THE SECOND EDITION, VERY MUCH ALTERED AND IMPROVED, 



OF 



nrHIAN PHYSIOIiOGY, 



ILLUSTRATED BY NUMEROUS ENGRAVINGS. 

 BY 



ROBLEY DUNGLISON, M. D., &c., &c. 



This work, although intended chiefly for the professional reader, is adapted to tile 

 comprehension of every one, the anatomical and other descriptions being elucidated by 

 wood-cuts, and by copperplate engravings. It comprises a full investigation of every 

 function e.xecuted by ihe various organs of the body in health, and is calculated to con- 

 vey accurate impressions regarding all the deeply interesting and mysterious phenomena 

 that are associated with the life of man — both as an individual, and a species— and a 

 knowledge of which is now regarded indispensable to the formation of the well educated 

 gentleman. 



" It is the most complete and satisfactory system of Physiology in tl)e English language. 

 ^t will add to the already high reputation of the aulhoi :'—Jimerican Journal of the Me- 

 dical Sciences. 



" We feel warranted in recommending the work to the student of physiology, as being 

 one of the very best text books with which we are acquainted ; while we are persuaded 

 its very superior merits will command for it a place in every medical library."— 7fti<Z. 



" A work, like this, so abounding in important facts, so correct in its principles, and 

 so free from errors arising from a prejudice to favourite opinions, will be cordially re- 

 ceived and extensively consulted by the profession, and by all who are desirous of a 

 knowledge of the functions of the human body; and those who are the best qualified to 

 judge of its merits, will pronounce it the best work of the kind in the English lan- 

 guage."— Silliman. 



"This is a work of no common standing ; it is characterized by much learning and re- 

 search, contains a vast amount of important matter, and is written by a scholar and a 

 man of taste. We are inclined to think that it will be placed, by general consent, at the 

 head of the systems of Physiology, now extant in the English language. Nor are we 

 prepared to say that, ail things considered, its superior exists in any language. It has a 

 character of its own. and is a true Anglo-American production, unsophisticated by gat- 

 nish foieignism."— Transylvania JoumaL
