Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lecture Introductory to the Course of Medical Chemistry in the Medical Department of Pennsylvania College, Philadelphia: For the Session 1844-45
I propose, in this my inaugural lecture, to introduce you to the course of instruction by pointing out a few of the more important relations, which chemistry bears to the science of medicine. The medical student, without due consideration, is apt to look upon chemistry as not only too difficult of study, but irrelevant to the profession in which he is engaged. It will, therefore, be well to undeceive him at the very threshold of the science, and convince him how fatal is the error that leads him to neglect it.
