Bacteriology is essentially a practical study, and even the elements of its technique can only be taught by personal instruction in the laboratory. This is a self-evident proposition that needs no emphasis, yet I venture to believe that the former collection of tried and proved methods has already been of some utility, not only to the student in the absence of his teacher, but also to isolated workers in laboratories far removed from centres of instruction, reminding them of forgotten details in methods already acquired. If this assumption is based on fact no further apology is needed for the. | THE ELEMENTS OF BACTERIOLOGICAL TECHNIQUE A LABORATORY GUIDE FOR MEDICAL DENTAL AND TECHNICAL STUDENTS BY J. W. H.

This is a self-evident proposition that needs no emphasis yet I venture to believe that the former collection of tried and proved methods has already been of some utility not only to the student in the absence of his teacher but also to isolated workers in laboratories far removed from centres of instruction reminding them of forgotten details in methods already acquired. If this assumption is based on fact no further apology is needed for the present revised edition in which the changes are chiefly in the nature of additions rendered necessary by the introduction of new methods during recent years. I take this opportunity of expressing my deep sense of obligation to my confrere in the Physiological Department of our medical school Mr. J. H. Ryffel B. C. B. Sc. who has revised those pages .
