1DistoIogicaI ano llbathological laboratory The classes in Histology devote the first few weeks to the study of fresh teased tissues, as well as some of the commoner foreign substances occasionally found in specimens, as wool and cotton libres. When familiarity with the microscope has been attained, and a knowledge of elementary tissues. as tibrous tissues, bone, cartilage, blood, etc., the study of more complex structures is undertaken. Each member of the class mounts tifty specimens. These have been stained in bulk and cut in parafline. Many of these sections are from injected unstained tissues, and are utilized to teach the vessel distribution. In some double injection has been done, whereby arteries appear red and veins blue. These sections cover all the important organs and structures, and many of those of less importance. Instruction is so arranged that it shall go hand in hand with lectures on Physiology. ln this method function and minute anatomy are obtained together. The size of the classes tforty to sixtyj has so far prohibited further instruction in technique, but each class is shown apparatus and the methods used in the preparation of specimens. The course lasts throughout the year, each class working two hours a week. Drawing, while requested, is not made a special feature of the work. lt is valuable to impress the mental picture obtained. Especial stress is laid upon landmarks of different tissues, so that proficiency in the iden- tification of tissues can be obtained. All Freshmen are urgently requested to take the course in Histology the first year, as the early knowledge of minute anatomy is a valuable basis to many other branches of medicine. The work in microscopical Pathology, like that in Histology, extends throughout the year. Fifty sections from tissues that were imbedded unstained in celloiden are stained by each member of the classes and mounted. The method of staining is the double Haematoxylin and Eosin, with acid alcohol to destain. The first of these specimens are used to teach general pathology, a thorough systema- tized knowledge of this being the one object kept in view throughout the course. The latter part of the course comprises: 113 Examination of sections from special lesions that bear upon internal medicine, 14. tr., typhoid ulcer, unresolved pneumonia, etc. C23 The microscopical study of tumors, many varieties being examined. Q33 Microscopical urinalysis taken in con- nection with the study of morbid Histology of the kidney. No one is supposed to take Pathology unless well grounded in Histology. The laboratories are in charge of E. R. LE CHVNT, M. D., and D. D. BISHHP, M. D. assisted by J. C. VAN Xisys. V071 A. liRI2NNEckE, R963 T. H. PAGE, 'Q7, C. H. XV1L1.1Aus, '97, J. D.

There is desk room for sixty students, giving each a separate set of the apparatus neces- sary for the work to be done. A scale-table containing twenty prescription balances, each furnished with a set of dry and metric weights, has also been provided. Each member of the Freshman class works in the laboratory two hours per week through- out the term. The works consists of handling the prepared and crude drugs, thereby famil- iarizing the student with their physical propertiesg making some of the simpler pharmaceutical preparationsg writing prescriptions, thus giving practice in the proper form of a prescription, the official names and their proper abbreviations, incompatibilities of all kinds, compounding prescriptions of all classes.
