    NOTE. I would beg leave to refer the chemical as well as the physiological reader particularly to the analyses (in Note (27), Appendix) of the animal tissues, which ought to have been referred to on pages 43 and 126, and which at present are only referred to in Note (7). Since the work was printed, moreover, there has been added, at the end of the Appendix, an interesting paper by Keller (see page 325), confirming the very important ob- servation of A. Ure, junior, as to the conversion of benzoic acid into hippuric acid in the human body; a fact which I perceive, by the Philosophical Maga- zine for June, has also been confirmed by Mr. Gar- rod, probably at an earlier period than by M. Keller. The reader will perceive that this fact strengthens materially the argument of the Author on the action of remedies. W. G.
