DALTON, JR. (J. C.), M . D. 



Professor of Physiology in the College of Physicians, New York. 



A TREATISE OX HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY, designed for the use of Students 



and Practitioners of Medicine. With two hundred and fifty-four illustrations on wood. In one 



very beautiful octavo volume, of over 600 pages, extra cloth, 1 00; leather, raised bands, $4 25. 



(Now ready, 1859.) 



The object of the author has been to present a condensed view of the present condition of his 

 subject, divested of mere theoretical views and hypothetical reasoning*, but comprehending a;l 

 important details which may be received as definitely settled. His long experience as an investi- 

 gator and as a teacher has given him peculiar advantages in this, and he has endeavored wherever 

 practicable to show the means by which results have been reached, so as to afford the student the 

 means of pursuing original research, as well as a text-book of the science in its most advanced con- 

 dition. Of the numerous illustrations, all are original with the exception of eleven, so that the 

 whole possesses a completeness and authority not otherwise attainable, and in the mechanical 

 execution every care has been taken to present one of the handsomest volumes as yet produced 

 by the American press. 



The work before us, however, in our humble judg- 

 ment, is precisely what it purports to be, and will 

 answer admirably the purpose for which it is in- 

 tended. It is par excellence, a text-book; and the 

 best text-book in this department that we have ever 

 seen. We have carefully read the book, and speak 

 of its merits from a more than cursory perusal. 

 Looking back upon the work we have just finished, 

 we must say a word concerning the excellence of its 

 illustrations. No department is so dependent upon 

 good illustrations, and those which keep pace with 

 our knowledge of the subject, as that of physiology. 

 The wood-cuts in the work before us are the best 

 we have ever seen, and, being original, serve to 

 illustrate precisely what is desired. Buffalo Med. 

 Journal, March, 1859. 



A book of genuine merit like this deserves hearty 

 praise before subjecting it to any minute criticism. 

 We are not prepared to find any fault with its design 

 until we have had more time to appreciate its merits 

 as a manual for daily consultation, and to weigh 

 its statements and conclusions more deliberately. 

 Its excellences we are sure of; its defects we have 

 yet to discover. It is a work highly honorable to 

 its author ; to his talents, his industry, his training ; 

 to the institution with which he is connected, and 

 to American science. Boston Med. and Surgical 

 Journal, Feb. 24, 1859. 



A NEW book and a first rate one ; an original book, 

 and one which cannot be too highly appreciated, 

 and which we are proud to see emanating from our 

 country's press. It is by an author who, though 

 young, is considerably famous for physiological re- 

 search, and who in this work has erected for him- 

 self an enduring monument, a token at once of his 

 labor and his success. Nashville Medical Journal, 

 March, 1659. 



Throughout the entire work, the definitions are 

 clear and precise, the arrangement admirable, the 

 argument briefly and well stated, and the style 

 nervous, simple, and concise. Section third, treat- 

 ing of Reproduction, is a monograph of unap- 

 proached excellence, upon this subject, in the Eng- 

 lish tongue. For precision, elegance and force of 

 style, exhaustive method and extent of treatment, 

 fulness of illustration and weight of personal re- 

 search, we know of no American contribution to 

 medical science which surpasses it, and the day is 

 far distant when its claims to the respectful atten- 

 tion of even the best informed scholars will not be 

 cheerfully conceded by all acquainted with its range 

 ano depth. Charleston Med. Journal, May, 1859. 



A new elementary work on Human Physiology 

 lifting up its voice in the presence of late and sturdy 

 editions of Kirke's, Carpenter's, Todd and Bow- 

 man's, to say nothing of Dui glison's and Draper's, 

 should have something superior in the matter or the 

 manner of iis utterance in order to win for itself 

 deserved attention and a name. That matter and 

 that manner, after a candid perusal, we think dis- 

 tinguish this work, and vye are proud to welcome ir, 

 not merely for its nativity's sake, but for its own 

 intrinsic excellence. Its language we find to be 

 plain, direct, unambitious, and falling with a just 

 conciseness on hypothetical or unsettled questions, 

 and yet with sufficient fulness on those living topics 

 already understood, or the path to whose solution 

 is definitely marked out. It does not speak exhaust- 

 i/ely upon every subject that it notices, but it does 

 speak suggestively, experimentally, and to their 

 main utilities. Into the subject of Reproduction 

 our author plunges with a kind of loving spirit. 

 Throughout this interesting and obscure department 

 he is a clear and admirable teacher, sometimes a 

 brilliant leader. Am. Med. Monthly, May, 1859.
