Introduction to Physiological Chemistry.

This, like the first edition, is an excellent textbook for medical students. The general plan of the original edition is adhered to with the addition of a chapter on the source and composition of foodstuffs and another on the composition of milk and certain tissues. Much of the material has been rewritten and extended so as to include the more recent advances, thus resulting in the addition of approximately 100 pages. The work is well indexed and the more important recent observations referred to in the text are made much more valuable by references to the original articles. The author is to be congratulated on his success in presenting so much and so many types of material in a well organized manner without sacrificing style and accuracy too much.
