    A good example of a modern reader, with carefully chosen selections and attractive layout. Two fables are labelled as from Aesop: The Lion in the Den (3) and BW (13). The Deer is presented as an old fable (5); in it the deer flees from a lion and frees his antlers in the nick of time.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Marianne Carus, Thomas G.

    The routes of migration and dispersion of Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma haematobium schistosomula in the mouse were investigated. Factors such as larval growth, the host's response to the larvae and the changing dimensions of the larvae, which may affect dispersion, were also studied. Host exposure was percutaneous, in order to reproduce the natural mode of infection. The distribution of parasites was traced throughout the first 16 days after infection, between the point of vascular entry in the skin and the site of maturation, the liver. The results of the investigation were obtained by histological, histochemical and autoradiographic techniques. It was shown that after penetration of the skin the schistosomula take pathways in a random fashion. Larval use of the blood vascular route was demonstrated by the presence of schistosomula in the vessels of various organs and tissues. Passive transportation within the systemic circulation to all regions seems likely, including multiple circulation in the absence of larval growth. The patterns of lymphatic drainage were determined in order to be able to ascertain whether the lymphatic system facilitates schistosomular migration. Schistosomula were seen to utilize lymphatic pathways; lymph nodes did not act as barriers. Infection via the tail or hind limb resulted in schistosomula being found in the lung as early as days 2 or 3, which indicates that the route was entirely through the blood vascular system. On subsequent days the lung contained a mixed larval population comprising those which arrived solely by the venous system and those which entered the venous system through the thoracic and right lymphatic ducts. Extravascular routes may be possible when larvae abnormally retain the enzymatic mechanism used for penetration and which is usually lost during the initial phase of migration through the skin. However, few larvae adopt an extravascular route and it is doubtful whether any are able to reach the liver in this way. The author discusses her findings in detail and compares them with those of other workers. Further problems arising from the present work are outlined and discussed

    Open Court Basic Readers: Reading Is Fun.

    No full text
    A good example of a modern reader, with carefully chosen selections and attractive layout. Four fables are labelled as from Aesop: FG (72), TH (81), LM (90), and MSA (136). Also included are Tolstoy's The Rich Man and the Tailor (83) and the Jataka Tale, Granny and Her Elephant (124). The hare intends to nap when he lies down, sure that he would wake up in time to beat the tortoise (82). The tailor is female, and the rich man pays her precisely to stop singing; the fable is not about cares attached to riches. In the Jataka Tale, a good-natured pet elephant goes out and gets a job to help his aging owner. MSA has two unusual features: in the text, people laugh so hard at the carrying of the beast that they frighten the donkey, and in the illustration the laughing people are in the windows of buildings in town.
