MAN, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE REQUIREMENTS

OF PRACTICAL SURGERY AND MEDICINE.

ALEXANDER MACALISTER, M.A., M.D., F.R.S., F.S.A.,

Professor of Anatomy in the University of Cambridge, and Fellow of

St. John’s College; Examiner in Human Anatomy, University of London.

_In Large 8vo. With 816 Illustrations. Handsome Cloth, 36s._

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

“By far THE MOST IMPORTANT WORK ON THIS SUBJECT that has appeared in

recent years, . . . treating its subject THOROUGHLY AND

COMPREHENSIVELY. . . . The histology of the tissues is most ably and

lucidly described.”--_The Lancet._

“THIS SPLENDID VOLUME fills up what was a great want in works on

human anatomy.... We get morphology as a basis, and thread our way

upwards.”--_Saturday Review._

“Contains an enormous amount of valuable matter. . . . A work which

we feel sure will be a _main factor_ in the _advancement_ of

_scientific anatomy_. In addition, we must mention the FINE

COLLECTION OF ILLUSTRATIONS.”--_Dublin Medical Journal._

“Many of the figures are of great beauty. . . . The chapters on the

brain and spinal cord, the ear, and the eye, contain _all that is

really valuable in the most recent researches_.”--_Glasgow Medical

Journal._

“The book bears an unmistakable stamp of erudition and labour, and

will be VALUED both by teachers and pupils AS A WORK OF

REFERENCE.”--_British Medical Journal._

“Dr. Macalister’s extensive knowledge of comparative anatomy enables

him to speak with authority on many interesting but difficult

morphological problems. . . . A VERY ABLE and SCIENTIFIC

treatise.”--_Edinburgh Medical Journal._

HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY

(A TEXT-BOOK OF).

WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO PRACTICAL MEDICINE.

By DR. L. LANDOIS,

PROFESSOR OF PHYSIOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF GREIFSWALD.

_Translated from the Seventh German Edition, with Annotations and

Additions_,

By WM. STIRLING, M.D., Sc.D.,

BRACKENBURY PROFESSOR OF PHYSIOLOGY IN OWENS COLLEGE, AND VICTORIA

UNIVERSITY, MANCHESTER; EXAMINER IN THE UNIVERSITIES of OXFORD,

EDINBURGH, AND LONDON: AND FOR THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE ROYAL COLLEGE

OF SURGEONS, ENGLAND.

In Two Large 8vo Volumes, Handsome Cloth, 42s.

With 845 Illustrations (some in Colours).

FOURTH ENGLISH EDITION.

GENERAL CONTENTS.

Part I.--Physiology of the Blood, Circulation, Respiration,

Digestion, Absorption, Animal Heat, Metabolic Phenomena of the Body;

Secretion of Urine; Structure of the Skin.

Part II.--Physiology of the Motor Apparatus; the Voice and Speech;

General Physiology of the Nerves: Electro-Physiology; the Brain;

Organs of Sight, Hearing, Smell, Taste, Touch; Physiology of

Development.

⁂ Since its first appearance in 1880, Prof. LANDOIS’ TEXT-BOOK OF

PHYSIOLOGY has been translated into three Foreign languages, and passed

through SEVEN LARGE EDITIONS.

The Fourth English Edition has again been thoroughly revised, and a new

feature introduced--that of printing some of the Illustrations in

Colours. The number of figures has also been largely increased, from 494

in the First, to 845 in the present Edition. In order to do full justice

to the coloured illustrations, and to admit of more of the text being

printed in large type, it has been found necessary to put the work once

again in two volumes.

Opinions of the Press.

