THE LANCET, May 29, 1897. 

 ' This is an admirable presentation of the outlines of Bacteriology. 

 The necessary apparatus is fully described, although unfortunately 

 not illustrated, and the methods of cultivation and staining are 

 clearly given, the authors wisely giving only a limited number of 

 methods, but giving those in such detail as to make it easy for anyone 

 to follow out the processes. There is an excellent account of disin- 

 fection, of immunity, and of the preparation of diphtheria antitoxin 

 and of Haffkine's cholera vaccine. The characters of the chief 

 pathogenic and non-pathogenic organisms, both under the microscope 

 and when growing on various culture media, are systematically 

 described. The little work is well up to date, and the authors have 

 succeeded in giving the most clear and useful account of this im- 

 portant subject in brief form with which we are acquainted.' 



THE BRITISH AND COLONIAL DRUGGIST, February, 1897. 



' Well suited to the needs of the student who is beginning the 

 study of bacteriology, or to those who wish to gain a general 

 elementary knowledge of the subject. The facts are well ordered 

 in their arrangement in its columns, and are conveyed in a clear 

 and concise manner. The student of pharmacy especially would 

 find the book just the thing wanted for gaining acquaintance with 

 a subject of which it is inexpedient that he should be ignorant, and 

 yet is not required to possess a deep knowledge.' 



THE TIMES, February, 1897. 

 ' This is a small pocket manual containing a condensation of the 

 more important parts of the larger work on the subject by the 

 same authors, of which we have already made favourable mention.' 



PHARMACEUTICAL JOURNAL, February, 1897. 

 ' ... It will doubtless surprise many to find what a mass of 

 useful information is crowded into the one hundred and fifty pages of 

 this book, but it is satisfactory to note that the matter is well 

 arranged, and of an extremely practical nature. . . . For medical 

 students and chemists in particular, therefore, here may be found 

 bacteriology in a nutshell.'
