By F. le Gros Clarke, F.R.S., St. Thomas's Hospital 



The object of this elementary treatise is to teach some of the simple truths of Human 

 Physiology, such as may be intelligible without any extended knowledge of other 

 branches of science. But it is hoped, by the avoidance of technical terms, when 

 possible, and their definition when essential, and also by a familiar explanation of any 

 natural law which may be referred to, that there will be no material difficulty in under- 

 standing the simple principles and details which will be taught in these pages.
