FROM THE PREFACE. 



The fact that a knowledge of Physics is indispensable to a thorough understanding of 

 Medicine has not been as fully realized in this country as in Europe, where the admirable 

 works of Desplats and Gariel, of Robertson and of numerous German writers constitute a 

 branch of educational literature to which we can show no parallel. A full appreciation 

 of this the author trusts will be sufficient justification for placing in book form the sub- 

 stance of his lectures on this department of science, delivered during many years at the 

 University of the City of New York. 



Broadly speaking, this work aims to impart a knowledge of the relations existing 

 between Physics and Medicine in their latest state of development, and to embody in the 

 pursuit of this object whatever experience the author has gained during a long period of 

 teaching this special branch of applied science. 



This elegant and useful work bears ample testi- 

 mony to the learning and good judgment of the 

 author. He has fitted his work admirably to the 

 exigencies of the situation by presenting the 

 reader with brief, clear and simple statements of 

 such propositions as he is by necessity required to 

 master. The subject matter is well arranged, 

 liberally illustrated and carefully indexed. That 

 it will take rank at once among the text-books is 

 certain, and it is to be hoped that it will find a 

 place upon the shelf of the practical physician, 

 where, as a book of reference, it will be found 

 useful and agreeabio. Louisville Medical News, 

 September 26, 1885. 



Certainly we have no text-book as full as the ex- 



cellent one he has prepared. It begins with a 

 statement of the properties of matter and energy. 

 After these the special departments of physics are 



explained, acoustics, optics, heat, electricity and 

 magnetism, closing with a section on electro- 

 biology. The applications of all these to physiology 

 and medicine are kept constantly in view. The 

 text is amply illustrated and the many difficult 

 points of the subject are brought forward with re- 

 markable clearness and ability. Medical and Surg- 

 ical Reporter, July 18, 1885. 



That this work will greatly facilitate the study 

 of medical physics is apparent upon even a mere 

 cursory examination. It is marked by that scien- 

 tific accuracy which always characterizes Dr. 

 Draper's writings. Its peculiar value lies in the 

 fact that it is written from the standpoint of the 

 medical man. Hence much is omitted that ap- 

 pears in a mere treatise on physical science, while 

 much is inserted of peculiar value to the physi- 

 cian. Medical Record, August 22, 1885.

The title of this work sufficiently explains the I ments. It will be found of great value to the 

 nature of its contents. It is designed as a man- | practitioner. It is a carefully prepared book of 



ual for the student of medicine, an auxiliary to 

 his text-book in physiology, and it would be particu- 

 larly useful as a guide to his laboratory experi- 



reference, concise and accurate, and as such we 

 heartily recommend it. Journal of the American 

 Medical Association, Dec. 6, 1884.

Dr. Dalton's work is the fruit of the deep research 

 of a cultured mind, and to the busy practitioner it 

 cannot fail to be a source of instruction. It will 

 inspire him with a feeling of gratitute and admir- 

 ation for those plodding workers of olden times, 

 who laid the foundation of the magnificent temple 



revolutionized the theories of teachers, than the 

 discovery of the circulation of the blood. This 

 explains the extraordinary interest it has to all

 few years by American physicians. It is in several
