Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Course of Elementary Practical Bacteriology: Including Bacteriological Analysis and Chemistry
We have always described methods which we use our selves, and in all cases we have given frankly and without reserve what we consider to be the quickest or the best method. Every laboratory has its own ways and means, its short cuts, and we might almost say its secrets. We have divulged all our own, not because we ?atter our selves that there are no better methods, but because we have found from practical experience that most methods depend in their execution on some small detail which is frequently withheld from the beginner. These so-called laboratory tips, which are acquired through experience and practice, are often omitted in descriptions Of special methods, because they seem unimportant, or possibly too precious. Methods which require acquaintance with glass-blowing, or which recommend themselves readily enough to old hands but seem unsuited to the inexperienced, have been purposely left out.
