John Jacob Abel 1857-1938 "published his first article on the substance he had isolated in 1897with A.C. Crawford and in 1899 he christened this blood-pressure-raising hormone "epinephrine" The substance he described however was not the free hormone but a monobenzoyl derivative. This work was the first to give Abel international prominence although in 1900 Jokichi Takamine was able to isolate the hormone without the benzoyl radical. Both assumed of course that they were dealing with a unitary substance. In the years after 1905 Abel completed less elaborate studies of the physiological effects of alcoholic beverages isolated epinephrine from the parotid secretions of the South American roat Bufo agua studied the poisons of the mushroom Amanita phalloides-and even published on the pharmacology of several new cherno-action of phthalein derivatives led to the elaboration of a test for kidney function."

"Vorliegendes Lehrbuch der gerichtlichen Medicin hat der Verfasser zunächst für seine Zuhörer bestimmt welche sich seit einer Reihe von Jahren in jedem Semester aus beiden Facultäten der medicinischen und juristischen um ihn versammeln um die Grundsätze der Medicina forensis vortragen zu hören." "Die Beurtheilung der im Leben noch aufgetretenen Erscheinungen welche auf Vergiftung schließen lassen die Würdigung der an der Leiche vorgefundenen Veränderungen welche möglicher Weise von einem Gifte herrühren können so wie die gehörige Behandlung der Organe und Stoffe welche das Gift enthalten können behufs der Uebergabe an den Chemiker zu weiterer Untersuchung gehören allerdings der Sphäre des gerichtlichen Arztes an: diese sind daher im Lehrbuche erörtert. Dagegen ist von dem eigentlichen chemischen Verfahren hinsichtlich der Ausmittelung des Giftes selbst nur das Allgemeine und von dem Speciellen blos die Arsenik-Vergiftung als die am häufigsten vorkommende aufgenommen und zwar auch nur aus dem Grunde um dem gerichtlichen Arzte und Rechtsgelehrten ein Bild zu geben von Dem was die Chemie bei der gerichtlich-chemischen Untersuchung zu leisten hat. Ist diese vollendet und ihr Resultat dem Arzte übergeben dann tritt erst dieser wieder in seine Rechte ein und giebt sein medicinisches Gutachten auf die Ergebnisse des chemischen Befundes basirt den Gerichten ab. Daß aber die Bearbeitung des chemischen Theils insofern ein solcher nach den eben entwickelten Ansichten in dem Lehrbucbe mit aufgenommen worden von dem lieben Freunde und Collegen des Verfassers Friedr. Wöhler gütigst übernommen worden erkennt nicht allein der Verfasser höchst dankbar an sondern werden mit ihm auch alle Leser dem ausgezeichneten Chemiker Dank wissen.

Small octavo 7 1/2" x 5 1/" rebound with original red cloth decorative blind stamped cover in a gilt chess board spine lettering in gilt. An account of the proceedings and a "Memoir of the British Chess Association" by G W Medley. Bohn's Scientific LibraryBetts: 25-4 Third edition originally published in 1864.<br /><br />Published in the United States by Lippincott Philadelphia and Scribner New York but dates not ascertained. The "memoir" contains reports of the past meetings of the British Chess Association the arrangements for the 1862 congress a general account of the tournament. There follow the 177 games with brief notes and 23 other games including consultation games and a selection from the problem tourney incorporating a number of self-mates and end-game studies. <br /><br />The tournament of 1862 had been promoted by the British Chess Association whose history was as follows: Before modern traveling facilities were invented it had been felt that country clubs were too much isolated. The members played with the same opponents year in and year out; they opted the style and peculiarities of their one best player; enjoyed few opportunities of measuring themselves with those outside their immediate circle and scarcely knew what first-class play really was. This did not suit the views of the enthusiasts and in 1840 a number of zealous Yorkshire players conceived the idea of mustering a number of clubs for what seemed to their minds a grand carnival - a whole day's play. Out of this was developed the Yorkshire Chess Association and from it in due time the British Chess Association. The meeting of 1862 was the eight held under its auspices the seventh having assembled at Bristol a year before. The minimum rate of play was slow twenty moves in two hours but yet it was enacted that the game shall be played out at a sitting. Time was measured by sand-glasses. The chess clock which was first suggested by Blackburne had not yet come into existence. For the first time at this tournament every player played at least one game with each competitor. The prizes were won by Adolf Anderssen £100 Louis Paulsen £50 John Owen £30 George Alcock MacDonnell £15 Serafino Dubois £10 and Wilhelm Steinitz £5 who was awarded the brilliancy prize for his win over Augustus Mongredien.<br /><br /><strong>Condition:</strong><br /><br />Rebound with original boards laid on previous owner's stamp to title else a very good copy.</p> George Bell and Sons hardcover
