Excerpt from The Student's Human Physiology: A First Year's Course in the Practice, and Theory of the Subject This book has been prepared with the object of showing how a complete course of instruction in the practice and theory of the more elementary parts of Human Physiology can be given, and it contains all the essentials of a first year's course in the subject. The study is not costly, and the book shows how it can be done with the minimum expense for apparatus and materials. In addition, many of the objections which have been advanced against its introduction into schools have been removed by the arrangement of the experiments. From an educational point of view it can be made just as profitable as the study of any other branch of science, and the knowledge gained by the pupils will be of lasting benefit throughout life. The arrangement of the practical part of the work is the result of the experience gained during many years in teaching large and successful classes in Human Physiology, and the experiments have been chosen so as to be within the reach of a first year's student.
