COMMENTS. 



Medical Record. — " The whole ground has been so thoroughly covered that nothing 

 is left to be desired. It is sufficient to say now that the present volume contains all 

 the really essential excellences of the greater work, which is thus placed within the 

 reach of the ordinary student who may not be able to purchase the entire series. This 

 service will be especially appreciated by every one who wishes to possess one good 

 book that is up to date, and contains all that is new in its particular department. 1 '' 



Queen's Quarterly. — "This edition is really his large five-volume book revised and 

 condensed so as to bring it within the compass of a single moderately sized volume. 

 The condensation has been achieved by cutting out all the parts on histology. 

 Dr. Foster has also unified the work as a whole by omitting all those theoretical dis- 

 cussions in the larger book which made it read like a succession of articles from the 

 Journal of Physiology. Not that he has excised all theory: there is still plenty of it : 

 bat it is here restrained and kept in its proper perspective in relation to the rest of 

 the book. 11 



Physician and Surgeon. — "Nothing can be said in praise of this great work which 

 is undeserved. Every page bears witness to the zeal and devotion to scientific truth 

 w.'hich have made it a standard authority upon the subject of which it treats." 



' Professor S. W. Williston, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. — "I shall 



be very glad to recommend this edition to my students. I have regretted much that 



lie only full and reliable edition in the late past has been the original English, rather 



po full in some parts and too expensive for the ordinary medical student. I regard 



.Voster as the only physiology for the medical student."
