Excerpt from Outlines of Human Physiology The living body contains no other elements and forces than those found in the inanimate world. There is no special Vital Force. The properties of life are dependent upon the chemical and physical properties of the living sub stance. The composition of this substance is not known; in fact, it is a question whether it is chemically an indi vidual substance or a mixture of different bodies.

Excerpt from Elements of Physiology Several authors, in treating of the science of man, have. Indulged them selves in frequent excursion into the vast field of accessory sciences, and have, without necessity, incorporated in their works whole chapters on air, on sound, on light, and other subjects, which belong to the depart' ment of natural philosophy and chemistry. Haller himself is not entire ly free of blame, for having discredited physiology by this borrowed dis play. I have introduced only such general ideas of the subject, 'as were absolutely necessary to render my own intelligible, and were, indeed, too close y connected with it, to admit of separation.

Excerpt from Elements of Physiology: Including Physiological Anatomy, for the Use of the Medical Student Tns present volume owes its origin to a desire on the part of the Publisher, that an elementary treatise on Physiology should be added to the series of admirable Students' Manuals, on the various depart ments of Medical Science, which he had previously issued. In carrying this desire into execution, the Author has endeavored to avoid inflicting upon the class for whose use the Treatise is especially intended, the injury of placing in their hands such a superficial and imperfect sketch of the science, as, whilst affording them but a limited amount of knowledge of its facts, should leave them very ill-informed as to its general doctrines. His object has rather been to convey to the Student as clear an idea as possible of those Principles of Physiology which are based on the broadest and most satisfactory foundation, and to point out the mode in which these principles are applied to the explanation of the phenomena presented by the living actions of the Human body. In this manner has the Author desired to prepare him for that more detailed study of the latter, which becomes necessary when Physiology is pursued (as it ought to be) in connexion with the changes produced in the living body by Morbific and Remedial Agents, and is thus taken as a guide in the study of the causes, prevention, and treat ment of Disease - which should be the primary object of attention with every one who undertakes the practice of his Profession.

Excerpt from Elements of the Anatomy, Physiology and Hygiene of the Human System In the first place, there must be a suitable mechanical structure. It must be sufficiently firm to support the weight and transmit the power which the purposes of life require; and this firmness is secured by the framework of bones which the body contains. This framework must not be a rigid structure, but capable of various motions. The joints are provided, to render these motions possible and the muscles are the system of connections by which the several parts of the frame are acted upon in the perform ance Of these functions.
