Scientific paper

OUR attention has been directed to a book called ``Microbe Hunters'' recently published by Messrs. Harcourt, Bruce and Company, New York, and alleged to have been written by one Paul de Kruif-a gentleman whose name is quite unknown to us. The work evidently aims at being a kind of popular history or rather romance regarding medical discovery, and mentions us among others. We should like an opportunity to say, for the information of readers of NATURE, that the author's statements about ourselves and our researches are almost entirely apocryphal; that they are not supported by reference to the original literature; that they are largely imaginative or spurious; and that his knowledge of the subjects with which we have been concerned is obviously incomplete.
