Abstract
THE elucidation of the relationship between structure and function in respect of lymphoid tissue has classically been attempted through experimental injection of particulate or other suitable matter. However, it seems to me1,2 that, when the tissues are invaded by cancer, the ensuing lymph-borne patterns, which have not been effected by hand but by Nature herself, are of much greater scientific significance.
