This book contains information on up-to-date microchemical methods for the analysis of blood and spinal fluid.

Such measures were fostered by wartime experiences with scarcity of materials and equipment; photometers and photoelectric colorimeters are only mentioned. The author has made a special point of giving detailed descriptions of all technical procedures and calculations.
