280 SPECIAL HISTOLOGY. 



smallest lobules are teased out, their elements come readily 

 into view ; but if it be desired to examine into their arrange- 

 ment, fine sections of glands boiled in acetic acid and dried 

 are above all to be recommended, as well as injected prepara- 

 tions, which it is not difficult to make from the lacteal sinuses. 

 For the study of the development of the gland, besides recent 

 specimens, preparations made with acetic acid are necessary. 

 The smooth muscles of the areola are found by mere dissection, 

 although not always very easily, as, except during pregnancy, 

 they are frequently very delicate.]
