Excerpt from Of Physiology: Or Essays on Life, Health, Hygiene, Disease, and Cure of Disease
The following Essays are not offered as a system of Physiology, nor even as an epitome of that noble science; but simply, as the title imports, as physiological fragments, principally relating to the more prominent functions of life, as exhibited in health and disease, - the highest and lowest conditions of humanity.
These fragments are some of the recollections of physiological study, undertaken many years ago as a preparation for professional life; and were then deemed worthy of the careful study of the medical student. In later years, the science has been enriched by new developments and illustrations, which render a full understanding of its teachings more worthy of the most careful attention of the practising physician.
