Lining the blood vessels, lymph vessels and lymph spaces are found flattened cells apposed to one another by their edges to form an extremely thin membrane.
This layer is pierced by a number of small openings, known as stomata, which bring the cavity into direct communication with lymph spaces or vessels lying beneath the membrane.
Through these stomata fluids and other materials present in the body-cavity can be removed into the lymph spaces.
The important nutritive fluid that circulates as blood and lymph in the elaborate canals of our vascular system is not a clear, simple fluid, but a very complex chemical juice with millions of cells floating in it.
The lymphatic vessels conduct both the colourless lymph and the white chyle into the venous part of the circulation.
While the chyle is white on account of its high proportion of fatty particles, the lymph proper is colourless.
The evident selective affinity of Koch's lymph for tuberculous tissue may enable it, in certain cases, to effectually seal the arterial capillaries about the affected parts, owing to the intense vaso-motor disturbance produced.
The Koch lymph is evidently not a poison to the germs, and probably has no other action on the affected organs than that of an irritant, having a selective affinity by virtue of the kinship with its contents.
And while such murmurs flow, the nymph Bends o'er the harp-top from her shell As the dry limpet for the lymph Come with a tune he knows so well.

This deposit of lymph did not begin in the glands, but went over the whole surface of the intestine, and concealed the glands instead of rendering them more prominent—instead of being deposited in the glands, was rather around them at first.
At one part there was a little pit as if a blister or inflammatory effusion of lymph had broken.
This is a progressive anemia and enlargement of the lymph glands and the skin, with secondary lymphoid growth in the liver, spleen and other organs.
By the kneading and rubbing of the muscles and skin the liquids in the tissues are absorbed and poured into the lymph spaces, and a healthy blush is brought to the skin.

Lymphatic type is rare, various groups of the lymph glands are enlarged, usually separate, but sometimes matted together; others, such as the tonsils may become large.
Clinically this lymph of Koch has led to wonderful cures in lobular pneumonia, for it produces pneumonia, broncho pneumonia, and congestion of the lungs in the tuberculous patient.
Clarke[D] instituted an inquiry into the symptoms produced by the employment of Koch's lymph in the case of tuberculous and non-tuberculous patients.
I would merely remark to my honorable colleague that Koch's lymphwas used in our school in all the homoeopathic dilutions possible at the moment of its far-resounding discovery--a fact which he should know as well as myself.
Arnulphy, in a series of articles in the Chicago Clinique, which I have read attentively, speaks favorably of Koch's lymph in homoeopathic dilutions in cases of tuberculosis.
The peri-tuberculous congestion only is diminished, as one may observe with the naked eye when Koch's lymph is employed in the amelioration of lupus.
However this might be, these vascular lesions drew attention to the homoeopathicity of Koch's lymph in nephritis.
G] Koch's lymphis an extract in glycerine of dead tuberculous bacilli.
As a general rule, in the case of a healthy man, Koch's lymph would not develop any reaction, its effects manifesting themselves in a febrile congestion, which betrays the presence of tubercles.
Experimentally this same lymph of Koch gives symptoms of inflammation of the arteries which are not found in clinical tuberculosis.
Blood pressure in the capillaries undoubtedly has much to do in forcing the plasma through the capillary walls, but this tends to prevent the movement of the lymph in the opposite direction.
In the performance of this function, the skin is an important means of keeping the tissues soft and the blood and lymph from becoming too concentrated.
The plasma which is forced through the capillary walls by pressure from the heart makes room for itself by pushing a portion of the lymph out of the lymph spaces.
The double movement of the lymph from the capillaries toward the cells and from the cells toward the capillaries is not entirely understood.
Diagram* showing general movement of lymph from the place of relatively high pressure at the lymph spaces to the place of relatively low pressure in the thoracic cavity.
Trace the lymph in its flow from the right hand to where it enters the blood; from the feet to where it enters the blood.
But the lymph and the blood, everything considered, can hardly be looked upon as two separate and distinct liquids.
From the cells where they are formed, the waste materials pass into the lymphand from the lymph they find their way into the blood.
The smaller of these tubes, called the right lymphatic duct, receives the lymph from the lymphatics in the right arm, the right side of the head, and the region of the right shoulder.
A small lymph tube, called a lacteal, which occupies the center of the villus and connects at the base with other lymph tubes, also called lacteals (B, Fig.
The cells in the surface layer of the bone receive lymphfrom the capillaries in the periosteum.
The wastes are formed at the cells, whence they are passed by the lymph into the blood plasma.
As compared with the blood, the lymph must be classed as a quiet liquid.
Pressure exerted on the sides of the lymph tubes by contracting muscles tends to close them up and to push the lymph past the valves, which, by closing, prevent its return (Fig.
Only when they begin moving their lymph can they begin to detoxify properly.
When the lymph is overloaded with waste products the ducts and nodes swell, and until the source of the local irritation is removed, are incapable of handling further debris.
Lymph nodes are also a part of our immune system and produce white blood cells to help control invading organisms.
Fasting, massage, and poultices will often soften overloaded lymph nodes and coax them back into operation.

It is conveyed in the body by the lymph stream, and has rarely been isolated from the blood (Köbner).
Alimentary infection in man is a rare form, and it reveals itself in a primary diseased state known as mycosis intestinalis, an inflamed condition of the intestine and mesenteric lymph glands.
Such action does undoubtedly depend in measure upon the number of germs as well as their quality, for the killing power of blood and lymph must be limited.
These facts, however, do not remove the suspicion which has hitherto rested upon vaccine lymph as a vehicle for bacteria of other diseases which by its inoculation may thus be contracted.

The disease germ is introduced, in the main, through the lymph and not the blood system; consequently, in the initial stages the evidence of tuberculosis is often comparatively slight, and the lesion is restricted in its development.
On the other hand, the blood is recruited during its return through the veins by the fresh chyle, or imperfect blood, which has been produced by food; and it receives also lymph from the absorbent vessels, as we have before mentioned.
