Abstract
THIS book claims to cover the organic chemistry required by second-year medical students and by students reading for a general B.Sc. degree ; the claim is not exaggerated. The wants of the former are met by sections on carbohydrates, ureides and purines, proteins and fermentation and enzyme action which occupy nearly a hundred pages, and other sections having physiological bearings deal with hydro-aromatic compounds (terpenes, sterols, etc.), indole derivatives and the alkaloids.
