 of excellence of the microscope that pleases the mind as a means

 to think it is an end. 



THE MICROSCOPE IN DISEASE. 



I use it to examine the blood, sputum, fjeces, urine, skin 

 secretions, eyes, ears, nose, glands, and voiritus. 



This morphological examination does not exclude other phy- 

 sical exploration or chemical examination. It supplements them 

 and with them forms a most valuable basis for the detection and 

 estimation of pathological conditions.

 ology of the blood.* MorjDh. B = The morphology of the 

 sputum, which may include all discharges from the air pass- 

 ages, which are expectorated through the mouth. Morpk.

 sweat and dirt. Morph. Z>:=The morphology of the faeces.

CONSUMPTION — PHTHISIS PULMONALIS. 



Morphs. A, B, D, E — The microscope is a means to the

 any time within a year before the lungs break down, which

 consumption and bronchitis and asthma. 5. Fibrous consump-
