A text-book of medical chemistry and toxicology. By James W. Holland, 

 emeritus prof. of med. ehem. and toxicol. ; dean, Jefferson Med. Coli., Phila. 

 4th ed. Pp. 678 — 4x6^4; $3-00. W. B. Saunders Co., Phila. and London, 1915. 

 This excellent volume continues to present in systematic form the essentials of 

 chemistry as they are related to practical and scientific medicine. The book is 

 primarily intended for students of medicine who are required to take, in medical 

 schools, courses in inorganic, organic and physiol. ehem., and in toxicology. In 

 the revision successful effort was made to give a thoroly satisfactory presenta- 

 tion of the " aid now offered to diagnosis by the ehem. laboratory." The author 

 acknowledges his indebtedness to Prof. P. B. Hawk, and Messrs. M. A. Saylor 

 and Olaf Bergeim, " for helpful suggestions in this revision."
