Formerly Asst. Prof, and Demonst. of Chemistry and Chemical Physics, Queen's College, Belfast. 



The Elements of Physiological and Pathological Chemistry. A 

 Handbook for Medical Students and Practitioners. Containing a general account of 

 Nutrition, Foods and Digestion, and the Chemistry of the Tissues, Organs, Secretions and 

 Excretions of the Body in Health and in Disease. Together with the methods for pre- 

 paring or separating their chief constituents, as also for their examination in detail, and 

 an outline syllabus of a practical course of instruction for students. In one handsome octavo 

 volume of 463 pages, with 38 woodcuts and 1 colored plate. Cloth, $3.50. 



This is, we believe, the first complete work of has treated it in a competent and instructive man- 

 the kind in the English language, and may well ner. We cannot recommend a better book than 



the present. In fact, it fills a gap in medical text- 



serve to show what progress is being made in medi- 

 cine. The student, will find condensed in one vol- 

 ume such a store of knowledge as would formerly 

 have cost him much reading to gather. The book 

 will fully repay anyone to read, and every library 

 should have it for reference. New Orleans Medical 

 and Surgical Journal, April, 1885. 



Dr. Charles is fully impressed with the import- 

 ance aud practical reach of his subject, and he 



books, and that is a thing which can rarely be said 

 nowadays. Dr. Charles has devoted much space 

 to the elucidation of urinary mysteries. He does 

 this with much detail, and yet in a practical and 

 intelligible manner. In fact the author has filled 

 his book with many practical hints. Medical Rec- 

 ord, December 20, 18S4. 



HOFFMANN, F., A.M., I>h.I>., & POWER F.B., Ph.D., 



Public Analyst to the State of New York. Prof, of Anal. Chem.in the Phil. Coll. of Pharmacy. 



A Manual of Chemical Analysis, as applied to the Examination of Medicinal 

 Chemicals and their Preparations. Being a Guide for the Determination of their Identity 

 and Quality, and for the Detection of Impurities and Adulterations. For the use of 

 Pharmacists, Physicians, Druggists and Manufacturing Chemists, and Pharmaceutical and 

 Medical Students. Third edition, entirely rewritten and much enlarged. In one very 

 handsome octavo volume of 621 pages, with 179 illustrations. Cloth, $4.25. 



We congratulate the author on the appearance 

 of the third edition of this work, published for the 

 first time in this country also. It is admirable and 

 the information it undertakes to supply is both 

 extensive and trustworthy. The selection of pro- 

 cesses for determining the purity of the substan- 

 ces of which it treats is excellent and the descrip- 



tion of them singularly explicit. Moreover, it 19 

 exceptionally free from typographical errors. We 

 have no hesitation in recommending it to those 

 who are engaged either in the manufacture or the 

 testing of medicinal chemicals. London Pharma- 

 ceutical Journal and Transactions, 1883. 



CLOWES, FRANK, D. Sc., London, 



Senior Science- Master at the High School, Newcastle-under-Lyme, etc. 



An Elementary Treatise on Practical Chemistry and Qualitative 

 Inorganic Analysis. Specially adapted for use in the Laboratories of Schools and 

 Colleges and by Beginners. Third American from the fourth and revised English edition. 

 In one very handsome royal 12mo. volume of 387 pages, with 55 illustrations. Cloth,

RALFE, CHARLES S., M. D., F. R. C. P., 



Assistant Physician at the London Hospital. 



Clinical Chemistry. In one pocket-size 12mo. volume of 314 pages, with 16 



illustrations. Limp cloth, red edges, $1.50. 

 This is one of the most instructive little works 

 that we have met with in a long time. The author 

 is a physician and physiologist, as well as a chem- 

 ist, consequently the book is unqualifiedly prac- 

 tical, telling the physician just what he ought to 

 know, of the applications of chemistry in medi-

 cine. Dr. Ralfe is thoroughly acquainted with the 

 latest contributions to his science, and it is quite 

 refreshing to find the subject dealt with so clearly 

 and simply, yet in such evident harmony with the 

 modern scientific methods and spirit. Medical 

 Record, February 2, 1884. 



CLASSEN, ALEXANDER, 



Professor in the Royal Polytechnic School, Aix-la-Chapelle. 



Elementary Quantitative Analysis. Translated, with notes and additions, by 

 EDGAR F. SMITH. Ph. D., Assistant Professor of Chemistry in the Towne Scientific School, 

 University of Penna. In one 12mo. volume of 324 pages, with 36 illust. Cloth, $2.00. 



It is probably the best manual of an elementary 

 nature extant, insomuch as its methods are the 

 best. It teaches by examples, commencing with 

 single determinations, followed by separations, 



and then advancing to the analysis of minerals and 

 such products as are met with in applied chemis- 

 try. It is an indispensable book for students in 

 chemistry. Boston Journal of Chemistry, Oct. 1878.

Demonstrator of Chemistry in the Medical Department of the University of Pennsylvania. 

 A Manual of Medical Chemistry. For the use of Students. Based upon Bow- 

 man's Medical Chemistry. In one 12mo. volume of 310 pages, with 74 illus. Cloth, $1.75. 

 It is a concise manual of three hundred pages, the recognition of compounds due to pathological
