    ** Prof. Kuss's work seems to us to he the best Students* Man* ual -we have seen — Medico-Chirurgical Revirw. yUST PUBLISHED: A New Manual of Physiology. A Course of Lectures on Physiology, As delivered by Professor Kiiss at the Medical School of the University of Strasbourg. Edited by Mathias Duval, M.D., formerly Demonstrator of Anatomy at the Medical School of Strasbourg. Translated from the Second and Revised Edition, by Robert Amory, M.D., formerly Pro- fessor of Physiology at the Medical School of Maine. 150 Woodcuts inserted in the text, i vol. i2mo. 547 pp. Price ^2.50. **M. Kiiss was one of those modest scientists who love science for itself; who seek for the truth without caring whether they are well spoken of by the world. — Gazette Hebdomadaire. The author exhibits a thorough familiarity with the late advances made in physiological science ; and, although we have a number of acceptable works on this subject, we welcome this as one particularly well adapted to advanced students. Its terseness gives the reader and student an impression that it is really a great and large work, boiled down to the dimensions of a handbook. — Cincinnati Lancet and Observer. I have a good many works on the subject, but all of them seem to me in some respects a little antiquated; and, in the examination I have made of these lectures, they seem to me to meet just the want which I and others of my time feel very ur- gently. I am also pleased to have some new illustrations, after meeting the old stereo- typed ones so many times. — Professor Oliver Wendell Holmes. The arrangement of this manual of Physiology is judicious, and its discussions of the various subjects involved concise and accurate. —Philadelphia Medical and Surgical Reporter. After a careful reading of the book, we do not hesitate to call it, on the whole, the best treatise on Physiology, of its size, now to be found in Enghsh. Kuss's style is full of vivacity and elegance, and abounds in picturesque epithets and bits of de- scription, which serve both to fix the reader's attention and to impress his memory. — Boston Medical and Surgical Journal. *' This manual is the only concise treatise wherein the relations of Physiology to Histology are carefully presented, in the English language. The illustrations are both numerous and well executed. — Physician and Pharmacist, For sale by all Booksellers^ or forwarded by mail to any part of the United States on receipt of the price and twenty-five cents extra^ to prepay postage^ by JAMES CAMPBELL, PUBLISHER, BOOKSELLER, AND STATIONER, 18 Triemont Street, Boston, Mass.
