Since the publication in 1900 of Mallory's anilin blue connective tissue stain, a number of modifications have been proposed. These methods, however, often yield results which are generally unsatisfactory, or else discrepant with regard to the coloration of such elements as red blood corpuscles and bone. In some cases the modifications reveal lack of comprehension of the fundamental principles of the method; in others, the difficulty is caused merely by such practical errors as over-strict adherence to a time stipulation for immersion of sections in the various reagents, failure to avoid exhaustion of the solutions, etc. Without understanding of these points, not even the original Mallory method will yield constant results.The procedure described in this paper and explained in the accompanying notes takes account of the basic principles and results in uniformly well-stained preparations. Mallory's original method consists in staining appropriately fixed sections in acid fuchsin, which confers a more or less uniform red color upon the tissue generally. This stain is then removed from the collagenous fibers by phosphomolybdic acid, which at the same time acts as a mordant for subsequent staining of the same fibers with anilin blue. Orange G mixed with the anilin blue, serves as a stain for myelin sheaths and red blood corpuscles. When successful, connective tissue reticulum, collagenous fibers, mucus, amyloid
