Excerpt from Physiological Chemistry, Vol. 2 Notwiths'i'anding my earnest desire to include the whole of my materials in the present volume, I have been compelled to devote it exclusively to the Animal Juices, and to postpone the chemistry of the animal tissues and organs, and the consideration of the zoo-chemical processes, to a third volume. In discussing the chemical characters and the composition of the animal tissues, I shall include the recent investigations regarding the paren chymatous fluids of the animal body. Liebig's examination of the juice of flesh has afforded an admirable model, which has already stimulated other chemists to pursue similar courses of inquiry. The third and concluding volume, which will appear in the course of the present year, will embrace histo-chemistry and zoo-chemical Processes generally, with especial reference to Digestion, Respiration, and Nutrition.
