4 Medical Works, published by 
DR. WAGNER'S 
e a § 
System of Physiology; = — 
For the Use of Students and Practitioners in Medicine. 4 
Translated from the German 
By ROBERT WILLIS, M.D. 
With Notes and Additions by the Translator and others. 
The great object which the Author proposes to himself in this undertaking, and t i. 
which he will hold all others subordinate, is this—to give the most concise and clear | — 
of the Student and Practitioner of Medicine has been the chief aim of the Author, | 
he has not been unmindful of any one who would obtain a comprehensive view of | 
the recent progress and present state of Physiology. He has striven especially to 
make his book a guide in the path of observation and experiment to r 
remote from the appliances of great cities and amply-furnished institutions, are : 
anxious to investigate and to prove for themselves, with such means as they have at | 
theircommand. Even to the Physiologist of higher pretensions, however, vould | 
fain hope that he had brought a present not unacceptable on many accounts; for it | 
has still been his endeavour to see where possible with his own eyes, and to speak at | 
all times as feeling secure on his own footing. With all this, he cannot but hold | 
himself doubly secure in the support of the many distinguished Physiologists who | 
have afforded him original contributions upon those subjects to which they have more 
particularly devoted their attention. on 
The Translator has also to acknowledge important aid in the progress of his work, 
from distinguished Physiologists not only of our own country, But of the continent. } 
The work is distributed into Four Parts, each of which is in itself a distinct and | 
complete manval of the subject of which it treats.—Each part is illustrated by very | 
numerous engravings, mostly after the Author’s ‘ Icones Physiologice.’ The T. TRD : 
PART (price 10s.) now published, completes the SPECIAL PHYSIOLOGY, | 
which comprises all that is interesting or important to the student. It is therefore | 
issued with a Title and Preface, so that the Three Parts may be bound up together. 
The GENERAL PHYSIOLOGY will forma mere Supplement or yen 5 to 
these. aay
