Excerpt from The Physician's Chemistry The aim of this book is to give much information in as small space as possible. I have tried to simplify Chemical Theory so that the beginner can learn to read and write formulae without a teacher. Barker, Engel, Simon, and Ralfe, have been, among others, my authorities on Inorganic and Organic Chemistry. The chapter on Urinalysis is the result of my own experience as a teacher; much attention is given in this part of the book to causes of confusion and error likely to arise in testing urine. In Toxicology, Tanner, Woodman and Tidy, and Wormley, have been consulted among many others. Notes on cases of poison ing have been given me by Prof. J. H. Buflum, Prof. A. G. Beebe, Prof. N. B. Delamater, Prof. J. R. Kippax, Prof. J. W. Streeter and Prof. A. W. Woodward; I am also indebted for notes on hospital cases to Drs. Percy Bryant and F. B. Day. Dr. Bryant has kindly furnished me with reports of many interesting cases. Drs. M. J. Bliem, W. B. Clarke, F. H. Foster, and Chas. Gatchell, have also communicated valuable information. Prof. Delamater has contributed two pages on the use of electricity in cases of poisoning. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
