GENERAL INTRODUCTION 3 



Wherever possible the college instruction in pharmaceutical bacteri- 

 ology should be supplemented by visits to biological laboratories for the 

 manufacture of sera and bacterial vaccines, to board of health laboratories, 

 quarantine stations, garbage reduction works, etc. Students should also 

 be assigned special reading. Journals and special treatises on bacteriology 

 and on public sanitation should be consulted. The reports on bacterio- 

 logical and related subjects issued from time to time by the United~States 

 Public Health Service are of special interest. 



The following references are given for the benefit of those students who 

 may desire further information regarding the earlier conceptions of phar- 

 maceutical bacteriology. It will be found that the opinions advanced by 

 the authors cited differ considerably.
