PREFACE TO THE ENGLISH EDITION 



THE great importance of the results obtained by Professor Pawlow, 

 first published in collected form in the Russian language in 

 1897, was soon recognised by PHYSIOLOGICAL INVESTIGATORS all 

 the world over. Hence the Russian edition was quickly followed 

 by others in German and French. 



But the work is of no less value to the PRACTISING PHYSICIAN. 

 To place the matter, therefore, within easy reach of every 

 English speaking medical man it was felt that an English edition 

 was called for. 



In carrying this into effect the translator has had the ready 

 permission of Dr. A. Walther, and also of Mr. J. F. Bergmann, to 

 make use of the German text, a kindness which he desires to 

 gratefully acknowledge . 



The present edition includes the later work of Pawlow on the 

 Physiology of the Bile, Succus Entericus, and Salivary Secretion, 

 together with more recent notes kindly supplied by the author, thus 

 bringing the whole up to date. It also contains two new figures. 



It is to be hoped, therefore, that in its English form the book 

 will be worthy of its distinguished author.
