field, takes us on a journey through the history of this scientific quest, tracing the evolution of our understanding of immunity from the early empirical practices of vaccination to the groundbreaking discoveries of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. With meticulous detail and insightful observations, the book examines the intricate mechanisms by which organisms defend themselves against invading microbes and their toxins. It unravels the fascinating world of phagocytes, the cellular warriors that engulf and destroy pathogens, and delves into the complex interplay of antibodies and other immune factors. The author sheds light on natural immunity, present from birth, and acquired immunity, developed through exposure to disease or vaccination. Drawing on a wealth of research and experimentation, the book explores diverse examples of immunity across the animal and plant kingdoms, revealing the remarkable adaptability and resilience of living beings in the face of constant microbial threats. The book's exploration of immunity offers profound insights into the delicate balance between life and disease, illuminating the intricate mechanisms that safeguard the well-being of organisms in a world teeming with microscopic foes. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
