...wounds, it forms pus. If they get into the lungs by way of the blood they clog the bronchioles, the tiny air passages, and so give one form of bronchopneumonia. They frequently are secondary invaders in diphtheria, scarlet fever and smallpox. In septicemia, bacterial blood poisoning, these germs may snake along to the heart, where they fasten themselves to the inner heart membranes; or they may grow to the lips of the heart valves, causing thereby valvular troubles. The toxins may cause rotting of the lobules of the liver and of certain passages of the kidneys. They are the causative...

The audience is slow at understanding, but they are rather slow in helping them to understand. Mr. Mowbray as the cynic who tries to "Scotch the snake" of life has excellent moments, due perhaps to his possessing the nicest lines of the play. Yet he fails to maintain the consistency of Prior's character by ranting at times as no Priors ever rant--even when convinced that they are soundly, irrevocably dead...
