GROSS & DELBRIDGE’S MEDICAL WORKS. 7 
THE PHYSICIAN’S CHEMISTRY. By C.ir- 
FORD MITCHELL, A. B., M. D., Author of “Stu- 
dent’s Manual of Urinary Analysis,” “Clinical Sig- 
nificance of Urine,” “ Practitioner’s Guide to Urinary 
Analysis.” 1886. 301 pages. Price, $1.50. Post- 
age, 10 cents. 
This book was made for the medical student and physician. The 
aim has been to give much information in as small space as possible, and 
to simplify Chemical Theory so that the beginner can learn to read 
formule without a teacher. 
Professor Mitchell has done a real service in bringing out this book. 
We have examined it at some length, and find it commendable in all 
respects. The theory of inorganic chemistry is followed by a condensed 
statement of all that will usually be required by tne physician concern- 
ing chemical bodies, organic as well as inorganic. The chapter on the 
examination of urine is valuable. The last half of the book is taken 
up chiefly by a well-digested Toxicology and an appendix of important 
chemical memoranda. The book is well printed and bound, and pre- 
sents a very handsome appearance.—Homwopathic Recorder. 
It is well arranged as a practical college text-book, and we are 
pleased to see a work on Chemistry by one of our teachers which may 
with advantage be adopted by at least all our colleges.—AVedical ld- 
vance. 
It is a most excellent ready reference book for the practitioner who 
has but short time at his disposal, and must have the information he 
seeks close at hand.—//omaopathic Physician. 
The author of this practical work has carried out his aim well, in 
giving his information in as small space as possible. He has simplified 
Chemical Theory so that a beginner can understand it. We heartily 
commend the book to practitioners as well as to students.—.V. 2°. Afed. 
Times. 
I shall take pleasure in recommending it to the students of the 
Minnesota Homceopathic Medical College —Prof. S. Francis Brown. 
The work would be a happy substitute for many of the text-books 
in Chemistry now in vogue, with their prolixity of detail and specula- 
tion, and repetition of old and trite and worn-out experiments. We 
commend the Physician’s Chemistry to our readers.— Sv. Louts Periscope.
