Few medical students enter on their course with a thorough understanding of general chemistry; and this fact makes it necessary to devote a large part of the work—more than half—to general chemical principles and the chemistry of the elements. The treatment, however, is specially suited to the requirements of the medical student. The sections dealing with organic and physiologic chemistry include the methods of analysis of the gastric contents, milk and urine. The tests given are such as will be practically useful. While the revision has introduced the most recent methods, it is a little disappointing to find antiquated methods like Ewald's salol test and the use of potassium iodid to determine the absorptive power of the stomach still SN - 0002-9955 M3 - doi: 10.1001/jama.1909.02540470048020 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.1909.02540470048020 ER -
