tissue, containing a considerable quantity of elastic fibres and 

 many chains of fat cells. 



For the investigation of the coarser ducts the corrosive injecting 

 fluids are generally employed. Sometimes the fluids penetrate so 

 well in the case of the glands of young people, that the ducts may be 

 followed to their ultimate ramifications. Glands that have been 

 hardened in spirits of wine, or boiled in pyroligneous acid, are well 

 adapted for the purpose of exhibiting the budding forth of the young 

 ducts, their structure, and the characters of the stroma. In pyrolig- 

 neous acid preparations, the arrangement of the muscular tissue and 

 of the papillary projections of the nipple may be readily investigated. 

 Instructive preparations for the examination of the epithelial cells in 

 the acini may be obtained from specimens that have been hardened 

 in chromate of potash or absolute alcohol. Staining the lamellae 

 with carmine also renders apparent the fine contours of the epithelial 

 cells, whilst perosmic acid blackens the smallest particles of fat con- 

 tained in their interior. The injection of the bloodvessels can usually 

 be effected even in mammary glands that have been removed by 

 operation, providing Bering's apparatus and very fluid injections are 

 employed.
