Excerpt from Text-Book of Medical: Chemistry for Medical and Pharmaceutical Students

This book is designed especially as a text-book for medical students during their attendance upon lectures. It is believed, however, that it will be found of use to the physician, as a book of ready reference. It is the result of the author's experience as a teacher of Chemistry, during the past twelve years, and its plan, and much of the subject matter, are essentially that given by him in his lectures at the Long Island College Hospital, for the last six years.

While there are numerous good text-books on Chemistry in the market, the medical student often complains that they are either too voluminous for his limited time, and contain a great deal of matter not directly bearing upon the science of medicine, or, on the other hand, are too brief to be of any service to him. It has been the aim, in preparing this book, to avoid these extremes and fill the gap now existing between them.

The plan of the work required a careful selection from the mass of material at hand. The book is largely a compilation, and the author claims little originality in the subject matter it contains, but has used his own judgment in its selection and arrangement.

From the large number of subjects treated, it has been necessary to be very brief in the descriptions of individual substances, but all general principles, and the relations of the facts of the science to medicine have been more fully stated. Much pains has been taken to condense the matter as much as is consistent with clearness.

In Part I are presented such fundamental facts in Chemical Physics, as seemed necessary for the proper understanding of the descriptive parts, and to explain the theory and use of thermometers, the spectroscope, medical batteries, etc.
