...vast amount of knowledge has accumulated about malaria. The Anopheline mosquito bites a person and injects the malaria organism, a protozoon about one-fifth the size of a red blood cell. The protozoon gets into a red cell where it grows and reproduces (by subdivision) until it literally bursts its host. Its offspring invades other cells. While the protozoa are in their reproductive stage, the typical chills & fever of malaria develop. Quinine is a poison for malaria organisms. It kills them while they are in the blood cells (except when they are reproducing). Thus quinine is a specific antidote...

Or it is possible to grow the cells in "tissue cultures," as Dr. Alexis Carrel has for years grown embryonic chicken tissue at the Rockefeller Institute. This in vitro method, however, fails to give an exactly truthful picture of all cell growth...

In a recent issue of Nature, British scientific weekly, Dr. F. Rinne, University of Freiburg, Germany, suggested similarities between a crystal and a simple sperm cell which may be the means of drawing living and nonliving matter together. He pointed out that a chief characteristic of liquid crystals* is the so-called "straight-stretch" type of molecule which composes it. Protein molecules of sperm cells are also of the "straight stretch" type. In addition to this...
