Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Practical Chemistry for Medical Students
The author has taken advantage of the opportunity offered by the exhaustion of the first edition to. Subject this text-book to a complete revision in regard to minor details while retaining the general scheme of the first edition. An attempt has been made throughout, by frequent references to substances of medicinal importance, to impress on the student that his training in chemistry is a necessary introduction to his later medical studies. It is hoped that the new sections, describing experiments with bread, potatoes, and fats, the fermentation of glucose by yeast, and the action of saliva on starch, will help to arouse the interest of the student in a subject which will well repay him for his work. As the book has been adopted as a text-book for general use in a number of universities and colleges, some additions have been made which, it is hoped, will render it more useful for general students.
