" Dr. Flint's reputation is sufficient to give a character to the book among the 

 profession, where it will chiefly circulate, and many of the facts given have been 

 verified by the author in his laboratory and in public demonstration." Chicago 

 Courier. 



" The author bestows judicious care and labor. Facts are selected with dis- 

 crimination, theories critically examined, and conclusions enunciated with com- 

 mendable clearness and precision." American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 



Y^lume IV. The Nervous System. 

 8vo. Cloth, $4.50. 



This volume embodies the results of exhaustive study, and of a long and 

 laborious series of experiments, presented in a manner remarkable for its strength 

 and clearness. No other department of physiology has so profound an interest 

 for the modern and progressive physician as that pertaining to the nervous 

 system. The diseases of this system are now.engaging the study and attention 

 of some of the greatest minds in the medical world, and in order to follow their 

 brilliant discoveries and developments, especially in connection with the science 

 of electrology, it is absolutely necessary to obtain a clear and settled knowledge 

 of the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system. It is the design of this 

 work to impart that knowledge free from the perplexing speculations and uncer- 

 tainties that have no real value for the practical student of medicine. The 

 author boldly tests every theory for himself, and asks his readers to accept noth- 

 ing that is not capable of demonstration. The properties of the cerebro-spinal, 

 nervous, and sympathetic systems are treated of in a manner at once lucid, 

 thorough, and interesting. 



Although this volume is one, perhaps the most important one, of the author's 

 admirable series in the Physiology of Man, it is nevertheless complete in itself, 

 and may be safely pronounced indispensable to every physician who takes a pride 

 and interest in the progress of medical science. 



Volume Y. Special Senses ; Generation. 



8vo. Cloth, $4.50. 



" The present volume completes the task, begun eleven years ago, of preparing 

 a work, intended to represent the existing state of physiological science, as ap- 

 plied to the functions of the human body. The kindly reception which the first 

 four volumes have received has done much to sustain the author in an under- 

 taking, the magnitude of which he has appreciated more and more as the work 

 has progressed. 



" In the fifth and last volume, an attempt has been made to give a clear account 

 of the physiology of the special senses and generation, a most difficult and delicate 

 undertaking. . . . 



" Finally, as regards the last, as well as the former volumes, the author can 

 only say that he has spared neither time nor labor in their preparation ; and the 

 imperfections in their execution have been due to deficiency in ability and oppor- 

 tunity. He indulges the hope, however, that he has written a book which may 

 assist his fellow-workers, and interest, not only the student and practitioner of 

 medicine, but some others who desire to keep pace with the progress of Natural 

 Science." Extracts from Preface.
