A Laboratory Manual Of Physiological Chemistry Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from A Laboratory Manual of Physiological and Pathological Chemistry: For Students in Medicine I am very much pleased that Dr. Orndorff has taken upon himself the translation into English of the second edition of my book "Practicum der physiologischen und pathologischen Chemic." The exact knowledge of German which Dr. Orndorff has acquired by long residence in Germany, together with his well-known scientific qualifications, guarantees a correct translation. That part of the book dealing with inorganic chemistry has not been translated, as the students in medicine in America have usually completed a required course in qualitative analysis before they take up organic and physiological chemistry. In the description, moreover, of the Kjeldahl method of determining the amount of nitrogen in organic substances, the modification adopted by the "Association of Official Agricultural Chemists of the United States," which is the one generally used in America, has been given. It has therefore also seemed expedient to omit the Schneider-Segen method. A number of errors in the German edition have been corrected in this translation; and some additions and changes have been made, those due to Dr. Orndorff being indicated in foot-notes. The tables of specific gravities given are the most accurate that have been published. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