“So great are the advantages offered by Prof. LANDOIS’ TEXT-BOOK,

from the EXHAUSTIVE and EMINENTLY PRACTICAL manner in which the

subject is treated, that it has passed through FOUR large editions

in the same number of years. . . . Dr. STIRLING’s annotations have

materially added to the value of the work. Admirably adapted for the

PRACTITIONER. . . . With this Text-book at command, NO STUDENT COULD

FAIL IN HIS EXAMINATION.”--_The Lancet._

“One of the MOST PRACTICAL WORKS on Physiology ever written, forming

a ‘bridge’ between Physiology and Practical Medicine. . . . Its

chief merits are its completeness and conciseness. . . . The

additions by the Editor are able and judicious. EXCELLENTLY CLEAR,

ATTRACTIVE, AND SUCCINCT.”--_Brit. Med. Journal._

“The great subjects dealt with are treated in an admirably clear,

terse, and happily-illustrated manner. At every turn the doctrines

laid down are illuminated by reference to facts of Clinical Medicine

or Pathology.”--_Practitioner._

“We have no hesitation in saying that THIS IS THE WORK to which the

PRACTITIONER will turn whenever he desires light thrown upon, or

information as to how he can best investigate, the phenomena of a

COMPLICATED OR IMPORTANT CASE. To the STUDENT it will be EQUALLY

VALUABLE.”--_Edinburgh Medical Journal._

“LANDOIS AND STIRLING’S work cannot fail to establish itself as one

of the most useful and popular works known to English

readers.”--_Manchester Medical Chronicle._

“As a work of reference, LANDOIS and STIRLING’s Treatise OUGHT TO

TAKE THE FOREMOST PLACE among the text books in the English

language. The woodcuts are noticeable for their number and

beauty.”--_Glasgow Medical Journal._

“Unquestionably the most admirable exposition of the relations of

Human Physiology to Practical Medicine that has ever been laid

before English readers.”--_Students’ Journal._

CLINICAL MEDICINE.

A PRACTICAL HANDBOOK FOR PRACTITIONERS

AND STUDENTS.

BY JUDSON BURY, M.D., F.R.C.P.,

Senior Assist. Phys., Manchester Royal Infirmary.

“We may say at once that Dr. Judson Bury has SUCCEEDED WELL. His

book is planned upon RATIONAL LINES, . . . intended for PRACTICAL

SERVICE. . . . His work will take a PROMINENT PLACE amongst books of

its class, and is one, too, to which the clinical student can TRUST,

as being reliable. . . . The illustrations are numerous and

TELLING.”--_The Lancet._

“This Manual is sure AT ONCE to take a FOREMOST PLACE as a guide in

clinical work. . . . Seeks to utilise at the bedside the most recent

researches of the Physiologist, the Chemist, and the Bacteriologist.

. . . Belongs to the same series of Manuals which has given us the

issue of LANDOIS’ ‘Physiology,’ wherein Prof. STIRLING sought to

bring the most advanced Physiology into relationship with clinical

work; and the very valuable treatise of V. JAKSCH on ‘Clinical

Diagnosis.”--_British Medical Journal._

“This is the latest of the splendid Series of Text-books which

Messrs. Charles Griffin & Company have been the means of placing in

the hands of the profession. The volume will maintain the reputation

of its predecessors, and we HEARTILY CONGRATULATE Dr. Judson Bury on

the EXCELLENCE of his book and the STERLING CONTRIBUTION to medical

literature which, in its publication, he has made.”--_Dublin Medical

Journal._

⁂ This work is the result of the special opportunities which London

Practice affords as, probably, the largest field of observation for the

study of Gout. It is based on the experience derived from both Hospital

and Private Practice, each of which furnishes distinctive phases of the

disease.

⁂ The author’s aim is to give a consistent picture of Rheumatism as a

systemic disease presenting one definite set of phenomena, the result,

it is believed, of one single and specific morbid process.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

“The wide subject of the etiology of rheumatism is _carefully

treated_. . . . The discussion of etiology is completed by a _full

analysis_ of the conditions which determine individual attacks.

. . . Dr. Garrod is to be congratulated on having put before the

profession SO CLEAR AND COHERENT an account of the rheumatic

diseases. The style of his work is eminently readable.”--_Lancet._

DISEASES OF THE SKIN

(A TREATISE ON),

With Special Reference to Diagnosis and Treatment, Including

an Analysis of 12,000 Consecutive Cases.

By T. M’CALL ANDERSON, M.D.,

_Professor of Clinical Medicine, University if Glasgow._

PROFESSOR M’CALL ANDERSON’s Treatise, affording, as it does, a complete

_résumé_ of the best modern practice, is written--not from the

standpoint of the University Professor--but from that of one who, during

upwards of a quarter of a century, has been actively engaged both in

private and in hospital practice, with unusual opportunities for

studying this class of disease, hence the PRACTICAL and CLINICAL

directions given are of great value.

