Since its first appearance in 1880, Prof. Landois’ Text-Book op Physiology has been translated into three Foreign languages, and passed through Seven Large Editions. The Fourth English Edition has again been thoroughly revised, and a new feature introduced—that of printing some of the illustrations in colours. The number of figures has also been largely increased, from 494 in the First, to 845 in the present Edition. In order to do full justice to the coloured illustrations, and to admit of more of the text being printed in large type, it has been found necessary to put the work once again in two volumes. Opinions of the Press. “So great are the advantages offered by Prof. Landois’ Text-book, from the exhaus- tive and EMINENTLY PRACTICAL manner in which the subject is treated, that it has passed through FOUR large editions in the same number of years. . . . Dr. Stirling’s annotations have materially added to the value of the work. Admirably adapted for the Practitioner. . . . With this Text-book at command, no Student could fail in his examination.”—TAe Lancet. “One of the MOST practical works on Physiology ever written, forming a ‘bridge’ between Physiology and Practical Medicine. ... Its chief merits are its completeness and conciseness. . . . The additions by the Editor are able and judicious. Excellently clear, attractive, and succinct.”—Ari«. Med. Journal. “The great subjects dealt with are treated in an admirably clear, terse, and happily- iUustrated manner. At every turn the doctrines laid down are illuminated by reference to facts of Clinical Medicine or Pathology.”—Practitioner. “We have no hesitation in saying that this is the work to which the Practitioner will turn whenever be desires light thrown upon, or information as to how he can best investigate, the phenomena of a complicated OR IMPORTANT CASE. To the Student it will be equally valuable.”—Edinburgh Medical Journal. “ Landois and Stirling’s work cannot fail to establish itself as one of the most useful and popular works known to English readers.”—Manchester Medical Chronicle. “ As a work of reference, Landois and Stirling’s Treatise ought to take the fore- most PLACE among the text-books in the English language. The woodcuts are noticeable for their number and beauty.”—Glasgow Medical Journal. “ Unquestionably the most admirable exposition of the relations of Human Physiology to Practical Medicine that has ever been laid before English readers.”—Students' Journal.
