Physiological Chemistry First Edition PDF Download

Excerpt from A Text-Book of Physiological Chemistry: By Olof Hammarsten, Professor of Medical and Physiological Chemistry in the University of Upsala After the appearance of the first Swedish edition of this textbook I was asked by several colaborers abroad to provide a German translation, which was at that time impossible for several reasons. But I found it very difficult to decline a similar proposal which I received from many colleagues after the second edition appeared. I yielded, therefore, to their expressed wishes; bat I found after a time that it was impossible to obtain a translator in this special province of science, notwithstanding the unwearied exertions of my publisher. Nothing remained for me but to undertake the translation myself; hence I ask the readers indulgence for possible idiomatic or orthographic errors. Specialists will at once perceive that the book before them is not a complete or detailed text-book. My intention was merely to supply students and physicians with a condensed and as far as possible objective representation of the principal results of physiologico-chemical research and also with the principal features of physiologico-chemical methods of work. It seems to me that I have followed a common, practical, even if not strictly correct usage in allowing space in this book to the more important pathologico-chemical facts, although I have given the book the title Text-book of Physiological Chemistry. The arrangement of subject-matter, which deviates considerably from that generally followed in text-books, was caused by the manner in which physiological chemistry is studied in Sweden. Here physiologico and pathologico-chemical laboratory practice is obligatory on all students of medicine. In the arrangement of such practical work I continually kept in view that it should not consist of isolated, purely chemical or analytico-chemical problems, bat that always, as far as possible, it should go hand in hand with the study of the different chapters of chemical physiology.
