96 THE MICROSCOPE. 



WHAT OUR EXCHANGES SAY. 



Our personal knowledge of its editors and publishers is a suffi- 

 cient guarantee that the promises given with the editorial bow will 

 be fully carried out. It opens up a new field of medical journalism 

 and one which if well cultivated (as it will be) will "fill a long felt 

 want" on this subject. — Therapeutic Gazette. 



It affords us great pleasure to notice the appearance of this 

 new journal. * * * and tlie projectors and editors, being well 

 known in this line of investigation, will make the " Microscope " a 

 welcome visitor to all who appreciate the importance of the instru- 

 ment that has opened a new world to the enquiring scientist. — 

 Journal of Pharmacy. 



The names of its editors is ample guarantee to insure for this 

 new journal the success it deserves. — Good Health. 



If it continues to be thus ably edited there need be no fear of 

 its failure. — Monthly Index. 



It fills a sphere of its own and should be in the hands of every 

 physician and druggist in the country. Both editors have a practi- 

 cal acquaintance with microscopy, and the results of their experience 

 cannot fail to be valuable to all workers. — American Microscopical 

 Journal. 



Simple Device for Handling thin Covers. — Cut a piece of 

 suitable size from a flat rubber ring, fix this by a large-headed pin, 

 cut short, on to the end of a cedar stick, driving the head of the pin 

 so as to form a depression in the rubber. Wet the rubber, and on 

 pressing it on a cover-glass it will adhere to it and the glass may be 

 manipulated as desired. To disconnect the rubber from the glass 

 it is merely necessary to incline the stick so as to detach the rubber 

 at one edge when the adhesion ceases at once. The apparatus is 

 more durable if a little cementing material be used on the stick as 

 he pin sometimes draws through the rubber. — Royal Mic'l Jour- 

 nal.
