    PREFACE Bacteriology dominates so large a part of the art of nursing that a correct understanding of the more important facts and principles of that science is an indispensable part of every nurse’s mental equipment. In the following pages emphasis has been laid on the immediate application of the subject to nursing, and only enough general bacteriology has been introduced to give the student a clear conception of the principles underlying her work. A perusal of the various chap- ters will show that a study of all the ordinary modes of transmission of infection has been presented. Many pathogenic bacteria have been omitted, because their discussion would have added little or nothing to the presentation of the principles already laid down. While there is no gainsaying the value of individual labora- atory exercises in the study of bacteriology, the writers feel that, so far as instruction to nurses is concerned, simple practical demonstrations by the teacher may very well be substituted for individual laboratory work. Suggestions for such demonstrations have been added at the end of the chapters. New York City, April, 1913.
