" This is an eminently practical and useful book, and one in which the subject 

 is treated exhaustively. The author has that all too rare faculty of making 

 things plain which comes from full knowledge and an aptitude for teaching. 

 Since histology is at the basis of our comprehension of physiology, pathology, 

 bacteriology, and clinical medicine unusual space has been devoted to all those 

 organs which serve as a field for the specialist in medicine. This is especially 

 true of the chapters on the central nervous system, which are comprehensive 

 and exhaustive. What is true of this department is more or less true of all, and 

 specialists, practitioners, and students will find a sufficiently adequate treatment 

 of the histology of every tissue of the body." Journal of Medicine and Science. 



" The subject-matter in this excellent book is thoroughly modern, and is 

 presented in clear and readable fashion, while the unusual profusion and quality 

 of the illustrations contribute a great deal to the attractiveness of the volume. 

 An interesting feature is the free use of drawings made from plastic recon- 

 structions of organs, which should be of great assistance to the student in 

 understanding such structures as the adrenals, various glands, the blood, and 

 lymphatic systems of different regions, etc. . . . The minute anatomy of the eye 

 and of the ear is discussed at much greater length than is customary, and the 

 section devoted to the nervous system is also worthy of note, both on account 

 of its completeness and of the character of its illustrations. The bibliography is 

 conveniently grouped by topics at the end of the volume and presents a well- 

 selected list of the more important contributions to histological literature." 



New York Medical Record. 



" Both as to text and illustrations this work is the most, comprehensive and 

 best-arranged text-book on the subject which has as yet appeared in this 

 country." Albany Medical Annals. 



" This recent claimant to favor should easily dispel existing impressions as 

 to the superiority of foreign works, for Dr. Ferguson has written a work of which 

 nothing but praise can be spoken." Medical Monthly, Memphis, Tenn.
