The very many ways that have been tried to reproduce in animals lesions comparable to those found in human arteries indicate the diverse views on the causation of arteriosclerosis. In furthering such views the authors do not hesitate to proclaim the similarity of the expeiimental lesions with types of arteriosclerosis. Hence, one is soon struck by the great variety of lesions, both in the human and animal arteries, all of which are claimed to represent some form of arteriosclerosis. This we believe is not amiss, for it will permit the use of the term arteriosclerosis broadly, representing a group of lesions, and not an individual histological variety. This generic use of the term does not, however, appeal to all, for there are still such who would limit its use to a type unique in its mode of origin, or in its architectural character. There remain, however, few who after investigating the problem closely can see only one causative factor. So many different agents have been demonstrated associated in the human lesions or by experimental means that we can no longer deny the harmful effects of diverse states or substances. It is futile to minimize the harmful effect upon the arteries of bacteria, intoxications, high blood pressure, changes in the character of the blood, and fatigue or " wear and tear." Obvious it is, too, that the tissue responses will not be the same. Some are proliferative, some are degenerative, while others are selective in the tissue attacked. Thus we come to recognize a great variety of lesions of the arterial