Speaking of the practical aspects of Dr. ANDERSON’s work, the _British

Medical Journal_ says:--“Skin diseases are, as is well known, obstinate

and troublesome, and the knowledge that there are ADDITIONAL RESOURCES

besides those in ordinary use will give confidence to many a puzzled

medical man, and enable him to encourage a doubting patient. ALMOST ANY

PAGE MIGHT BE USED TO ILLUSTRATE THE FULNESS OF THE WORK IN THIS

RESPECT. . . . The chapter on Eczema, that universal and most

troublesome ailment, describes in a comprehensive spirit, and with the

greatest accuracy of detail, the various methods of treatment. Dr.

Anderson writes with the authority of a man who has tried the remedies

which he discusses, and the information and advice which he gives cannot

fail to prove extremely valuable.”

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

“Professor M’Call Anderson has produced a work likely to prove VERY

ACCEPTABLE to the busy practitioner. The sections on treatment are

very full. For example, ECZEMA has 110 pages given to it, and 73 of

these pages are devoted to treatment.”--_Lancet._

“Beyond doubt, the MOST IMPORTANT WORK on Skin Diseases that has

appeared in England for many years. . . . Conspicuous for the AMOUNT

AND EXCELLENCE of the CLINICAL AND PRACTICAL information which it

contains.”--_British Medical Journal._

“The work may be regarded as a storehouse of FACTS gathered and

sifted by one whose opinion is entitled to the highest respect, and

we have no hesitation in stating our belief that it has NO EQUAL in

this country.”--_Edinburgh Medical Journal._

“ESSENTIALLY a useful book, clear and graphic in description,

dogmatic and hopeful on questions of treatment.”--_Birmingham

Medical Review._

DISEASES OF THE EYE

(A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON),

BY EDOUARD MEYER,

_Prof. à l’École Pratique de la Faculté de Médecine de Paris,

Chev. of the Leg. of Honour, &c._

Translated from the Third French Edition, with Additions as contained in

the Fourth German Edition,

By F. FERGUS, M.B., Ophthalmic Surgeon, Glasgow Infirmary.

The particular features that will most commend Dr. Meyer’s work to

English readers are--its CONCISENESS, its HELPFULNESS in explanation,

and the PRACTICALITY of its directions. The best proof of its worth may,

perhaps, be seen in the fact that it has now gone through _three_ French

and _four_ German editions, and has been translated into most European

languages--Italian, Spanish, Russian, and Polish--and even into

Japanese.

Opinions of the Press.

“A GOOD TRANSLATION OF A GOOD BOOK. . . . A SOUND GUIDE in the

diagnosis and treatment of the various diseases of the eye that are

likely to fall under the notice of the general Practitioner. The

Paper, Type, and Chromo-Lithographs are all that could be desired.

. . . We know of no work in which the DISEASES and DEFORMITIES of

the LIDS are more fully treated. Numerous figures illustrate almost

every defect remediable by operation.”--_Practitioner._

“A VERY TRUSTWORTHY GUIDE in all respects. . . . THOROUGHLY

Master of Downing College, Cambridge.

_With all the Original Illustrations. Large 8vo, Handsome Cloth, 25s._

⁂ The Publishers have the pleasure to announce that to the English

version of this important Treatise, numerous original ADDITIONS and a

GLOSSARY of the subject have been contributed by the EDITOR, whose

admirable work in this department of research is so well known. These

Additions greatly increase the value of the book to students.

Special attention is also directed to the ILLUSTRATIONS. Many of these

are on a plan peculiarly helpful to the student--the one-half being in

outline, the other filled in.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

“Dr. Hill has enriched the work with many notes of his own. . . .

Dr. Hill’s translation is most accurate, the English is excellent,

and the book is very readable. . . . Dr. Obersteiner’s work is

admirable. He has a marvellous power of marshalling together a large

number of facts, all bearing on an extremely intricate subject, into

a harmonious, clear, consecutive whole. . . . INVALUABLE as a

text-book.”--_British Medical Journal._

“A MOST VALUABLE CONTRIBUTION to the Study of the Anatomy and

Pathology of the Nervous System. We cannot speak too highly of the

ability and skill which Prof. Obersteiner has brought to bear on

this most difficult subject, and of the way in which the whole work

is illustrated.”--_Brain._

“The FULLEST and MOST ACCURATE EXPOSITION now attainable of the

results of anatomical inquiry. The Translation is done by one who is

himself a Master of Anatomy, able not only to follow his author, but

also to supplement him with the results of independent research. Dr.

