We will begin with the simplest example: the use of picro-carmine, a mixture of neutral ammonium carmine and ammonium picrate. In a tissue rich in protoplasm, carmine alone stai...

In favour of the diagnostic value of the absolute increase of the eosinophil cells are those cases too, where with a blood condition closely recalling leukæmia, the absence of e...

Recently Brodie and Russell have recommended a new mixture in which the platelets remain quite isolated, and are stained at the same time. They allow the drop of blood as it com...

[37] Owing to the enormous extent of hæmatological literature, we have been able to refer only to more recent publications. We have, however, indicated several papers, in which...
