A Text-Book Of Physiological Chemistry For Students Of Medicine And Physicians

By Charles E. Simon

Book Overview

Before biochemistry had a modern name, physicians were already charting the invisible reactions that sustain life. The foundations of clinical chemistry. In A Text-Book Of Physiological Chemistry For Students Of Medicine And Physicians, noted clinician Charles E. Simon offers a clear, systematic account of the chemistry of the human body, written directly for medical students, physicians and clinicians at the dawn of early 20th century medicine. This authoritative physiological chemistry text moves from cells and tissues to organs and body fluids, linking measurable substances to function, dysfunction and diagnosis in a way that still speaks to readers interested in medical physiology and biochemistry today. Part historical physiological chemistry, part practical medical biochemistry textbook, Simon's work captures the moment when bedside observation and laboratory investigation finally intertwined. Discussions of nutrition, excretion and internal secretions sit beside guidance on simple clinical laboratory chemistry and body fluids analysis, offering an indispensable classic medical reference for anyone curious about how human metabolism chemistry was first understood in the clinic. Collectors of classic biochemistry textbooks, as well as general readers drawn to the roots of modern diagnosis, will find both scientific clarity and vivid insight into the practice and teaching of medicine a century ago. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this landmark volume is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure for scientists, students and history-minded readers alike.
