It is the electrical charge on the cell which permits the cell to adapt itself to changes. Oxidation occurs only in the presence of the charge and in turn creates the charge.

By answering all questions and avoiding obscurantism he has kept his patients from worry, that great handicap against treatment. His book, in which he organized his lectures, has been in wide demand. Last autumn he revised it and recently C. V. Mosby...
