PBEFACE 



M. VALLERY RADOT'S Vie de Pasteur it has been 

 translated into English by Mrs. Devonshire is 

 one of the best of all books, and ought to be in 

 every Public Library. I have borrowed much from 

 it ; and I hope that my little book may be regarded 

 as a sort of signpost on the way toward the well- 

 beloved Vie de Pasteur. 



It has been arranged to publish this manual on 

 September 28, the day of Pasteur's death. That 

 is a day which all physicians and surgeons and 

 not they alone ought to mark in their calendars ; 

 and it falls this year with special significance for 

 us, now that his country and ours are fighting side 



by side to bring back the world's peace.
