    taining colored illustrations of stained blood preparations wliich bear some resemblance to tlieir original, and are not wholly' or partly works of the imagination (“diagrammatic”). Funke, of Leipsic, has, I think, been as successful in dealing with the stained blood in the present work as he was with the fresh blood in the beautiful illustrations for W. S. Thaj-er’s monograph on “The Malarial Fevers of Baltimore.” Any one who writes on the blood must be constantlj^ indebted to the following standard text-books: Hayem: “Du Sang,” Paris, 1889. v. Limbeck: “Grundriss einer klinischen Patho- logie des Blutes,” Jena, 1890 (second edition). Grawitz: “Klinische Pathologie des Blutes,” Berlin, 1896. Schmaltz: “Pathologie des Blutes,” Leipsic, 1896. liieder: “Beitriige z. Kentniss der Leucocytosis,” Leipsic, 1892. I have usuall}^ referred to them in the text as “Hayem,” “Bieder,” etc., always meaning one of the above works. The quotations from Schreiber in the text refer to manuscrii)t notes of his lectures in 1896, kindly loaned to me bj^ Dr. Mark W. Richardson. I am indebted to Dr. F. P. Henry for permission to use the cuts from his recent article on the filaria sanguinis hominis. December, 1896. PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. A NEW chapter on the serum reaction in typhoid fever has been added, and the more obvious mistakes in the text have been corrected. I wish to express my thanks to those who have called my attention to mistakes in the text, especially to Dr. Joseph A. Capps, who has furnished many valuable sugges- tions.
