Abstract
VERY one of us is characterised by more or less marked personality as an individual, in addition to belonging to a particular race and having its special attributes. It is permissible to assume that we possess chemical individuality also, that each one of us, varying perhaps on either side of a chemical mean, is built up of slightly different materials from his fellows and leads his own chemical life.
