" We think thai the author's anxious wish to render the work a satisfactory and desirable — if not indispen- 

 Bal)le — Lexicon, in which the student may search without disappoinimem for every term that lias been 

 legitimated in ihe nomenclaiure of the science,' lias been fully accomplished. Such a work is much needed 

 by all medical srudenls and youpg physicians, and will doubtless continue in extensive demand. It is a 

 lasting liioiiunieiit of the industry and literary altainmeiits of the author, wlio has long occupied the highest 

 rank among the medical teachers of America" — I'/ie New Orleans Medical and Svrgical Journal. 



"The simple aniinuiicement of the fact that Dr. Duiiglison's Dictionary has reached a sixth edition, is almost 

 as high praise as could be bestowed upon it by an elaborate notice. It is one of those standard works that have 

 been • weighed in the balance and (not) been found wauling' It has stood the test of experience, and the fre- 

 quent calls for new editions, prove conclusively that it is held by the profession and by students in the highest 

 estimation. The present edition is not a mere reprint of former ones; the author has for some time been 

 laboriously engaged in revising and making such alterations and additions as are re(iuired by the rapid pro- 

 gress of our science, and the introduction of new terms into oui vocabulary. In proof of tliis it is stated ' ihat 

 the present edition comprises nearly two thousand five hundred subjects and terms not contained in the last. 

 Many of these had been introduced into medical terminology in consequence of the progress of the science, 

 and olhers had escaped notice in previous revisions.' We think that the earnest wish of the author has been 

 accomplished ; and that he has succeeded in rendering the work 'a satisfactory and desirable— if not indis- 

 pensable— Lexicon, in which the student may search, without disappointment, ibr every term that has been 

 legitimated in the nomenclature of the science.' This desideratum he has been enabled to attempt in suc- 

 cessive editions, by reason of the work not being stereotyped; and the present edition certainly offers stronger 

 claims to the attention of the practitioner and student, than any of its predecessors. The work is got up in 

 the usual good taste of the publishers, and we recommend it in full confidence to all who have not yet supplied 

 themselves with so indispensable an addition to their libraries" — T'he Neiv York Journal of Medicine. 



A NEW EDITION OF DUNGLISON'S HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY. 



HUMAN PHYSIOLOaY, 



WITH THREE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY ILLUSTRATIONS. 

 BY ROBLEY DUNGLISON, M.D., 



PROFESSOR OF THE INSTITUTES OF MEDICINE IN THE JEFFERSON MEDICAL COLLECiE, PinLADELPHIA, ETC. ETC. 



Sixth edition, greatly improved. — In two large octavo volumes, containing nearly 1350 pages. 

 "It is but necessary for the Author to say, that all the cares that were bestowed on the preparation of the 

 fifth edition have been extended to the sixth, and even to a greater amount. Nothing of imporiaiice that has 

 been recorded since its publication, has, he believes, escaped his attention. Upwards of Seventy illustralioii.s 

 have been added; and many of the former cuts have been replaced by olhers. The work, he trusts, will be 

 found entirely on a level with the existing advanced state of physiological science." 



In mechanical and artistical execution, this edition i.s far in advance of any former one. 

 The illustrations have been subjected to a thorough revision, many have been rejected and 

 their places supplied with superior ones, while nutnerous new wood-cuts have been added 

 wherever perspicuity or novelty seemed to require them. 



"Those who have been accustomed to consult the former editions of this work, know with how much 

 care and accuracy every fact and opinion of weight, on the various subjects embraced in a treatise on 

 Physiology, are collected and arranged, so as lo present the latest and best account of the science To such 

 we need hardly say. that, in this respect, the present edition is not less distingui.'^lied than those wliich have 

 preceded it. In the two years and a half which have elapsed since the last or fifih edition appeared, noihing 

 of consequence that has been recorded seems to have been omitted. Upwards of seventy illustrations have 

 lieen added, and many of the former cuts have been replaced by olhers of better execution. These mostly 

 represent the minute structures as seen through the microscope and are necessary for n proper comprehension 

 of Ihe modern discoveries in this department " — The Mtdical Examiner. 



The " Human Physiology" of Professor Duiiglison has long since lakeii rank as one of the medical classics 

 in our language. Edition after edition has been issued, each more perleet than the ia<t, till now we have the 

 €ixth, wiih upwards of seventy new illustrations. 'I'o say that it is by far the best text-book of physiology ever 

 published in this country, is but echoing the general voice of the profession. It is simple and concise in style, 

 clear i-n illustration, and altogether on a level with the existing ailvaiiced state of physiological science. Tha 

 additions to the present edition are extremely numerous and valuable; scarcely a fact worth naming which 

 ^las a lieariog upon the subject seems to have been omitted. All the recent writers on physiology lioih in the 

 French. Garnian and English languages, have been consulted and freely used, and the facts lately revealed 

 through the agency of organic chemistry and the microscope have received a due share of attention As it is, 

 we cordially reeoiBin*'nil the work as in the highest degree indispensable both to students and practitioners 

 of medicine. — New York Journal of Medicine.
