Abstract
DR. HAWK'S name is well known as an investigator in the subject of physiological chemistry. The present volume testifies to his ability as a teacher of the subject Although there is nothing strikingly original in his presentation of the subject, the book he has produced is free from error, is clearly written, is practical, and sufficiently full for most purposes. The recent work published by Fischer and his colleagues on the question of protein cleavage products1 is given with special fulness; the urine, also, is naturally a subject which occupies considerable space; indeed, nearly half the book is devoted to this important secretion. The volume is admirably illustrated and well printed.
Practical Physiological Chemistry.
By Dr. Philip B. Hawk. Pp. xiv + 416; illustrated (London: J and A. Churchill, 1907.) Price 10s. net.
