Excerpt from A Text-Book of Bacteriology: Including the Etiology and Prevention of Infective Diseases and a Short Account of Yeasts and Moulds, Haematozoa, and Psorosperms This book, though nominally a fourth edition, is practically speaking a new work. The progress of Bacteriology has been very rapid, and many new investigations have been made in connection with the etiology, prevention and treatment of communicable diseases. It has been necessary to reconstruct, enlarge and thoroughly revise the text 'of the third edition, and I have added twenty-six chapters. The most important researches conducted in bacteriological laboratories are those relating to the contagia. In many diseases of man and animals it has not been possible to identify the contagium with a bacterium, or indeed with any micro-organism; but when the virus is chemically examined, or investigated with a view to protective inoculation, or utilised for experiments in serum-therapeutics, such researches are within the province of the bacteriologist. The recognition of the fact that in so many diseases the nature of the contagium has not yet been determined will have the effect of encouraging continued activity in this important field of scientific investigation. I hope that this work will continue to be of use as a text book for the bacteriological laboratory, and that the chapters on the etiology and prevention of the communicable diseasesviii preface TO the fourth edition.
