A MANUAL OF PHYSIOLOGY. Second American, from the second and 

 improved London edition. With one hundred and sixty-five illustration?. In one large and 

 handsome royal 12mo. volume, pp. 550. (Just Issued.) 



In the present edition, the Manual of Physiology 

 has been brought up to the actual condition of the 

 science, and fully sustains the reputation which it 

 has already so deservedly attained. We consider 

 the work of MM. Kirkes and Pnget to constitute one 

 of the very best handbooks of Physiology we possess 

 presenting just such an outline of the science, com- 

 prising an account of its leading facts and generally 

 admitted principles, as the student requires during 

 his attendance upon a course of lectures, or for re- 

 ference whilst preparing for examination. The text 

 is fully and ably illustrated by a series of very supe- 

 rior wood-engravings, by which a. comprehension of 

 some of the more intricate of the subjects treated of 

 is greatly facilitated. Am. Medical Journal. 



We need only say, that, without entering into dis- 

 cussions of unsettled questions, it contains all the 

 recent improvements in this department of medical 

 science. For the student beginning this study, and 

 the practitioner who has but leisure to refresh his 

 memory, this book is invaluable, as it contains all 



that it is important to know, without special details, 

 which are read with interest only by those who 

 would make a specialty, or desire to possess a criti- 

 cal knowledge of the subject. Charleston Medical 

 Journal. 



One of the best treatises that can be put into the 

 hands of the student. London Medical Gazette. 



The general favor with which the first edition of 

 this work was received, and its adoption as a favor- 

 ite text-book by many of our colleges, will insure a 

 large circulation to this improved edition. It will 

 fully meet the wants of the student. Southern 

 Med. and Surg. Journal. 



Particularly adapted to those who desire to pos- 

 sess a concise digest of the facts of Human Physi-

This work should be carefully studied by Southern 

 physicians, embodying as it does the reflections of 

 an original thinker and close observer on a subject 

 peculiarly their own. Virginia Med. and Surgical 

 Journal. 



The author had prepared us to expect a treatise 

 from him, by his brief papers on kindred topics in 



the periodical press, and yet in the work before us 

 he has exhibited an amount of industry and learning, 

 research and ability, beyond what we are accustomed 

 to discover in modern medical writers ; while his 

 own extensive opportunities for observation and 

 experience have been improved by the most laudable 

 diligence, and display a familiarity with, the whole 

 subject in every aspect, which commands both our 

 respect and confidence. As a corrective of prevalent 

 and mischievous error, sought to be propagated by 

 novices and innovators, we could wish that Dr. La 

 Roche's book could be widely read. N. Y. Medical 

 Gazette.
