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 Kobertson 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. 



No man in America was better fitted than Dr. 

 Draper for the task he undertook, and he has pro- 

 vided the student and practitioner of medicine 

 with a volume at once readable and thorough. 

 Even to the student who has some knowledge of 

 physics this book is useful, as it shows him its 

 applications to the profession that he has chosen. 

 Dr. Draper, as an old teacher, knew well the diffi- 

 culties to be encountered in bringing his subject 



While all enlightened physicians will agree that 

 ics is desirable for the medi- 



cal student, only those actually engaged in the 

 teaching of the primary subjects can be fully 

 aware of the difficulties encountered by students 

 who attempt the study of these subjects without 

 a, knowledge of either physics or chemistry. 

 These are especially felt by the teacher of physi- 

 ology. 



It is, however, impossible for him to impart a 

 knowledge of the main facts of his subject and 

 establish them by reasons and experimental dem- 

 onstration, and at the same time undertake to 

 teach nb initio the principles of chemistry or phys- 

 ics. Hence the desirability, we may say the 

 necessity, for some such work as the present one. 



within the grasp of the average student, and that 

 he has succeeded so well proves once more that 

 the man to write for and examine students is the 

 one who has taught and is teaching them. The 

 book is well printed and fully illustrated, and in 

 every way deserves grateful recognition. The
