Abstract
THESE volumes, comprising the fourth edition, are intended to provide for courses in chemistry, dental metallurgy, dental materia medica and physiological chemistry for dental students, and have been written primarily to meet the requirements of American students. Nevertheless the methods adopted are sufficiently general to appeal to wider interests. The sections on microchemical analysis and physiological chemistry are to be noted specially, particularly Chap, xviii. on saliva. The subject matter for these sections has been selected with special reference to dental problems, and is quite likely, from the method adopted, to stimulate a desire on the part of the student to learn more of the subject generally. The chapter on tooth decay, being a readable summary of the present state of knowledge of the subject, may be recommended to others besides dental students.
