Abstract
THE rapid advance which has marked the progress of physiological chemistry in the last twenty years, owing mainly to the remarkable researches of Prof. Emil Fischer, has emphasised the necessity of a sound knowledge of organic chemistry for all students of medicine. But organic chemistry has undergone developments in many other directions, and new compounds have multiplied at a most bewildering rate. It is clearly undesirable for the student of medicine to become acquainted with any large proportion of the hundred thousand compounds which organic chemistry is said to include. He might, after a firm foundation had been laid, study with advantage only those special subjects which come within his sphere of interest. He cannot very well know how to select these for himself, and Prof. Bunge has therefore attempted to do it for him.
