J^ALTON (J. C.}, M.D., 



Professor of Physiology in the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, &c. 



A TREATISE ON HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY, Designed for the use 



of Students and Practitioners of Medicine. Third edition, revised, with nearly three hun- 

 dred illustrations on wood. In one very beautiful octavo volume, of 700 pages, extra cloth, 

 $5 25 ; leather, $6 25. 



" In the present edition of this work the general plan and arrangement of the two former ones 

 are retained. The improvements and additions which have been introduced consist in the incor- 

 poration into the text of certain new facts and discoveries, relating mainly to details, which have 

 made their appearance within the last three years." Author' 1 s Prefafa. 



The rapid demand for another edition of this work sufficiently shows that the author has suc- 

 ceeded in his efforts to produce a text-book of standard and permanent value, embodying within 

 a moderate compass all that is definitively and positively known within the domain of Human 

 Physiology. His high reputation as an original observer and investigator is a guarantee that in 

 again revising it he has introduced whatever is necessary to render it thoroughly on a level with 

 the advanced science of the day, and this has been accomplished without unduly increasing the 

 size of the volume. 



No exertion has been spared to maintain the standard of typographical execution which has 

 rendered this work admittedly one of the handsomest volumes as yet produced in this country. 



We believe we fully recognize the value of Draper 

 and Dunglison, Carpenter and Kirkes, and Todd and 

 Bowman, and yet we unhesitatingly place Dalton at 

 the head of the list, for qualities already enumerated. 

 In the important feature of illustration, Dalton's work 

 is without a peer, either in adaptedness to the text, 

 simplicity and graphicness of design, or elegance of 

 artistic execution. Chicago Med. Examiner. 



In calling attention to the recent publication of the 

 third edition of this book, it will only be necessary 

 to say that it retains all the merits and essentially the 

 same plan of the two former editions, with which 

 every American student of medicine is undoubtedly 

 familiar. The distinguished author has added to the 

 text all the important discoveries in experimental 

 physiology and embryology which have appeared 

 during the last three years. Boston Med. and Surg. 

 Journal, June 30, 1864. 



The arrangement of the work is excellent. The 

 facts and theories put forward in it are brought up to 

 the present time. Indeed, it may be looked upon as 

 presenting the latest views of physiologists in a con- 

 densed form, written in a clear, distinct manner, and 

 in a style which makes it not only a book of study- 

 to the student, or of reference to the medical practi- 

 tioner, but a book which may be taken up and read 

 with both pleasure and profit at any time. Canada 

 I-fed. Journal, October, 1864. 



In Dr. Dalton's excellent treatise we have one of 

 the latest contributions of our American brethren to 

 medical science, and its popularity may be estimated 

 by the fact that this, the second edition, follows upon 

 the first with the short interval of two years. The 

 author has succeeded in giving his readers an exceed- 

 ingly accurate and at the same time most readable 



re-?um6 of the present condition of physiological 

 science ; and, moreover, he has not been content with 

 mere compilation, but has ably investigated the func- 

 tions of the body for himself, many of the original 

 experiments and observations being of the greatest 

 value. London Med. Review. 



This work, recognized as a standard text-book bj 

 the medical schools, and with which the members of 

 the profession are so familiar, demands, bat a brief 

 notice. Its popularity is attested by the rapidity 

 with which former editions have been exhausted. 

 Chicago Med. Journal, April, 1864. 



To the student of physiology, no work as yet pub- 

 lished could be more satisfactory as a guide, not only 

 to a correct knowledge of the physiological subjects 

 embraced in its limits, but, what is of far greater 

 importance, it will prove the best teacher of the modes 

 of investigation by which that knowledge can he 

 acquired, and, if necessary, tested. The Columbus 

 Review of Mad and Surgery. 



Until within a very recent date, American works 

 on physiology were almost entirely unknown in Ea- 

 ,rope, a circumstance solely due to the fact of their 

 being little else than crude compilations of European 

 works. Within the last few years, however, a great 

 change has taken place for the better, and onr friends 

 on the other side of the Atlantic can now boast of 

 possessing manuals equalled by lew and excelled by 

 none of our own. In Dr. Dalton's treatise we are 

 glad to find a valuable addition to physiological lite- 

 rature. With pleasure we have observed throughout 

 the volume proof of the author not being a mere 

 compiler of the ideas of others, hut an active laborer 

 in the field of science. The, Brit, aud For. Mvdico- 

 Chirurgioal Review.
