The fact that a knowledge of Physics is indispensable to a thorough understanding of Medicine has not been as fully realized in this country as in Europe, where the admirable works of Desplats and Gariel, of Robertson and of numerous German writers constitute a branch of educational literature to which we can show no parallel. A full appreciation of this the author trusts will be sufficient justification for placing in book form the sub- stance of his lectures on this department of science, delivered during many years at the University of the City of New York. Broadly speaking, this work aims to impart a knowledge of the relations existing between Physics and Medicine in their latest state of development, and to embody in the pursuit of this object whatever experience the author has gained during a long period of teaching this special branch of applied science. explained, acoustics, optics, heat, electricity and magnetism, closing with a section on electro- biology. The applications of all these to physiology and medicine are kept constantly in view. The This elegant and useful work bears ample testi- mony to the learning and good judgment of the author. He has fitted his work admirably to the exigencies of the situation by presenting the reader with hrief, clear and simple statements of such propositions as he is hy necessity required to text is amply illustrated and the many difficult points of the subject are brought forward with re- master.
