Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Bacteriological Technique and Special Bacteriology This Manual of Bacteriological Technique and Special Bacteriology has been written in pursuance of a plan first adopted by the writer while working in the Hygienic Institute, Berlin, and is the result of considerable experience of the wants of students in Bacteriology, both here and abroad. The technique and working methods have been carefully selected, and from the mass of available material on this rapidly growing branch of the subject, only those methods and material have been chosen which possess distinctive benefits. The methods are all straightforward and practical, and when carefully performed give excellent results. It was thought best to separate the Technique from the Bacteriology of Special Diseases, which latter is included in the Special Bacteriology. This has been made very inclusive, and it is thought that it is quite sufficiently so, for any one not so specially equipped as to go to the original papers and articles. Much that is of importance in the study of the comparative diseases of animals and those transmissible to man has been included, an inclusion very necessary in the light of the growing importance of this to the practical hygienist. Again, to meet the needs of Sanitarians an account has been given of the common bacteria found in water, milk, air, soil, etc. It is generally agreed that a book of this description is not a fitting place for original or controversial work, and that the object to be attained is the presenting of a correct idea of the relative conditions of the contemporary science - consequently little is alluded to of the above nature, and nothing speculative which could be avoided without interfering with inevitable deductions from fundamental experimental principles.
