  In 
  the 
  

   sixth 
  edition 
  of 
  this 
  popular 
  Practical 
  Physiological 
  Chemistry 
  

   attempt 
  has 
  been 
  made 
  to 
  bring 
  it 
  strictly 
  up 
  to 
  date. 
  This 
  

   is 
  especially 
  true 
  of 
  such 
  chemical 
  phases 
  of 
  the 
  phenomena 
  of 
  

   acidosis 
  as 
  have 
  a 
  bearing 
  on 
  clinical 
  problems. 
  Chapters 
  on 
  

   metabolism, 
  blood 
  analysis, 
  gastric 
  digestion, 
  and 
  quantitative 
  

   analysis 
  of 
  urine, 
  have 
  been 
  considerably 
  extended, 
  and 
  the 
  

   question 
  of 
  growth 
  has 
  been 
  treated 
  experimentally. 
  Consider- 
  

   able 
  change 
  has 
  been 
  made 
  in 
  the 
  procedure 
  for 
  the 
  determina- 
  

   tion 
  of 
  various 
  urinary 
  constituents. 
  Many 
  new 
  figures 
  have 
  

   also 
  been 
  introduced 
  illustrating 
  especially 
  various 
  crystalline 
  

   compounds 
  and 
  various 
  types 
  of 
  new

  This 
  volume 
  1 
  considers 
  the 
  numerous 
  

   morbid 
  conditions 
  of 
  the 
  hard 
  and 
  soft 
  tissues 
  of 
  the 
  oral 
  cavity 
  

   from 
  the 
  histological 
  view 
  rather 
  than 
  the 
  clinical 
  or 
  patholo- 
  

   gical. 
  The 
  book 
  is 
  divided 
  into 
  three 
  parts: 
  I, 
  The 
  dental 
  

   tissues; 
  II, 
  the 
  oral 
  tissues; 
  III, 
  the 
  extra-oral 
  dental 
  tissues. 
  

   There 
  are 
  chapters 
  upon 
  the 
  pathological 
  conditions 
  of 
  each 
  

   of 
  the 
  main 
  dental 
  and 
  oral 
  structures. 
  The 
  author 
  recognizes 
  

   the 
  importance 
  of 
  microbiology 
  to 
  a 
  proper 
  understanding 
  of 
  

   oral 
  hygiene, 
  and 
  gives 
  a 
  painstaking 
  discussion 
  of 
  this 
  phase. 
  

   The 
  book 
  is 
  well 
  printed, 
  and 
  contains 
  numerous 
  illustrations 
  

   that 
  add 
  to 
  its 
  value.
