Dixon, MD, LL. D, Commissioner of Health No single invention has made pos- sible greater saving of human life than the microscope. Its origin dates back to antiquity. There is every reason to believe that the ancients had some knowledge of the use of thesingle lens. [he compound microscope wes proba- bly invented shortly after the middle ages. The Italisns and the Dutch both claim the discovery. These ancient microscopes were very crude instruments compared with those of today. They were, however, sufficiently powerful to reveal myriads phere as well as in a clear tumbler of water, but they left us to imagine a great unseen living world beyond the power of the new instrument, and that is even so today with our most im- proved microscopes. In the hands of scientists the micro- scope has revealed from time to time a teeming life of bacteria everywhere present. Bome of these minute organ- jstne are the friends aud some the deadly foes of man. Vegetable, and indirectly animal life, depends upon their work. Typhoid fever, tuberculosis, typhus fever, tetanus, and olher disvases are the result of certain of these bacteria which can only be seen by the aid of the microscope. There is evidence, but as yet no positive proof, that they are responsible for musny other diseases, the aetiology of which ls yet unknown.
