176° THE Microscope. * 
ways find us ready to further the interests of American Micro-~ 
scopy. 
Give Proper Crepit.—Since Dr. James left The National 
Druggist its microscopical department has amounted to noth- 
ing. Every occasion possible has been used to aid the Wash- | 
ingtonian struggle. All this we enjoy, but when it comes to a 
positive misstatement of facts then patience ceases to be a vir- 
tue. The editor tells what great pleasure he derived from a 
short conversation with Mr. W. H. Walmsley. He might well. 
have added that he was profited as well as pleased by this short 
meeting. For these two could not converse without this accur- 
ate editor being greatly profited thereby. This editor then pro- 
ceeds to tell the readers of Zhe Druggist how he has “ several 
times called the attention of our readers to the series of articles 
by Mr. Walmsley on photo-micrography in the American 
Monthly Microscopical Journal.” This is rich! We had sup- 
posed Mr. Hitchcock was the author of those articles, and that 
he commenced them in the very next number following the one 
in which we announced the fact that Mr. Walmsley was to con- 
tribute such a series to our journal. The truth is Mr. Walmsley 
did not write those articles for the above-mentioned journal ; 
and further, said editor has not “ several times” called atten- 
tion to Mr. Walmsley’s articles; and still further he has not 
called attention to them once. While it is true, as we remarked 
some years ago, that the difference between The American 
Journal of Microscopy and The American Monthly Microscop- 
ical Journal, so far as the name was concerned was, indeed, a 
microscopical one; it is also true that the difference between 
the latter and Tur Microscope is as great as the difference be- 
tween the North and the South pole, “all the difference in the 
world.” 
YecLtow Fever Inocutations.—While preventive inocula- 
tions of rabies are so frequent, it is well to remember the fact 
that one of Pasteur’s pupils, M. Rebourgeon, has reported on 
6,000 inoculations of yellow fever, with no fever infection sub- 
sequently, and on seven cases of inoculation of patients with 
the disease, all of whom recovered.
