Excerpt from The Blood: How to Examine and Diagnose Its Diseases During a somewhat prolonged investigation into the microscopic appearance of the blood in certain pathological conditions, I was at an early period struck with the difficulty of finding any exhaustive account of the methods employed in, and the help to be derived from, the examination of the blood. Various papers written by Drs. Gulland, Kanthack, and Muir have appeared in different journals, but these only deal with one department, and a full and critical account of the methods, especially those dealing with the fixing and staining of films, was incomplete or absent. Most of the literature relating to the microscopic examination of the blood was in German, some in French, but very little in English, excepting on Malaria. Hayem's Du Sang, a stupendous work, treats more particularly of the red corpuscles, but the account of the occurrence of nucleated red blood corpuscles and the development of the cellular elements, is either out of date or not generally accepted as correct, whilst very little mention is made of the variety of leucocytes, classified according to Ehrlich's investigation on the staining reaction of the granules contained in their protoplasm.
