156 The Microscope. 



Notes on Microscopic Methods, by Simon H. Gage, Cornell University. 



It is to be deplored that this little work was gotten up only for 

 the use of students in the laboratory of the Anatomical Department 

 of the University, for it possesses so many excellent aids and ingen- 

 ious devices to encourage and lead on the beginner that it certainly 

 deserves a wider circulation. None but a careful teacher could have 

 devised a guide so filled with just those practical points on which 

 all students need information, nor could another have arranged 

 them in a more convenient form. We hope to see the little work 

 before the public at no late day.

is sufficient guarantee of the excellence of the book, which is an 



epitome of valuable points for the busy practitioner who has little 



time for consulting the larger works. The diagnostic methods and 



treatment advocated are the latest.

Editors of The Microscope :— 



As the method of securing and chlorofonning a cat, given in 

 your last number, differs very much from the one which I have 

 found to be successful, I submit the latter to your readers. 



Such cats as I have operated on, would, I think, put in some 

 very sharp objections to being tied down. I fear that I would have 

 use for a large supply of court plaster if I were to try the tying. 



Our specimens will be of much greater interest if we inject
