. A practical study of malaria. Fig. 71.—Using another slide to spread the Fig. *?2.—The cigarette-paper method. DIAGNOSIS 261 drawn to the opposite end of the lower, and the film dried by-waving. Cigarette paper may be used as follows: Strips about three-fourths of an inch wide are cut perpendicularly to the ribs ofthe paper; the end of one of these strips, the original machine-cut edge, is applied to the blood-drop near the end of the slide,and after a few moments drawn to the opposite end of theslide. Other paper may be employed if cigarette paper is notavailable, but does not answer so well (Fig. 72). If flies gain access to unstained films they will rapidly devourthe blood. Many staining methods have been proposed to demonstratethe malarial parasite in the blood. A common mistake forthe student to make is to attribute bad results to the stain, andto discard a method before he has become familiar with it. Inno branch of pathology is attention to minute details of technicof greater influence upon results, and a method should bethoroughly mastered before
