At the Chemical Institute we visitfirst the laboratories of Etard and Bertrand,which are used only for research work. Buthere are also the teaching laboratories incharge of Professor Duclaux. The course inbio-chemistry was transferred here from theSorbonne in 1889, and here are given coursesin practical analysis of physiologic and patho-logic products. A number of Americanshave availed themselves of the opportunityoffered for work here. 172 ¥?
