 Faculty of Medicine at Strasbourg. Translated from the revised edition

"We consider the book to be the best of all the later text-books of human phys- 

 iology that can be placed in the hands of the American student, and we cordially 

 urge its adoption as a manual by those engaged in teaching this intricate and deeply 

 interesting branch of science. Though concisely written, many of its topics are quite 

 elaborately treated." American Journal of Medical Sciences. 



" When we say that, in our opinion, it is the best book that a student can procure, 

 we only state that which is not only our firm conviction, but that of other teachers 

 also." Medical Press and Circular. 



" M. Kuss was one of those modest scientists who love science for itself ; who 

 seek for the truth without caring whether they are well spoken of by the world." 

 Gazette Hebdomadaire. 



" Professor Ku'ss's work seems to us to be the best students' manual that we have 

 yet seen." Medico-Chirurgical Review. 



" After a careful reading of the book, we do not hesitate to call it, on the whole, 

 the best treatise on Physiology, of its size, now to be found in English. Kfiss's style 

 is full of vivacity and elegance, and abounds in picturesque epithets and bits of descrip- 

 tion, which serve both to fix the reader's attention and to impress his memory." 

 Boston Medical and Surgical Journal.
