    may be derived from its text, the student must not omit to learn it. It has not been felt desirable in the present volume to treat of organised materials and their microscopic structures, but some articles of organic materia medica are noticed, which may be tested by methods analogous to those applied to trade chemicals. A chapter on apparatus and manipulation has been intro- duced, to save the necessity of describing processes at length each time they occur. It is hoped that this brief and imperfect handbook will encourage the habit of testing the chemicals used in medicine, and that the habit will in many cases be developed into a higher class of investigation.
