Excerpt from Simplified Bio-Chemistry Bio-chemistry means life-chemistry. Taken literally means, that branch of science, which treats of the composition of living substances in both man and animal, and of the pro cesses of their formation. Today we find the definition of Bio chemistry has resolved itself into a science, which treats of the composition of the bodies of animals and vegetables, the pro cess by which the different fluids and tissues are formed, the nature and causes of the abnormal conditions called disease, and the restoration of health by supplying to the body the deficient minerals. The chemical composition of nearly every fluid and tissue in the human body has long been known, but until Bio-chemistry was introduced, no practical use had been made of this knowledge in the treatment of the sick.

Excerpt from Biochemistry: A Study of the Origin, Reactions, and Equilibria of Living Matter This book deals intensively with certain of the properties of living matter. It is not meant to be a general textbook on the subject, but to give some prospect of the origin and reactions and balances of living matter. Textbooks by the score already exist describing the details of the anatomy, so to speak, of living matter, but few treatises deal in a fundamental manner with the physiology, or work, of live things. In all chemistry, and, indeed, in all biology, there 'exist these two sides, the structural and the functional, the anatomical and the physiological. The two aspects cannot by any means be divorced, for structure and function go hand in hand, and variations in structure precede and are impelled by variations in function. So evolution of the more complex from the more simple proceeded since first life appeared in the world. It is, however, possible to decide for a school which branch it intends to study; and since the majority of schools in this country have chosen the anatomical side, to restore somewhat the balance, the school of Biochemistry at Oxford will choose the functional side. The book is somewhat composite in character, but it is hoped that it will gain rather than lose interest on that account. The two, Opening chapters were written before the experiments detailed in the six following chapters were carried out. They. Have here been recorded as originally written, and the thoughts expressed in them led to the succeeding experiments; thus there are placed on record the evolution and progress of a research.

Excerpt from The Simple Carbohydrates and the Glucosides Twenty-eight years ago the late Sir john Burdon Sanderson described one of the aims of Physiology as the acquirement of an exact knowledge of the chemical and physical processes of animal life. The recent history of physiological progress shows that investigations confined to the study of physical and chemical processes have been the most fruitful source of physiological advance, and it is principally the exact chemical study of the substances found in animals and plants which has enabled the physiologist to make this advance. The last decade has seen very material progress in our knowledge of the carbohydrates, more particularly with regard to their inner structure, biochemical properties, and the mechan ism of their metabolism. In consequence, many problems of the greatest fascination for the biochemist have presented themselves for solution. This monograph aims at giving a summary Of the present position of the chemistry of the carbohydrates. The reader is assumed to be already acquainted with the subject so far as it is dealt with in the ordinary textbooks. The available information is, however, so widely scattered in the various scientific periodicals that it is impossible for any one approach ing the subject to inform himself rapidly of what has been done. It is to meet such needs that this monograph is primarily intended. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
