Excerpt from Pathological Technique: A Practical Manual for Workers in Pathological Histology IN revising the book for this edition we have continued to keep in view the needs of the laboratory worker, whether student, practitioner, or pathologist, for a practical manual of histological and bacteriological methods in the study of pathological material. The subject of the examination of the urine has been almost entirely omitted, as in the first edition, because it is such a large subject as to require by itself a good-sized volume for its adequate presentation. In the addition of new methods to the book we have endeavored, as in the first edition, to exercise discrimina tion, and to select only those that either have stood the test of practical experience or give great promise of usefulness. The number of illustrations has been considerably in creased. The majority are from new photo-micrographs made by Dr. Wright and Mr. I S. Brown in the Clinico Pathological Laboratory of the Massachusetts General Hospital. In many instances they replace the illustrations of bacteria in the first edition.
