Here he investigated experi- 

 mentally the atomic theory enun- 

 ciated a few years previously by 

 Dalton. Then he began a study of 

 the compound ethers, which was 

 followed by investigations con- 

 cerning other organic compounds. 

 He established the fact that the or- 

 ganic acids form homologous series, 

 i.e. series which differ from each 

 other in chemical composition by 

 multiples of carbon and hydrogen. 

 He subsequently devoted more at- 

 tention to physiological subjects, 

 such as the phenomena of nutrition, 

 the formation of sugar in the organ- 

 ism, and the composition of blood. 

 In 1869 he lectured on Faraday at 

 the Royal Institution, London. He 

 died at Cannes, April 11, 1884.