Hill’s additions add materially to the value of the original. The

work is specially commended to all students of mental science. . . .

The illustrative figures are of particular excellence and admirably

instructive.”--_Mind._

of our present information . . . will be a REAL ACQUISITION to

Students . . . gives all ESSENTIAL POINTS. . . . The TYPOGRAPHICAL

ARRANGEMENT is a chief feature of the book. . . . Secures at a

glance the EVIDENCE on both sides of a theory.”

_The Hospital_ says:--“The Physiologist’s Note-book bears the

hall-mark of the Cambridge School, and is the work of one of the

most successful of her teachers. . . . Will be INVALUABLE to

students.”

_The British Medical Journal_ commends in the volume--“Its admirable

diagrams, its running bibliography, its clear Tables, and its

concise statement of the anatomical aspects of the subject.”

“If a Student could rely on remembering every word which he had ever

heard or read, such a book as this would be unnecessary; but

experience teaches that he constantly needs to recall the form of an

argument and to make sure of the proper =classification of his

facts=, although he does not need a second time to follow the author

up all the short steps by which the ascent was first made. With a

view to rendering the book useful for rapid recapitulation, I have

endeavoured to strike out every word which was not essential to

clearness, and thus, without I hope falling into ‘telegram’ English,

to give the text the form which it may be supposed to take in a

well-kept Note-book; at the same time, space has been left for the

=introduction in MS.= of such additional facts and arguments as seem

to the reader to bear upon the subject-matter. For the same reason

the drawings are reduced to =diagrams=. All details which are not

necessary to the comprehension of the principles of construction of

the apparatus or organ, as the case may be, are omitted, and it is

hoped that the drawings will, therefore, be easy to grasp, remember,

and reproduce.

“As it is intended that the ‘Note-book’ should be essentially a

Student’s book, no references are given to foreign literature or to

recondite papers in English; but, on the other hand, references are

given to a number of =classical English memoirs=, as well as to

descriptions in text-books which appear to me to be particularly

lucid, and the Student is strongly recommended to study the passages

and Papers referred to.”--_Extract from Author’s Preface._

Transcriber’s Notes

This text follows the original work. Inconsistencies in spelling,

hyphenation, capitalisation, etc. have been retained, except as

mentioned below. This applies to chemical compound names as well.

Textual remarks:

Page 13, Footnote [18], Jerome Cardan: also known as Jérôme Cardan,

Girolamo Cardano, Hieronymus Cardanus.

Page 18, Praag van, Leonides: should be Leonides van Praag,

Isidorus. This is the (enlarged) Dutch translation of Werber’s book.

Page 52: reference to the separate article on (the detection of)

Tin: there is no such article in the book.

Page 62, footnote [55]: micro-millimetre should be micro-metre.

Page 175, structural formulas: the original work gives two identical

structural formulas; both are correct, but they do not show the

difference between the two compounds.

Page 192, that of Borussica: possibly a typographical error for

Borussia (Borussica is the adjective).

Page 399, 18·1 mgrms. (·18 grain): at least one of the numbers is

wrong (possibly the second number should be ·28).

Page 507: 6·4 mgmrs. (1 grain): this should probably be either 64

mgrms. or ·1 grain. In the context, the latter seems more probable.

Buchner/Büchner are different persons, both are spelled correctly.

Hofman/Hoffman/Hofmann/Hoffmann, Köhler/Koehler, Liné/Linné,

Pellagra/Pellagri, Schuchardt/Schuchart: possibly these are spelling

variants or typographical errors referring to the same persons.

Kapferschlaeger: should possibly be Kupferschlaeger.

Schaufféle: should possibly be Schauffele or Schäuffele.

The index has been left as in the original work, even though it is

not always alphabetic.

Advertisements: there are some references to pages 35 and 36 of the

advertisements. These pages were not present in the original.

Changes made to the text

Some minor obvious punctuation and typographical errors have been

corrected silently. French accents and German umlauts have been

added or corrected where needed.

Multi-page tables have been combined into single tables; many tables

have been re-arranged.

Structural formulas have been moved to separate lines.

Some sections starting with § were printed as section headers in the

original work; they have been treated as regular numbered sections

here.

Footnotes have been moved to under the paragraph, table, etc. they

refer to.
