Description
A manual of qualitative analysis and of clinical medical chemistry, for physicians and students (1900)
THE success of preceding editions has rendered any material
alterations in plan unadvisable. In the present rewriting, how-
ever, the scope of the work has been enlarged by several added
chapters, as well as by numerous minor additions throughout.
Statements and tests already presented have been critically examined, and, where necessary, revised.
As it now stands, the book presents a synopsis of the Non-
Metals, an outline of Qualitative Analysis with analytical schemes for both simple salts and complex mixtures, tests for the Alkaloids, the principles of Volumetric Quantitative Analysis, a section on the three organic classes of chief physiological interest the Carbohydrates, the Proteids, and the Fats, with a brief description of Ferments and Fermentation. The clinical section of the book treats of the Blood, the Urine, the Sweat, the Saliva, the Gastric Fluid, the Pancreatic Fluid, the Intestinal Fluid, Bile, Milk, and Water. This section is written in more detail, and includes, with the clinical tests possible with limited laboratory equipment, some of the more elaborate and exact methods used in advanced research. The Appendix, together with tables of Weights and Measures, contains a list of the Acid Radicals, a list of the Common Salts arranged according to solubility, a list of Reagents, with formulae and methods of preparation, and, finally, a complete list of the Poisons and Methods of Treatment.
