Practical Organic and Bio-chemistry

Abstract

THIS work is a development of the author's “Practical Physiological Chemistry,” which had been used by him for teaching purposes for some years. New sections on organic chemistry and the organic substances found in plants have been added, and the work thus rendered much wider in scope, whilst the inclusion of many of the less familiar experimental methods has made it of greater value to the advanced student or investigator. As now presented the book appeals to a very wide audience. The student of medicine, for whom, even in its expanded form, it is still primarily intended, will find in it instruction on every point of practical organic or physiological chemistry which is likely to be of use to him, and may, if he think fit, advance much further in these subjects than is at all usual. At the same time, workers in every branch of biochemistry will find a considerable amount of information, not only concerning the fundamental substances which form the chemical basis of all living organisms, but also, with few exceptions, dealing with that section of the subject in which they are specially interested.
