RT Journal T1 PRactical microbiology and public health for students of medicine, public health, and general bacteriology JF Journal of the American Medical Association JO Journal of the American Medical Association YR 1939 FD January 14 VO 112 IS 2 SP 177 OP 177 DO 10.1001/jama.1939.02800020083035 UL http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.1939.02800020083035 AB This book is essentially a laboratory manual in bacteriology, immunology and public health. With directions for procedure it also includes a number of examples of charts of various kinds for recording the growth and other characteristics of bacteria. While not a manual worth reading by itself (nor is it intended to be), its real value can be demonstrated only when used as a guide in actual laboratory work.
