A modification of Bowie's method for detection of specific granules of the juxtaglomerular apparatus of the human kidneys, fixed in 10% neutral formalin, is suggested. In order to achieve better staining, sections of material fixed in formalin are additionally treated with Helly's liquid and, following the removal of sublimate deposit, with a 2.5% solution of potassium bichromate. After this the sections are stained by Bowie's method in accordance with Pitcock and Hartroft's prescription.
