NOW READY, A NEW EDITION OP DMGLISON'S PHYSIOLOGY^ 



HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY 



WITH THREE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY ILLUSTRATIONS. 

 BY ROBLEY DUNGLISON, M.D., 



PROFESSOR OF THE INSTITUTES OF MEDICINE IN THE JEFFERSON MEDICAL COLLEGE, PHILADELPHIA, 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 import- 

 ance that has been recorded since its publication, has, he believes, escaped his attention. Upwards 

 of seventy illustrations have been added ; and many of the former cuts have been replaced by others. 

 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 is 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 numerous 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 to 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 distinguished 

 than those which have preceded it. In the two years and a half which have elapsed since the last or 

 fifth edition appeared, nothing of consequence that has been recorded seems to have been omitted. 

 Upwards of seventy illustrations have been added, and many of the former cuts have been replaced 

 by others of better execution. These mostly represent the minute structures as seen through the 

 microscope, and are necessary for a proper comprehension of the modern discoveries in this depart- 

 ment. The Medical Examiner.

BY ROBLEY DUNGLISON, M. D. ; 



PROFESSOR OF THE INSTITUTES OF MEDICINE, ETC., IN JEFFERSON MEDICAL COLLEGE, PHILADELPHIA. 



Sixth edition, revised and greatly enlarged. In one royal octavo volume of over 800 very large 

 pages, double columns. Strongly bound in the best leather, raised bands. 



"We think that 'the author's anxious wish to render the work a satisfactory and desirable if not 

 indispensable Lexicon, in which the student may search without disappointment for every term 

 that has been legitimated in the nomenclature of the science,' has been fully accomplished. Such a 

 work is much needed by all medical students and young physicians, and will doubtless continue in 

 extensive demand. It is a lasting monument of the industry and literary attainments of the author, 

 who has long occupied the highest rank among the medical teachers of America." The New Orleans 

 Mvtical and Surgical Journal. 



" The simple announcement of the fact that Dr. Dunglison'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 

 work? that have been ' weighed in the balance and (not) been found wanting.' It has stood the test of 

 experience, and the frequent 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 required by the rapid progress of our science, and the introduction of new terms into 

 our vocabulary. In proof of this it is stated ' that 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 others 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 indispensable Lexicon, 

 in which the student may search, without disappointment, for every term that has been legitimated in 

 the nomenclature of the science.' This desideratum he has been enabled to attempt in successive 

 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." The Ntw York Jour- 

 nal of Medicine.
