ANIMAL CHEMISTRY; OR, CHEMISTRY IN ITS 



APPLICATIONS TO PHYSIOLOGY AND PATHOLOGY. By 

 JUSTUS LIEBIG, M.D., Ph. D., Professor of Chemistry in the University 

 of Giessen. Edited from the Author's MS. by WILLIAM GREGORY, 

 M.D., Professor of Chemistry in the University of Edinburgh. Third 

 Edition, almost wholly re-written. 8vo. Part I. (the first half of the 

 work) Qs. Qd. cloth. 



" Under the heads of animal heat ; of the nutrition of the carnivora andherbivora ; of the origin 

 and use of the bile ; of the relation between the change of matter and the consumption of oxygen ; 

 of the origin and use of the non-nitrogenized elements of food, and particularly of fat, and their 

 relative value as sources of heat ; of the effects of alcohol and fermented liquors ; of the effects 

 produced on the volume of the inspired air by the different articles of food ; and lastly, of the 

 true functions of the intestinal canal, and the origin, nature, and composition of the faeces, with 

 then- relation to the food, and to the supply of oxygen ; under all these heads, the reader will find 

 such an amount of new and interesting matter as must satisfy him that we have entered on the 

 true path of discovery, and that the industry of modern chemists has been most profitably employed 

 during the period which has elapsed since the first edition of this work appeared." From the 

 Editor's Advertisement. 



' While we have given but a very imperfect sketch of this original and profound work, we have 

 endeavoured to convey to the reader some notion of the rich store of interesting matter which it 

 contains. The chemist, the physiologist, the medical man, and the agriculturist will all find in 

 this volume many new ideas and many useful practical remarks. It is the first specimen of what 

 modern Organic Chemistry is capable of doing for Physiology ; and we have no doubt that from 

 its appearance Physiology will date a new era in her advance." Quarterly Review, No. 13Q.

FAMILIAR LETTERS ON CHEMISTRY, SECOND 



SERIES. THE PHILOSOPHICAL PRINCIPLES AND GE- 

 NERAL LAWS OF THE SCIENCE. By JUSTUS LIEBIG, M.D., 

 Professor of Chemistry in the University of Giessen. Edited by JOHN 

 GARDNER, M.D. Foolscap 8vo. 5s. 



" The plan of the Letters is as simple and intelligible as their style. The author sets out with 

 a general consideration of Chemistry ; and of the rank to which it is entitled among the other 

 sciences ; treats shortly of chemical affinity and chemical equivalents, illustrating the symbols and 

 formulae by which these affinities are expressed ; explains the atomic theory ; considers the rela- 

 tions of heat, light, electricity, and gravity to chemical force, and shews wherein these forces differ 

 from what has been called the vital principle ; and lastly discusses the transformations, ferment- 

 ation, putrefaction, and decay whiqh take place in organic bodies when removed from the influence 

 of vitality." Chambers' Journal. 



TURNER'S CHEMISTRY. 



Eighth Edition. Edited by JUSTUS LIEBIG, M.D., Professor of 



Chemistry in the University of Giessen, and WILLIAM GREGORY, M.D., 

 Professor of Chemistry in the University of Edinburgh. Complete in 

 1 volume 8vo. 11. 10s. 



The Work may also be had in Two Parts. 

 PART I. INORGANIC CHEMISTRY. 155. cloth.

" The present is, in short, the most complete and the most luminous system of Chemisty in the 

 English language ; and we know no one in France or Germany that comes near it." Edinburgh 

 Medical and Surgical Journal, Jan. 1, 1847.
