Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Recent Advances in Physiology and Bio-Chemistry
This book was designed to set before the student of medicine the progress made in those branches of physiological study which have an immediate bearing on pathology and therapeutics, and to thereby give him an insight into the methods of research, and a' training in the processes of deduction, which cannot be gained from the bare and unstimulating outlines of the text-book. In the text-book all branches of physiology are treated as of equal value; in reality many parts of the science have little bearing on practical medicine, while others are of fundamental importance and cannot be studied too deeply. Some of these latter the Editor and his co-workers have endeavoured to treat in such a manner as to make the student think out problems, rather than to learn facts in a parrot-like way.
