Abstract

Although we of today are living In a relatively advanced state of civilization, there still remains to be solved by man many familiar mysteries. These are found not only in the physical order but in the chemical and biological as well. It seems that the greater strides man takes toward the solution of his difficulties, the more other ones crop up to plague him. With the conquering of such deadly diseases as Diphtheria, Malaria and Scarlet Fever, man once dared to dream about a universe free from sickness. Yet today we find that three others have arisen which are causing just as much suffering and death, namely, Infantile Paralysis, Cancer and Heart Trouble. The larger man builds his telescopes and the more he improves the spectroscope and microscope, the more his knowledge is increased. But conversely, as man has found out much to his dismay, the more he learns, the more he realizes that there is so tremendous a vein of knowledge, which he has not succeeded in even slightly tapping. In regard to the human and animal body for instances man has spent centuries investigating it and his knowledge concerning many of its structures would easily fill several libraries. Yet, there are certain organs in the animal body, that man has only a very hazy idea concerning and even modern investigation has not entirely cleared up the mystery. One of these structures which has proven itself so puzzling to man, is the spleen.
