Azor Thurston Pharmaceutical and Food Analysis

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Mr. Thurston's conception of a text book on chemistry to meet the needs of chemists engaged in the analysis of foods and drugs has appealed to me. His ideas of the incontrovertible data - the backing needed by chemists engaged in such analysis - were born of experience long and intensely practical. In this assemblage of data, which he built up around him, and with which he fortified himself in his work, I, an onlooker, find, at the close of his life of uprightness and usefulness, factors that contributed so highly to his success. The pages of this book contain the very essence of all that others know on the subjects treated. And to the knowledge of others Mr. Thurston has liberally contributed from his own.<br><br>As a friend of the author I have had real pleasure in assisting the publishers in the final preparation of the pages.
