A TREATISE ON HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY. Designed for the use 



of Students and Practitioners of Medicine. Sixth edition, thoroughly revised and enlarged, 

 with three hundred and sixteen illustrations on wood. In one very beautiful octavo vol- 

 ume, of over 800 pages. (Nearly Ready.) 



From the Preface to the Sixth Edition. 



In the present edition of this book, while every part has received a careful revision, the ori- 

 ginal plan of arrangement has been changed only so far as was necessary for the introduction of 

 new material. Although the whole field of physiology has been cultivated, of late years, with 

 unusual industry and success, perhaps the most important advances have been made in the two 

 departments of Physiological Chemistry and the Nervous System. The number and classification 

 of the proximate principles, more especially, and their relation to each other in the process of 

 nutrition, have become, in many respects, better understood than formerly ; though it is evident 

 that this fundamental part of physiology is to receive, in the future, modifications and additions 

 of the most valuable kind. 



The additions and alterations in the text, requisite to present concisely the growth of positive 

 physiological knowledge, have resulted in spite of the author's earnest efforts at condensation, 

 in an increase of fully fifty per cent, in the matter of the- work. A change, however, in the ty- 

 pographical arrangement has accommodated these additions without undue enlargement in the 

 bulk of the volume. 



The new chemical notation and nomenclature are introduced into the present edition, as hav- 

 ing now so generally taken the place of the old, that no confusion need result from the change. 

 The centigrade system of measurements for length, volume, and weight, is also adopted, these 

 measurements being at present almost universally employed in original physiological investiga- 

 tions and their published accounts. Temperatures are given in degrees of the centigrade s ale, 

 usually accompanied by the corresponding degrees of Fahrenheit's scale, inclosed in brackets. 

 NEW YORK, September, 1875. 



A few notices of the previous edition are subjoined. 



The fifth edition of this truly valuable work on 

 Human Physiology comes to us with many valuable 

 Improvements and additions. As a text-book of 

 physiology the work of Prof. Dalton has long been 

 well known as one of the best which could be placed 

 In the hands of student or practitioner. Prof. Dalton 

 has, in the several editions of his work heretofore 

 published, labored to keep step with the advancement 

 5a science, and the last edition shows by its improve- 

 ments on former ones that he is determined to main- 

 tain the high standard of his work. We predict for 

 the present edition increased favor, though this work 

 has long been the favorite standard. Buffalo Med. 

 and Surg. Journal, April, 1872. 



An extended notice of a work so generally and fa- 

 vorably known as this is unnecessary. It is justly 

 regarded as one of the most valuable text-books on 

 the subject in the English language. St. Louit Med. 

 Archives, May, 1872. 



We know no treatise in physiology so clear, com- 

 plete, well assimilated, and perfectly digested, as 

 Dalton's. He never writes cloudily or dubiously, or 

 in mere quotation. He assimilates all his material, 

 and from it constructs a homogeneous transparent 



irgument, which is always honest and well informed, 

 ind hides neither truth, ignorance, nor doubt, so far 

 is either belongs to the subject in hand. Brit. Med. 

 Journal, March 23, 1872. 



Dr. Dalton's treatise is well known, and by many 

 highly esteemed in thiscountry. It is, indeed, a good 

 elementary treatise on the subject it professes to 

 teach, and may safely be put into the hands of Eng- 

 lish students. It has one great merit it is clear, and, 

 on the whole, admirably illustrated. The part we 

 have always esteemed most highly is that relating 

 to Embryology. The diagrams given of the various 

 stages of development give a clearer view of the sub- 

 ject than do those in general use in this country ; and 

 the text may be said to be, upon the whole, equally 

 clear. London Med. Times and Gazette, March 23, 

 1872. 



Professor Dalton is regarded j ustly as the authority 

 in this country on physiological subjects, and the 

 fifth edition of his valuable work fully justifies the 

 exalted opinion the medical world has of his labors. 

 This last edition is greatly enlarged. Virginia Clin- 

 ical Record, April, 1872.
