A COURSE OF 



PRACTICAL CHEMISTRY 



ARRANGED FOB 



THE USE OF MEDICAL STUDENTS. 



THIS work is well known by name to students of the medical profession. 

 It has long been out of print; and second-hand copies, which are constantly 

 in demand, are rarely to be met with. The Author has therefore thoroughly 

 revised his work, and brought the practical information which forms its 

 basis up to the existing state of chemical science. 



The arrangement of this Course is based upon an experience of fourteen 

 years' laboratory teaching. The subjects treated of in the four chapters 

 into which the work is divided are Chemical Manipulation, General Qualita- 

 tive Analysis, Toxicological Chemistry, and Animal Chemistry respectively. 

 Full instructions are given in the last chapter for the examination of 

 Healthy and Morbid Urine, Urinary Deposits, Calculi, &c. 



Select Opinions 



'Tins is the second edition of a 

 good book now greatly enlarged and im- 

 proved. It is said to be specially arranged 

 for the use of medical students, but, we need 

 hardly say, it is equally well adapted for 

 pharmaceutical chemists, and is indeed an 

 excellent introduction to analysis for any 

 students. It is worth mentioning that the 

 old scale of atomic weights has been exclu- 

 sively employed throughout the body of the 

 work ; and that a very useful chapter on 

 Chemical Manipulations, which greatly in- 

 creases the value of the book, now precedes 

 the analytical part.' CHEMICAL NEWS. 



'DR. ODLING'S Practical Course is 

 admirably adapted for the guidance of 

 students of PHARMACY, it is also by far the 

 best laboratory guide for the student of 

 MEDICINE that has come under our notice. 

 Those who have read anything from the 

 pen of Dr. ODLING need not be informed 

 that it is extremely well written. The book 

 is furnished with an excellent index, and is 

 illustrated with seventy woodcuts of micro- 

 scopic preparations and chemical apparatus, 

 all of them engraved expressly for the work 

 from drawings of the actual objects.' 



CHEMIST and DRUGGIST. 



' DR. ODLING has greatly enlarged 

 and improved the new edition of his work, 

 and arranged it specially for the use of 

 medical students. The introductory section 

 on chemical reactions calls for high praise 

 as a clear and simple account of them ac- 

 cording to the improved philosophy of 

 modern chemistry, in developing and enun- 



of this Edition. 



ciating which Dr. ODLING has stood promi- 

 nently f urward. A section on manipulation 

 has also been introduced in this edition, 

 fully illustrated with excellent woodcuts, 

 and one of the best short articles we have 

 read on this subject. The chapters on an- 

 alytical , tpxicological , and animal chemistry 

 have received many additions and improve- 

 ments. Besides the illustrations of chemical 

 apparatus, several others of microscopical 

 preparations are also inserted. The old 

 atomic weights are still used in the work ; 

 but with this exception modern formulae 

 are employed (with the old f ormulas added 

 when necessary), and many of the recent 

 improvements in nomenclature. As a work 

 on practical chemistry, Dr. ODLING'S book 

 in its present form supplies every want of the 

 junior medical student in an admirable 

 manner.' MEDICAL TIMES. 



' As a teacher of chemistry of many 

 years' standing, there are few professors 

 better qualified for the task of writing such 

 a work than Dr. ODLING, intimately and 

 practically acquainted as he is with all the 

 requirements of the student. It must be a 

 very difficult thing for a practical chemist 

 to write a small book ; for out of the abun- 

 dant stores of his own knowledge and ex- 

 perience he must feel constantly tempted to 

 dilate upon many parts of his subject; 

 and it is not one of the least merits of 

 Dr. ODLING, that he should have resisted 

 this temptation and have produced a work 

 remarkable for conciseness, clearness, exac- 

 titude, and thorough adaptation to the end 

 in view namely, the special use of the 

 medical and chemical student.' LANCET.
