Abstract
The author of this monograph which was awarded the quinquennial Samuel D. Gross prize of the Philadelphia Academy of Surgery for 1945 has for many years been interested in the problems of protein metabolism and has contributed extensively to the literature. He presents in this volume an excellent survey and analysis of the progress of the parenteral method of supplying the nutritional requirements of the body not only for maintenance but also for meeting acute deficits. Each of the six nutritional substances—water, salts (electrolytes), protein, carbohydrate, fat and vitamins—is described separately, but their vital interdependence is emphasized. Brief historic surveys in the introduction, and preceding the detailed discussion in several of the chapters are full of interesting items.
