Notes:

"The author is convinced from perusal of current medical writings in this country that there is need among American physicians for a work presenting the subjects of Digestion and Metabolism in a popular manner, without technical details, and from the standpoint of dynamics rather than from that of analytical statics usually occupied by textbooks of physiological chemistry. He was rewritten in the form of a concise and systematic treatise the substance of his lectures in this field."--Preface.
