Physiology of the Domestic Animals. 



A Text-Book for Veterinary and Medical Students and Practitioners. 



By Robert Meade Smith, A.M., M.D,, Professor of Comparative Physi- 

 ology in University of Pennsylvania; Fellow of the College of Physicians and 

 Academy of the Natnral Sciences, Philadelphia; of American Physiological 

 Society; of the American Society of Naturalists, etc. 



This new and important work, the most thoroughly complete in the 

 English language on this subject, treats of the physiology of the domestic animals 

 in a most co^nprehensive manner, especial prominence being given to the subject 

 of foods and fodders, and the character of the diet for the herbivora under 

 different conditions, with a full consideration of their digestive peculiarities. 

 Without being overburdened with details, it forms a complete text-book of 

 physiology adapted to the use of students and practitioners of both veterinary 

 and human medicine. This work has already been adopted as the Text-Book on 

 Physiology in the Veterinary Colleges of the United States, Great Britain, and 

 Canada. In one Handsome Royal Octavo Volume of over 950 pages, profusely 

 illustrated with more than 490 Fine Wood-Engravings and many Colored Plates.

A. LlAUTARD, M.r., H.F.R.C., V.S., Pro- 

 fessor of Anatomy, Operative Surgery, and 

 Sanitary Medicine in tlie American Veterinary 

 College, New York, writes:— "I have exam- 

 ined the work of Dr. R. M. Smith on the 

 'Physiology of the Domestic Animals,' and con- 

 sider it one of the best additions to veterinary 

 literature that we have had for some time." 



E. M. Reading, A.M., M.D., Professor of 

 Physiology in the Chicago Veterinary College, 

 writes:— "I have carefully examined the 

 'Smith's Physiology,' published by you, and 

 like it. It is comprehensive, exhaustive, and 

 complete, and is especially adapted to those 

 who desire to obtain a full knowledge of the 

 principles of physiology, and are not satisfied 

 with a mere smattering of the cardinal points." 



Dr. Smith's presentment of his subject is as 

 brief as the status of the science peimits, and 

 to this much-desired conciseness he has added 

 an equally welcome clearness of statement. 

 The illustrations in the work are exceedingly 

 good, and must prove a valuable aid to the 



full understanding of the Xext.— Journal of 

 Comparative Medicine and Surgery. 



Vetei-inary i)ractitioners and graduates will 

 read it with pleasure. Veterinary students 

 will readily acquire needed knowledge from 

 its pages, and veterinary schools, which would 

 be well equippetl for the work they aim to 

 perform, cannot ignore it as their text-book 

 in physioVogy.- .4?/(e?-icrm Veterinary Review. 

 Altogether, Professor Smith's "Physiology 

 of the Domestic Animals" is a happyproduc- 

 tion, and will be hailed with delight in both 

 the human medical and veterinary medical 

 worlds. It should find its place, besides, in all 

 agricultural libraries.- Paul Paquix, M.D., 

 \ .S., in the Weekly Medical Review. 



The author has judiciously made the nutri- 

 tive functions the strong point of tbe work, 

 and has devoted special attention to the sub- 

 i ject of foods and digestion. In looking 

 I through other sections of the work, it appears 

 ! to us that a just proportion of space is assigned 

 I to each, in view of their relative importance 

 I to the practitioner.— Z-ojtdon Lancet.

He who has not time to more fully study the 

 more extended records of the past, will highly 

 prize this little book. Its interesting discourse 

 upon the past is full of suggestive thought. — 

 American Lancet. 



Like an oasis in a dry and dusty desert of 

 medical literature, through which we wearily 

 stagger, is this work devoted to medical sym- 

 bolism and mythology. As the author aptly 

 quotes: " "What some Tight braines may esteerh 

 as foolish toyes, deeper judgments can and 



will value as sound and serious matter."— Can- 

 ad/an Practitioner. 



In the volume before us we have an admira- 

 ble and successful attempt to set forth in 

 order those medical symbols which have come 

 down to us, and to explain on historical grounds 

 their significance. An astonishing amount of 

 information is contained within the covers of 

 the book, and every page of the work bears 

 token of the painstaking genius and erudite 

 mind of the now unhappily deceased author.
