Quantitative Laws in Biological Chemistry

UNTIL recently, elementary Greek was considered a necessary part of medical education, though it was scarcely possible to justify its inclusion on the ground of utility. Higher mathematics may well take its place, for it becomes increasingly plain that a real working knowledge of it will soon be indispensable for the student of biology or medicine, whether he is content' to follow modern developments or aspires to aid its progress. The present work, Arrhenius's latest con tribution to the science, is convincing proof of this tendency.Quantitative Laws in Biological Chemistry.By Dr. S. Arrhenius. Pp. xi + 164. (London: G.
