Excerpt from Pathogenic Microorganisms: A Practical Manual for Students, Physicians and Health Officers The first edition of this book was called Bacteriology in Medicine and Surgery. It was written to make available for others the practical knowledge which had been acquired in the work of the bacteriological laboratories of the citv of New York, and was intended more for medical practitioners than for medical students or laboratory workers. When the second edition had been exhausted the improvement in methods of cultivating and studying the protozoa had reached a point rendering it advantageous to include the animal as well as the vegetable germs. This was done and the title of the third edition was altered to conform with the text, which had been broadened to give in outline practically the whole field of pathogenic microorganisms. At the same time the subjects were treated in a more comprehensive manner, so as to make it a suitable text-book for medical students. In the fifth edition the material was rearranged in order to bring more closely together all of the pathogenic organisms. Under the arrange ment Part I deals with the general characteristics and methods of study of all the microorganisms considered (moulds, yeasts, bacteria and protozoa). Part II includes the study of the individual pathogenic microorganisms and their near relatives. Part III presents certain practical aspects of the subject under the title Applied Microbiology. In the sixth edition the practical application of serums and vaccines was transferred also to Part III. The nine plates included in this edition have been arranged and drawn especially for this book.
