    pARPENTER ( WILLIAM B.), M. D., F. R. S., ^ Examiner in Physiology and Oomparative Anatomy in the University of London. PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY; with their chief appli- cations to Psychology, Pathology, Therapeutics, Hygiene and Forensic Medicine. Anew American from the last and revised London edition. With nearly three hundred illustrations. Edited, with additions, by Francis Gtjeney Smith, M. D., Professor of the Institutes of Medicine in the University of Pennsylvania, &c. In one very large and beautiful octavo volume, of about 900 large pages, handsomely printed; extra cloth, $5 50 ; leather, raised bands, $6 50. The highest compliment that can be extended to this great wovk of Dr. Carpenter is to call attention to this, another new edition, which the favorable ret'avd of the profession has called for. Carpenter is the standard authority on physiology, and no physi- cian or medical student will regard his library as complete without a copy of it.—Cincinnati lied. Ob- server. With Dr. Smith, we confidently believe that the present will more than sustain the enviable reputa- tion already attained by former editions, of being one of the fullest and most complete treatises on the subject in the English language. We know of none from the pages of which a satisfactory knowledge of the physiology of the human organism can be as well obtained, none better adapted for the use of such as take up the study of physiology in its reference to the institutes and practice of medicine.—Am. Jour. Med. Sciences. A complete cyclopjedia of this branch of science.— 27. ¥. Med. Times. We doubt not it is destined to retain a strong hold on public favor, and remain the favorite text-book in our colleges.—Virginia. Medical Journal. We have so often spoken in terms of high com- mendation of Dr. Carpenter's elaborate work on hu- man physiology that, in announcing a new edition, it is unnecessary to add anything to what has hereto- fore been said, and especially is this the case since every intelligent physician is as well aware of the character and merits of the work as we ourselves are. —St. Louis Med. and Surg. Journal. The above is the title of what is emphatically the great work on physiology; and we are conscious that it would be a useless effort to attempt to add any- thing to the reputation of this invaluable work, and can only say to all with whom our opinion has any influence, that it is our authority.—Atlanta Med. Journal. The greatest, the most reliable, and the best book on the subject which we know of in the English lan- guage. —Stethoscope. T THE SAME AUTHOR. B PPvINCIPLES OF COMPARATIVE PHYSIOLOGY. New Ameri- can, from the Fourth and Revised London Edition. In one large and handsome octavo volume, with over three hundred beautiful illustrations Pp. 752. Extra cloth, $5 00. As a complete and condensed treatise on its extended and important subject, this work becomes a necessity to students of natural science, while the very low price at which it is oflFered places it within the reach of all. TOY THE SAME AUTHOR. THE MICROSCOPE AND ITS REVELATIONS. With an Appen- dix containing the Applications of the Microscope to Clinical Medicine, Ac. By F. G- Smith . M. D. Illustrated by four hundred and thirty-four beautiful engravings on wood.

With about three hundred large and beautiful illustrations on wood. Complete in one large octavo volume of 950 pages, extra cloth. Price $4 75. The names of Todd and Bowman have long been familiar to the student of physiology. In this work we have the ripe experience of these laborious physi- ologists on every branch of this science. They gave each subject the most thorough and critical examina- tion before making it a matter of record. Thus, while they advanced tardily, apparently, in their publica- tion, the work thus issued was a complete exponent of the science of physiology at the time of its final appearance. We can, therefore, recommend this work as one of the most reliable which the student or practitioner can consult relating to physiology.—N. Y. Journal of 3fedicine. To it .the rising generation of medical men will owe, in great measure, a familiar acquaintance with all the chief truths respecting the healthy structure and working of the frames which are to form the subject of their care. The possession of such know- ledge will do more to make sound and able practi- tioners than anything else.—British and Foreign Medicn-Chiriirgical Review.

Pp. 586. E.xtra cloth, $2 25 ; leather, $2 75. By the use of a fine and clear type, a very large amount of matter has been condensed into a compnratively small volume, and at its exceedingly low price it will be found a most desirable manual for students or for gentlemen desirous to refresh their knowledge of modern physiology. lent guide in the study of physiology in its mo.st ad- vanced and perfect foi'm. The author has shown himself capable of giving dpt.itls sufficiently ample in a condensed and concentrated shape, on a science It is at once convenient in size, comprehensive in desiga, and concise in statement, and altogether well adapted for tlio purpose designed.—St. Louis Med. and Surg. Journal. The physiological reader will find it a most excel- in which it is necessary at once to be correct and not lengthened.—Edin>Mirgh Med. and Surg. Journal.
