Author Description

Excerpt from Life of Elie Metchnikoff: 1845-1916 <p>After 1889 it was rare for a year to pass without my visiting Paris both in spring and summer, and seeing a great deal of Metchnikoff and his friends Roux, Duclaux, Laveran, and the great master of the Pastorians, who died in 1895.
