Abstract
PROF. RITTER'S further explanation of his meaning leaves me gasping! Apparently I did him an injustice in supposing that he meant to compare the human organism to a chemical compound. What he really intended was to compare each human individual to a chemical element. Just as each element reacts differently with oxygen and thereby manifests its individuality, so each human being reacts differently to oxygen, and in this his personal peculiarities find their explanation.
