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



Prnfessor of Physiology ia the College of Phyaieiana, New York. 



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



and Practitioners of Medicine. Second edition, revised and enlarged, with two liundred and 



Bevenly-one illustrations on wood. In one very beautiful octavo volume, of 700 pages, extra 



cloth, »4 GO ; leather, raised bands, $4 50. {Jttst Issued, 1861.) 



The general favor which has so soon exhausted an edition of this work has aflbrded the author 

 an opportunity in its revision of supplying the deficiencies which existed in the former volume. 

 This has caused the insertion of two new chapters— one on the Special Senses, the other on Im- 

 bibition, Exhalation, and the Functions of the Lymphatic System — besides numerous additions of 

 smaller amount scattered through the work, and a general revision designed to bring it thoroughly 

 up to the present condition of the science wilh regard to all points which may be considered as 

 definitely settled. A number of new illustrations has been introduced, and the work, it is hoped, 

 in its improved form, may continue to command the confidence oi those for whose use it is in- 

 tended 



It will be seen, therefore, that Dr.Dalton's best 

 fffortB have been directed towards peifecting his 

 work. The additior.s are marked by the same fea- 

 tures which chtirauterize the remainder of the vol- 

 ume, and render it by far the most desirable text- 

 book nn physiology to place in the hands of the 

 Btuuent which, au far as we are aware, exists in 

 tihe English language, or perhaps in any other. We 

 iherefore have no hesitation in recommending Dr. 

 Dalton's book for tne classes fur which it; is intend- 

 ed, satisBed as we are that it is better adapted to 

 their ute than any other work of the kind to which 

 they have accebs. — American Journal of the Med, 

 Sciences^ April, 186L. 



It is, therefore, no disparagemeit to the many 

 books upon physiology, moat excellent in their day, 

 to say that Dalton's is the only one that gives as the 

 science as it was known to the best philosophers 

 throughout the world, at the beginning of the cur- 

 rent year. It states in comprehensive but concise 

 diction, the facts established by experiment, or 

 other method of demonstration, and details, in an 

 understandable manner, how it is done, but abstains 

 fromthediscuBsionuf unsettled or theoreticalpoints. 

 Herein it is unique ; and these characteristics rrn 

 oer it a text-book without a rival, for those who 

 desire to study physiologictil science as it is known 

 to its most successful cultivators. And it is physi- 

 ology thus presented that lies at the foundation of 

 correct pathological knowledge; and this in turn is 

 the basis of rational therapeutics; so that patholo- 

 gy, in fact, becomes of prime importance in the 

 proper discharge of our every-day practical duties. 

 — Cincinnati Lancet, May, 1861. 



Dr. Dalton needs no word of praise from us. He 

 is universally recognizee as among the first, if not 

 the very fiist, of American physiologists now living. 

 The first edition of his admirable work ap[>eared but 

 two years since, and the advance of science, his 



own original views and experiments, together with 

 a desire to supply what he considered some deficien- 

 cies in the first edition, have already made the pre- 

 sent one a necessity, and it will no doubt be even 

 more eagerly sought for than the first. That it is 

 not merely a reprint, will be seen from the author's 

 statement of the following principal additions and 

 alterations which he has made. The present, like 

 the first edition, is printed In the highest style of the 

 printer's art, and the illustrations are truly admira- 

 ble tor their clearness in expressing exactly what 

 their author intended.— Boston Medtcal and Surgi- 

 cal Journal, March 28, 1861. 



It is unnecessary to erive a detail of the additions ; 

 suffice it to say, that they are numerous and import- 

 ant, and such aa will render the work still more 

 valuable and acceptable to the profession as a learn- 

 ed and original treatise on this all-important branch 

 of medicine. All that was said in commendation 

 of the getting up of the first edition, and the superior 

 style of the illustrations, apply with equal force to 

 this. No better work on physiology can be placed 

 in the hand of the student.— St. Louis Medical and 

 Surgical Journal, May, 1861. 



These additions, while testifying to the learning 

 and industry of the author, render the book exceed- 

 ingly useful, as the most complete expos6 of a sci- 

 ence, of which Dr. Dalton is doubtless the ablest 

 retiresentative on this side of the Atlantic. — Neto 

 Orleans Med. TimeSj May, J861. 



A second edition of this deservedly popular work 

 having been called for in the short space of two 

 years, the author has supplied deficiencies, which 

 existed in the former volume, and has thus more 

 completely fulfilled his design of presen':ing to the 

 profession a reliable and precise text book, and one 

 which we consider the best outline on the subject 

 of which it treats, in any language. — N. American 

 Medico-C hirurg . Review, May, le61.

 eases about which they have written, but have 

 also enjoyed opportunitiee for an extensive practi- 

 cal acquaintance with them and whose reputation 

 carries the assurance of their competency justly to 

 appreciate the opinions o) others, while it stamps 

 their own doctrines witl high and just authority. —
