Excerpt from Lectures on Chemical Pathology: In Its Relation to Practical Medicine; Delivered at the University and Bellevue Medical School, New York City The Lectures which make up this volume were delivered at the University and Bellevue Hospital Medical College during the Sessions of 1899-1900 and 1900-1901. I publish them in the hope that they will prove useful to students and practitioners of medicine who have not had the opportunity to keep in touch with modem research in the field of Chemical Pathology. I have aimed only to sketch the leading characteristics of the physiological and pathological processes that have come under discussion, without describing these processes fully or systematically. It has been deemed best to omit some topics of importance which were presented in the Lectures, for example, the pathological chemistry of gall-stones and of fat necrosis of the pancreas. The short list of references at the end of each Lecture is designed to put the reader on the track of the most significant literature.
