Bacillus leprae. 



FIG i. 



From a section of the skin of a leper. The section 

 is, almost in its entirety, stained purple, and, 

 with moderate amplification, has a finely granular 

 appearance. Stained with Ehrlich's method 

 (fuchsine and methylene blue). x 200. 



FIG. 2. 



Part of the same preparation with high amplification, 

 showing that the appearances described above 

 are due entirely to an invasion of the tissue by 

 the bacilli of leprosy. x 1,500.
