PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY; Edited by HENRY POWER, 



M.B. Lond., F.R.C.S.. Examiner in Natural Sciences, University of Oxford. Anew 

 American from the Eighth llevised and Enlarged English Edition, with Notes and Addi- 

 tions, by FRANCIS G. SMITH, M.D., Professor of thelnstitutescf Medicine in the Univer- 

 sity of Pennsylvania, etc. In one very large and handsome octavo volume, of 1 08H pages, 

 with two plates and 3 73 engravings on wood; cloth, $5 50 ; leather, $6 50. (Just Issued.) 



Thegreatwork, the crowning labor of the distinguished author, and through which so many 

 generations of students have acquired their knowledge of Physiology, has been almost meta- 

 morphosed in the effort to at* apt it thoroughly to the requirements of modern science. Since 

 the appearance of the last American edition, it has had several revisions at the experienced 

 hand of Mr. Power, who has modified and enlarged it so as to introduce all that is important 

 in the investigations and discoveries of England, France, and Germany, resulting in an enlarge- 

 ment of about one-fourth in the text. The series of illustrations has undergone a like revision, 

 a large proportion of the former ones having been rejected, and the total number increased 

 to nearly four hundred. The thorough revision which the work has so recently received in 

 England, bos rendered unnecessary any elaborate additions in this country, but the American 

 Editor, Professor Smith, has introduced such matters as his long experience has shown him to 

 be requisite for the student. Every care has been taken with the typographical execution , and 

 the work is presented, with its thousand closely, but clearly printed pages, as emphatically the 

 text-book for the student and practitioner of medicine the onein which, as heretofore, especial 

 care is directed to show the applications of physiology in the various practical branches of 

 medical science. Notwithstanding its very great enlargement, the price has not been in- 

 creased, rendering this one of the cheapest works now before the profession. 



We have been agreeably surprised to find the vol- 

 ume so complete in regard to the structure and func- 

 tions of tbe nervous system in all its relations, a 

 subject that, in many respects, is one of the most diffi- 

 cult of all, in the whole range of physiology, upon 

 which to produce a full and satisfactory treatise of 

 the class to which the one before us belongs. The 

 additions by the American editor give to the work as 

 it is a considerable value beyond that of the last 

 English edition. In conclusion, we can give our cor- 

 dial recommendation to the work as it now appears. 

 The editors have, with their additions to the only 

 work on physiology in our language that, in the full- 

 est sen.-e of the word, is the production of a philoso- 

 pher as well as a physiologist, brought it up as fully 

 as could be expected, if not desired, to the standard 

 of our knowledge of its subject at the present day. 

 It will deservedly maintain the place it has always 

 had iu the favor "of the medical profession. Journ. 

 of Nervous and Mental Dite.ase, April, 1877. 



"Good wine needs no bush" says the proverb, and 

 an old and faithful servant like the " big" Carpenter, as 

 carefully brought down as this edition has been by Mr. 

 Henry Power, reeds little or no commendation by us. 

 Such enormous advances have recently been made in 

 our physiological knowledge, that what was perfectly 

 new a year or two ago. looks now as if it had been a 

 received and established fact for years. In this ency- 

 clopaedic way it is unrivalled. Here, as it seems to 

 us. i- the great value of the hook: one is safe in sending 

 a student to it for information on almost any given 



subject, perfectly certain of the fulness of information 

 it will convey, and well satisfied of the accuracy with 

 which it will there be found stated. London Med. 

 Times and Gazette, Feb. 17, 1877. 



Thus fully are treated the structure and functions ol 

 all the important organs of the body, while there are 

 chapters on sleep and somnambulism; clmpterson eth 

 nology , a full section on general ion. and abundant re- 

 ferences to the curiosities of physiology, as the evolu 

 tion of light, heat, electricity, etc. In short, this new 

 edition of Carpenter is, as we have said at the start, 

 a very encyclopedia of modern physiology. The Olin- 

 ic, Feb. 24, 1877. 



The merits of" Carpenter'sPhysiology" are so widely 

 known and appreciated that we need only allude briefly 

 to the fact that in the latest edition will be found acoai- 

 prehensive embodiment of the results of recent physio 

 logical investigation. Care has been taken to preserve 

 the practical character of the original work. In fact 

 the entire work has been brought up to date, and bears 

 evidence of the amount of labor that has been bestowed 

 upon it by its distinguished editor, Mr. Henry Power. 

 The American editor has made the latest additions, in 

 order fully to cover the time that has elapsed since the 

 last English edition. N. T. Med. Journal, Jan. 1877. 



A more thorough work on physiology could not be 

 found. In this all the facts discovered by the late re- 

 searches are noticed, and neither student nor practi- 

 tioner should be without this exhaustive treatise on aii 

 important elementary branch of medicine. Atlanta 

 Med. and Surg. Journal, Dec. 1876.
