Now Ready, Carpenter's New Work. 



A KAWUAIi, OR, ELEMENTS OF PHYSIOLOGY, 

 IJTCLUDIJirG PHYSIOLOGICAL JLJTJL TO JUT **, 



FOR THE USE OF THE MEDICAL STUDENT. 



BY WILLIAM B. CARPENTER, M.D., F.R.S., 



FCLLBRIAN PROFESSOR OF PHYSIOLOGY IN THE ROYAL INSTITUTION OF GREAT BRITAIN, ETC., 



With one hundred and eighty illustrations. In one octavo volume of 566' pages. Elegantly printed 

 to match his a Principles of Human Physiology." 



This work, though but a very short time published, has attracted much attention from all engaged 

 in teaching the science of medicine, and lias been adopted as a text book by many schools throughout 

 the country. The clearness and conciseness with which all the latest investigations are enunciated 

 render it peculiarly well suited for those commencing the study of medicine. It is profusely illustrated 

 with beautiful wood engravings, and is confidently presented as among the best elementary text 

 books on Physiology in the language. 



"The author has shown singular skill in preserving so marked a line of distinction between the 

 present Manual and the ' Principles of 1 physiology' previously published by him. They are both on 

 precisely the same subject; but the one is neither a copy, nor an abstract, nor an abridgment of the 

 other. In one thing, however, they are exactly alike in their general excellence, and in thejir per- 

 fect adaptation to their respective purposes. The reputation of Dr. Carpenter as a phj siologist is too 

 well established throughout the whole medical world to admit of increase from any commendation 01" 

 ours; but we should be doing injustice to our own feelings if we did not here express our admiration 

 of his great intellectual powers, of his extensive learning, of the comprehensiveness of his views, of 

 the quickness with which he seizes the important points and bearings of each subject, of the logical 

 order in which he arranges his facts, and of the clearness and precision with which he explains and 

 exposes his doctrines. Dr. Carpenter's various treatises are in fact models in their respective depart- 

 ments. It is their great and varied excellence which accounts for their unrivalled popularity. We 

 can pay no higher compliment to the work before us ? than to say, that it is equal in merit to the former 

 productions of the author. This is equivalent to saying that it is, without question, the best manual or 

 short treatise on physiology extant. Although designed for the student, and framed expressly to meet 

 his wants, it is a work, we will venture to say, that may be consulted with advantage by most physi- 

 cians and surgeons, however learned." The British, and Foreign Medical Review. 



The merits of this work are of such a high order, and its arrangement and discussion of subjects so 

 admirably adapted to the want of students, that we unhesitatingly commend it to their favorable no- 

 tice. This work studied first, and then followed by the more elaborate treatise of Dunglison. or Muller. 

 or others of similar character, is decidedly the best course for the student of physiology." The Westtrn

 A3TXXKAX. CHEMISTRY. 



WITH REFERENCE TO THE PHYSIOLOGY AND PATHOLOGY OF MAN. 



BY DR. J. FRANZ SIMON. 

 Translated and edited by GEORGE E. DAY, M. A. & L. M., CANTAB., &c. 



With plates. In one octavo volume of over seven hundred pages, sheep, or in two parts boards. 



This important work is now complete and may be had in one large octavo volume, Those who 

 obtained the first part can procure the second separate. The very low price at which this is offered, 

 in comparison with the cost of the English edition, should secure for it a large demand. 



"This excellent work, the most complete on animal chemistry that has ever appeared, has recently 

 been issued by the publishing house of Lea and Blanchard, after the Sydenhara edition of London. No 

 physician, who desires to keep pace with the improvements in our science, or to be prepared at all 

 points for the successful treatment of disease, can remain ignorant of physiological and pathological 

 chemistry ; and he will seek in vain for as complete and accurate work on the subject, as he will fand 

 in the elaborate and finished treatise of Dr. Simon The work is replete with facts of U>e highest inlerett, 

 calculated to reflect a broad blaze of light on the pathology and treatment of many diseases hithert< 

 involved in obscurity. We trust it may have a universal circulation among the profession m this 

 country. The New York Journal of Medicine.
