Excerpt from Practical Chemistry for Medical Students
Dr Cumming, who has been in charge of the Medical Practical Chemistry Class in the University for several years, has prepared this book for the use of students attending it. The course outlined requires only the simplest apparatus, and occupies about sixty hours of actual work.
The subject-matter has been selected, not with the view of producing a systematic course of testing or analysis, but rather of familiarising the student with such chemical methods and with the properties of such chemical substances as will be of some utility to him in the later portions of his medical studies. If Practical Chemistry is regarded exclusively from the point of view of mere testing, it loses much of its practical and educational value. If, on the other hand, the student regards the reactions which he performs in the laboratory as illustrative of the most characteristic properties of the substances with which he is working, and if he succeeds in connecting them with the descriptions of substances and reactions as found in his systematic lectures or text-book, he will readily obtain a good grasp of the main facts and principles of chemistry, which now enters so largely into the sciences subsequently studied in the medical curriculum.
