Treatise On Anatomy Physiology PDF Download

Excerpt from A Treatise on Anatomy, Physiology, and Health: Designed for Students, Schools, and Popular Use; Illustrated With Numerous Plates I now present to the public my Treatise on Anatomy, Physiology, and Health, designed both for the student of medicine as well as the general reader. I at first intended to issue a large work and plates, to correspond with my midwifery; but upon more mature reflection, I deemed it best to publish it in the present form and size, with the accompanying figures. The price of a work as large and costly as I at first contemplated, would have restricted the sale considerably, in placing it beyond the reach of those in limited circumstances. These objections, together with the great labor and cost of the text and engravings, have induced me thus to issue it; and I think it preferable, taking everything into consideration. I have labored to be brief, perspicuous, and comprehensive, and, at the same time, to give clear and full illustrations, both by the text and numerous plates; without which every work of the kind is very imperfect and poorly calculated to impart instruction. The reader will perceive that I have adapted this treatise to the capacity of the popular reader, as well as the student of medicine. We must depend for patronage for a work of this kind upon all classes of the community; and indeed the success of our reformatory course in medicine, I apprehend, depends much upon disseminating among them correct views in Physiology, which shows obviously the utility and importance of such a work.
