Excerpt from A Laboratory Manual of Medical Chemistry: Containing a Systematic Course of ExperimentsThis volume is 'the outgrowth of several years of lab oratory instruction given medical students. The exercises have been used in various forms by seven classes since the organization of the Medical Department. They have been gradually shaped by the peculiar needs of students of medi cine, and by personal visitation and careful study of the laboratories and methods of instruction in nearly all of the leading medical schools of the United States during the years 1893 - 6.Since there is not known to the author a small volume of modern, progressive laboratory exercises, covering the various branches of medical chemistry here presented, it has been decided to put these exercises into permanent form for the use of our own students.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
