THE ALUMNI JOURNAL. 



chapter on chemical reactions and equations, 

 laws of combination by weight and volume, 

 etc. It also contains many practical exercises 

 for the use of the student in the store or labor- 

 atory. The Non -Metals as well as Metals in 

 chapter III are considered as regards history, 

 occurrence and formation, preparation, prop- 

 erties, uses, detection with an account of the of- 

 ficial preparations and all necessary information 

 relating thereto. Part IV, treats of Organic 

 Chemistry containing an introductory chapter 

 also chapters devoted to open-chain or aliphatic 

 hydrocarbons, derivatives of the same, closed 

 chain groups with less than six carbon atoms, 

 closed chain or aromatic compounds, aromatic 

 compounds containing one nucleus, aromatic 

 compounds with more than one nucleus, alka- 

 loids and ptomaines, the terpenes and their de- 

 rivatives; glucosides, bitter and neutral princi- 

 ples and tissue forming substances or proteid 

 matter. Part V is a consideration of analytical 

 chemistry (qualitative and quantitative) and 

 pharmaceutical assaying. 



The merits of this book are apparent from be- 

 ginning to end. It is difficult to say just what 

 portion is better than another. The matter is 

 put clearly, logically and in a most assimilative 

 manner. The paper, printing and binding are 

 in character with the reading matter, and while 

 it is seldom that The Alumni Journal recom- 

 mends a book to its readers we feel safe in say. 

 ing that as a book on medical and pharma- 

 ceutical chemistry there is no book published 

 anywhere so replete and of so great value either 

 to the pharmacist or physician as this addition 

 to literature. We wish so much that other 

 authors would examine and study this book and 

 then they would understand why their books 

 cannot be recommended and why they must 

 fail absolutely. On the other hand, this work 

 of Sadtler and Trimble is a real contri. 

 bution to the professions of pharmacy and 

 medicine and no one, probably, concerned 

 in these professions ought to be without it.
