The whole process is to be repeated in exactly the same manner three times, the washings all being very-thorough. The preparation is then dried and mounted in Canada balsam. The micro-organisms and cellular detritus are stained Fig. 303.—Treponema pallidum impregnated with silver. Film prepared from the skin of a macerated, congenitally syphilitic fetus. X 750 diameters (Flex- ner). The dense aggregation of organisms may indicate agglutination. When serum from a primary sore or other syphilitic lesion is; treated by these methods, a number of the treponemas appear well stained and a number very palely stained, so that one is in doubt whether there may be many others unstained, and this seems to be the case, for,when similar smears are treated by other methods many more can be foimd. Stern* has appUed the method of silver incrustation to the ex- amination of films by the following simple procedure: Spreads are made in the usual manner, dried in the air, and then for a few hours in an incubating oven at 37°C. They are next placed in a 10 per cent, solution of nitrate of silver in a colorless glass receptacle and allowed to rest in the diffused daylight of a comfortably lighted room for a few hours, until they become brown- * "Berliner klin.
