In attempting to attack this problem from various angles, many investigators have often disregarded striking clinical observations and facts; this is an endeavor to discover a method which when perfected would carry with it a guarantee of producing an abscess of the lung in practically every instance. By so doing they have endeavored to prove that certain postoperative complications, as for example, abscess of the lung, always result from a single mechanism. Others have gone further and have concluded that a given mechanism always operates and is common to other postoperative pulmonary sequelae. Such mechanically perfect experiments naturally add considerable weight to the explanation of how such conditions develop and point out how in many instances their occurrence may best be avoided. Such a simplification, although most desirable,
