Excerpt from The Problems of Physiological and Pathological Chemistry of Metabolism: For Students, Physicians, Biologists and Chemists
The wide and cordial appreciation with which von Furth"s "Problems" has been met, not alone by his students and clinicians, but by technical scientists in physiology and in pathology as well, is ample reason for its presentation in translated form. The book is based upon, and in the original text is cast in the form of twenty-five lectures addressed to students of biological chemistry, and has as its purpose the presentation of the subject of normal and pathological metabolic chemistry as a broad and connected whole. As a well-prepared and enthusiastic guide, thoroughly conversant with the topography, history, popular activities, spirit and ambitions of the land through which he is conducting a group of thoughtful travellers, seeks to point out the salient features of the landscape and the accomplishments of the people, their successes and their needs, and thus in the end leaves in the minds of the group before him a well-balanced idea of the region, so our author seeks to guide his readers through the living body, following the ingestion of the great types of food, their digestion and absorption, pointing out here and there in the unknown field of intermediate metabolism the little which has become known, indicating their resultants, marking the points of departure of disease, presenting the big facts which we know in connection with the metabolic affections, and at all times suggesting the possibilities of further investigation and of orienting our thoughts into conformity with the general plan of nature"s chemical performances. The book is thus rather a guide to thought than to the technicalities of the laboratory, and in this appeals alike to students, chemists, biologists and physicians.
