Abstract
THIS book, written by one of the best known of American physiological chemists, first appeared in 1907. Its success is evident from the fact that it is now in its sixth edition, and is due to the clearness and completeness of the practical instructions with which it is packed. It does not pretend to be a complete work of reference, but, though designed for the use of students, it is far too exhaustive for the ordinary student of medicine, who in the few years of his curriculum has to learn so many other subjects, and it is difficult to imagine that the American student can devote more time to physiological chemistry, important as the subject is, than his brother in this country.
Practical Physiological Chemistry. A Book Designed for Use in Courses in Practical Physiological Chemistry in Schools of Medicine and of Science.
By Prof. Philip B. Hawk. Sixth edition, revised and enlarged. Pp. xiv + 661 + vi plates. (London: J. and A. Churchill, 1919.) Price 21s. net.
