Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Introduction to Human Physiology
Nor is this all. An acquaintance with at least the existence of frontier interests, and even a participation de tactu with science at its growing surface, cannot be excluded from the laboratories of a medical school without serious and immediate loss to the interests of medicine and of surgery.
With regard to the plan of construction of this book. The chapter headings are intended to serve a double purpose: as a summary or syllabus - being, in fact, the condensed lecture-syllabus that I have used during the last nine years; and as a means of self-examination. A student having read certain paragraphs or chapters, should return to the chapter heading, and find by its re capitulation whether it contains expressions that are meaningless to him, or whether it recalls a series of ideas that he has understood and assimilated. If an unfamiliar technical word is met with, its meaning should be ascertained at some other part of the book, through the index.
