Excerpt from Physical Chemistry and Its Applications in Medical and Biological Science
The rapid development which has taken place in Physical Chemistry during the past two decades, and the success which has attended the application of physicochemical principles and methods to the study of problems in Medical and Biological Science, render it of essential importance for students and workers in these departments to become familiar with the chief facts and theories, as well as methods, of Physical Chemistry.
As this Science is not usually included in the curriculum of study imposed on students of the biological sciences generally, it was with pleasure that the writer acceded to a request to give a short course of lectures on the subject, having in view, more especially, the requirements of members of the medical profession. No attempt at completeness has been made, for that would have been impossible in the short space of time available; but rather the desire was to give an elementary introduction to the subject, with the hope of encouraging and facilitating a more systematic and thorough study of physical chemistry on the part of students of medicine and biology.
In compiling these lectures the writer has received much assistance from the books by E. Cohen, Vortrage fur Arzte iiber physikalische Chemie (which has also appeared in English translation); R. Hober, Physikalische Chemie der Zelle und Gewebe; H. Koeppe, Physikalische Chemie in der Medizin; and especially from the standard work by H. J. Hamburger, Osmotischer Druck und lonenlehre in den medizinischen, Wissenschaften; and he desires also to acknowledge the courtesy of the Editor in permitting the lectures to be reprinted from the pages of The Birmingham Medical Review.
