various lesions are built up; then he traces the development
of the lesions from the simplest to the most complex. He so
presents pathology that you are able to trace backward from
any given end-result, such as sclerosis of an organ
(cirrhosis of the liver, for example), through all the
various acute lesions that may terminate in that particular
end-result to the primal _cause_ of the lesion. The
_illustrations_ are most beautiful.

"I have looked over the book and think the plan is admirably
carried out and that the book supplies a need we have felt
very much. I shall be very glad to recommend it."

Howell's Physiology
~A Text-Book of Physiology.~ By WILLIAM H. HOWELL, PH.D., M. D., Professor
of Physiology in the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Md. Octavo of
1020 pages, 306 illustrations. Cloth, $4.00 net.
~THE NEW (5th) EDITION~
Dr. Howell has had many years of experience as a teacher of
physiology in several of the leading medical schools, and is
therefore exceedingly well fitted to write a text-book on
this subject. Main emphasis has been laid upon those facts
and views which will be directly helpful in the practical
branches of medicine. At the same time, however, sufficient
consideration has been given to the experimental side of the
science. The entire literature of physiology has been
thoroughly digested by Dr. Howell, and the important views
and conclusions introduced into his work. Illustrations have
been most freely used.
~The Lancet, London~
"This is one of the best recent text-books on physiology,
and we warmly commend it to the attention of students who
desire to obtain by reading a general, all-round, yet
concise survey of the scope, facts, theories, and
speculations that make up its subject matter."
