Excerpt from Elements of Human Physiology When, now two years ago, at the solicitation of several friends, I undertook the translation of Professor Hermann's 'Elements of Physiology, ' I was actuated by the conviction, shared in by nearly all teachers, that an urgent need existed for an English text-book which should represent the actual state of the science. It appeared to me, at the same time, that no text-book on Physiology existed in any European language at once so concise, comprehensive, and philosophical as the work which I now introduce to the English reader, and I therefore undertook its translation. During the progress of my task, which a multiplicity of occupations caused to be a more protracted one than I had anticipated, my early convictions as to the excellence of the work have steadily deepened.

Excerpt from The Elements of Physiology Observational work should be carried on to the. Extent, at. Least, of obtaining clear ideas of the parts considered and of the processes involved in their operation. Systematic laboratory work where it can be arranged for, is a most. Valuable aid in the mastery of the sub jcet. Where this cannot be provided, class experiments and observa tions must be supplied by the teacher. The experiments and observa tions given in this book are for class purposes and are intended to serve a necessary part in the development of the subject. The list, which is suggestive rather than exhaustive, includes such as are simple and require little apparatus. A note book should be kept by the pupil.

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 The Elements of Physiology for Schools The human body is made of cells and its life consists in the activities of the cells. Physiology is the study of the cells and tissues in their related activities. Yet the usual school physiology neglects the functions of the cells and tissues and studies organs almost as isolated things, rather than as component parts of the bodily structure. The well organized science of physiology is thus slighted and the result is an unnecessary waste of time. The experience of the author with young students has convinced him that elementary facts in the science are not so difficult of comprehension when given in their real relations as when given as isolated facts.

Excerpt from Elements of Physiology and Hygiene A plant takes up the matter intended for its growth by means of vessels, or open mouths provided for that purpose, either in its roots or leaves. In these vessels, this matter undergoes the changes that fit it to become a part of the living plant, and by them it is carried to its proper place and built into the structure of the body. These instruments by which the food is absorbed, pre pared, and deposited are called Organs, and the body thus formed is an Organic body.

Excerpt from Elements of Anatomy and Physiology for Nurses IN the composition of this book the writer has been guided by his own needs and influenced by the following reflections. The field of Anatomy and Physiology is too large to be treated adequately in a textbook of less than several volumes. No nurse can or need become acquainted with the Whole field, but she should know pretty well those parts which border on her own experience. The training school may then with propriety seek to make the nurse thoroughly famil iar with a very few fundamental and typical phenomena such as may be presented in a little book, and furthermore it should encourage her to work up her cases from the larger reference books just as the doctor does, although of course in much less detail and from a somewhat different stand point. If she has thoroughly grasped the rudiments of the subject, this procedure will be an easy and pleasant one. This is no new-fangled notion, for the case method of teaching law and medical students is an old story. The case method has among other advantages this very obvious one, that the facts acquired in this way are a much more permanent acquisition than is the case when they are served cold, so to speak, in a lesson book.
