7 o THE MICROSCOPE. 



duced to Dr. R . Naturally we stepped forward and took the 



hand of the gentleman, when we were informed that he was only 



plain Mr. M ; that Dr. R was the lady. We have been 



teaching lady medical students for a number of years, but did not 

 know before that our own state had a lady physician on the medical 

 staff of one of its largest institutions. Over half of the inmates are 

 women, then why not have a lady attendant? Who can understand 

 their aches and pains as well ? And who can tell better when they

WHEN we wrote an editorial some time ago about the new 

 president of the American Society, we said that Professor 

 McCalla had been pastor of one of the largest churches in 

 Chicago. We thought it was true at the time but it seems that he 

 was not the resident pastor. We were responsible alone for what 

 we stated, but to avoid any appearance of " false colors " we make 

 this simple correction. 



OUR journal is increased this year to forty-eight pages, notwith- 

 standing the fact that we were kept from editorial work a whole 

 winter. Now, if our subscribers will all renew and help us a little 

 by giving us contributions and new subscribers, we will assure 

 them that soon they wdl have a journal of twice this size. Our 

 ambition is to get a bi-monthly of one hundred and twenty pages 

 each issue. Will you not help us ? 



HAVE you ever seen any of those beautiful diatoms mounted by 

 Mr. Peticolas, of Richmond? They are indeed beautiful and 

 valuable as well, for each slide is labeled for locality, habitat and 

 species. 



REMEMBER, please, that one dollar is not much for you, but 

 in the aggregate it is everything to us. So renew at once, if 

 vou have not already done so.
