Explore how molecular structure guides disease prevention, control, and cure.
This edition presents the Croonian lectures on how the form of chemicals shapes medical action, from preventing infection to treating illness. It blends chemistry with physiology to show how atoms, radicals, and functional groups influence how medicines work inside the body. The text surveys practical topics in 1889 science: how compounds interact with microbes, how the body handles poisons, and how drugs produce analgesia, anesthesia, or fever reduction. It connects chemical structure to physiological effects, discussing enzymes, Ptomaines, antiseptics, and the metabolism of toxins. Readers will see how oxidation and reduction operate in tissues, how anesthesia affects nerve function, and how the body’s chemistry informs treatment decisions. The work emphasizes the link between theory and clinical practice, guiding readers to understand why certain substances act as medicines and others as hazards.
