"The present edition is more than largely revised. Much of it is re-written, 

 and it is brought quite abreast with the latest wave of progress of physiological 

 science. A chief merit of this work is its judicial temper, a strict sifting of fact 

 from fiction, the discouragement of conclusions based on inadequate data, and small 

 liking shown toward fanciful though fascinating hypotheses, and the avowal that to 

 many questions, and some of foremost interest and moment, no satisfying answers 

 can yet be given." New England Medical Journal . 



" It is in all respects an ideal text-book. It is only the physiologist, who has 

 devoted time to the study of some branch of the great science, who can read between 

 the lines of this wonderfully generalized account, and can see upon what an intimate 

 and extensive knowledge these generalizations are founded. It is only the teacher 

 who can appreciate the judicious balancing of evidence and the power of presenting 

 the conclusions in such clear and lucid forms. But by every one the rare modesty 

 of the author in keeping the element of self so entirely in the background must be 

 appreciated. Reviewing this volume as a whole, we are justified in saying that it 

 is the only thoroughly good text-book of physiology in the English language, and 

 that it is probably the best text-book in any language." Edinburgh Medical 

 Journal. 



THE ELEMENTS OF EMBRYOLOGY. 



By MICHAEL FOSTER, M. A., M.D., LL.D., and the late FRANCIS M. 

 BALFOUR, M.A., LL.D., F.R.S. Second Edition. Revised and 

 Enlarged. Edited by ADAM SEDGWICK, M.A., and WALTER 

 HEAPE. With illustrations. 121110. $2.60. 



" A book especially adapted to the needs of medical students, who will find 

 in it all that is most essential f<>r them to know in the elements of vertebrate 

 embryology." Academy. 



A COURSE OF ELEMENTARY PRACTICAL 

 PHYSIOLOGY. 



By M. FOSTER, M.D., F.R.S., and J. N. LANGLEY, M.A., F.R.S. Fifth 

 Edition. Enlarged. 12 mo. $2.00. 



"This work will prove of great value to the teacher of physiology, as an aid to 

 the preparation of an eminently practical course of lectures and demonstrations of 

 elementary experimental physiology. Its chief utility, however, will be to the 

 intelligent student, who armed with a dissecting case, a microscope, and the book, 

 will be enabled to pass his summer vacation in a manner at once interesting and 

 profitable." Medical Record.
