‎----- PREMIERE EDITON FRANCAISE parue la même année que l'édition originale allemande, traduite par Charles GERHARDT ---- "First classification of the organic foodstuffs and the processes of nutrition. With this book Liébig introduced the concept of metabolism into physiology". (GARRISON N° 677 1st german ed.) ---- "Liébig, one of the founders of modern physiological chemistry, made a number of discoveries in inorganic chemistry and introduced new techniques and methods of analysis in organic chemistry. He discovered hippuric acid, chloral, and chloroform, studied the action of uric acid, and developed a method of estimating urea. His book on applying the principles of organic chemistry to physiology and pathology was the first to be written on that subject and also introduced the concept of metabolism".
