Excerpt from Practical Uranalysis and Urinary Diagnosis: A Manual for the Use of Physicians, Surgeons, and Students The physician is often led to purchase a microscope for the chief or sole purpose of urinary examinations. In so doing the next step is to learn how to make satisfactory examinations of urine therewith. In purchasing a work purporting to explain the use of the instrument, as a rule little or nothing will be found therein relative to microscopical examinations of the urine. In turning to systematic treatises on the urine, as a rule, an equal lack of information on the subject is met with. The above mentioned are some of the considerations for introducing in the present edition a separate section intended to furnish a general idea of the microscope itself and its special use in urinary work. While this section is by no means claimed to be exhaustive, the author hopes that the beginner will find therein some useful and practical suggestions to aid him in his work.
