“At this late date many seem to forget that a basic discovery of Dr. Still was the fact of immunity…. The whole living structure (not just the backbone) which embraces function, or vice versa, is something more than just a sum of the parts; and the sum of the parts is not confined to one class of tissue, e.g. bones…. The practical everyday problem resolves itself into what the individual measure of the particular case is. It is not a composite collective one, but composite and unified, with multiplicity in unity. ”
JAOA , March 1935.
