But Richards has shownthat the cytoplasm is also injured. Manyworkers are tempted to leave the morphol-ogy of the cell and venture into the fieldof cellular ferments, which is equallydifficult, to say the least. One must bevery careful in accepting in vitro fermentexperiments on unicellular organisms orisolated ferments to explain ferment A. Richards (Am. J. Physiol., 1914, xxxv,224; Science, 1915, xlii, 287), who hasdone the best experiments upon theroentgen rays and ferments, is able toshow in vitro that small doses of the roent-gen ray accelerate and larger doses inhibitcertain ferment action. He does notbelieve, however, that this direct actionof the roentgen rays on ferments is adequate

Yet there are observations whichindicate that the bodyr ferments in theliving cells are actually influenced by theroentgen rays.* A spleen removed from arayed animal will show more rapid auto-lysis than a control (Heile. Ztschr. /.Krebsf., 1904, ii, 171). Our experimentsindicate that the same holds for theepithelium of the intestinal mucous mem-brane exposed to ,the roentgen rays. * Recent trend of investigation would point to the possibilityof vitamine changes in x-ray and radium treatment.
