The presence of the virulent types in the blood incites some agent (its nature yet unknown) to dissociate the virulence, leaving the germs in their mild form. This gentle type the body cells & fluids can easily destroy. It is the presence of that dissociating power, Dr. Soule believes, that renders people immune to disease, rather than any specific germicidal activity of the body fluids...
