After cutting the sections they are carefullytransferred to a shallow basin of warm water, on which they spreadin thin ribbons. The water must not be hot enough to melt theparaffin, but merely sufficiently so to unfold the sections and spreadthem out smoothly. A glass slide is held underneath the sections,and they are made to float upon the slide. The slide is then with-drawn from the water, the water drained off, and is then placed forseveral hours on the top of an oven or radiator, where the moisture Fig. 24. The uterine cavity exposed. is thoroughly driven from the slide and the section firmly paraffin is dissolved in zylol or chloroform (by which the sectionis ^cleared), and from this point on the staining is carried out inthe usual manner. *■ INSPECTION OF THE UTERUS AFTER REMOVAL. In order that a satisfactory examination rnay be made of theuterus after its removal, the operator should handle and mutilate thespecimen as little as possible.

The body of theuterus is grasped by the left hand. Two incisions are made, asshown in Fig. 24, and the uterus is spread open in such a mannerthat the entire mucosa*will be exposed.
