  • Similar findings have since been established on many occasions and it is now commonly held that many toxic and medicamental substances, introduced into the organism, are to be found in abundance in the interior of the white corpuscles.

    Ilya Mechnikov - Nobel Lecture 1967

  • In the medical writers of the older period of Salerno who had not yet been disturbed by Arabian culture or scholasticism, we cannot but admire the clear, charmingly smooth, light-flowing diction, the delicate and honest setting forth of cases, the simplicity of their method of treatment, which was to a great extent dietetic and expectant, and while we admire the carefulness and yet the copiousness of their therapy, we cannot but envy them a certain austerity in their pharmaceutic formulas and an avoidance of medicamental polypragmasia.
