Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Chemical Physiology No apology is necessary in presenting to the American medical public the work of one so widely known and universally acknowledged as an authority as Professor Lehmann. In so doing, however, I am surrounded with more than ordinary difficulties. A correct English translation of a German work is no easy task; but when the original is not a full discussion of the subject considered, but as compressed a statement of facts as is compatible with clearness, the difficulty of avoiding idiomatic expressions is greatly increased. From Dr. Lehmann's views of the forces operative in living organisms, I must express my dissent. Dr. Jackson has been kind enough, at my request, to prepare an article on these views, stating the doctrines which he has so ably advocated for many years. To adapt the work for the use of students of physiology, I have incorporated in the text additional matter (derived mainly from notes on Dr. Jackson's Lectures, Carpenter's Human Physiology, Todd and Bowman's Physiological Anatomy, Kolliker's Microscopic Anatomy, &c.), of a more purely physiological nature, which will be found included in brackets, thus [ - ]. Short notes have also been added, in the shape of an Appendix, on kindred subjects not treated of by the author; and illustrations selected from various sources have been introduced, instead of referring, as the author has done, to the "Atlas of Physiological Chemistry, by Otto Funke."
