Book excerpt: Excerpt from Animal Chemistry With Reference to the Physiology and Pathlogy of Man The 'Chemistry of Man' was preceded by a volume entitled 'Chemistry of the Proximate Constituents of the Animal Body, ' which, being in fact a distinct work, (containing upwards of 500 closely printed pages, ) it has been deemed unadvisable to translate in its original form. A brief introduction, in a great measure based upon it, has been drawn up by myself, with the view of facilitating the perusal of the work to those who have not paid much attention to the recent progress of organic chemistry: and having written it with this object, I have intentionally excluded many topics which some of my readers may consider should have found a place there. The following sketch of the life and writings of the author, brief though it be, cannot be read without interest. It affords a striking illustration of the results that combined energy and talent are capable of evolving. Franz Simon was the son of a surgeon residing at Frankfort on the Oder, and was born on the 25th of August, 1807. He distinguished himself at a very early age as a skilful apothecary; and, in volume 32 of 'Brande's Archiv.' we find his essay on the preparation and properties of tinctures, to which one of the Hagen-Buchholz prizes was awarded in 1829. Even in this essay we can trace the germs of some of his future speculations in physiological chemistry. The following year he obtained the first prize (the gold medal) for his essay on the best method of preparing infusions and decoctions (Brande's Archiv., vol. 35, ) a treatise equally remarkable for the extreme accuracy and care with which his experiments were conducted, and for the judgment displayed in his conclusions.
