From page 29...
... One afternoon I was thinking about rheumatic fever and about the Aschoff nodule, the microscopic lesion characteristic of it. It was at that time and I think probably in many circles still is, thought to be the result of a local hypersensitivity reaction involving components of the group A hemolytic strepto
