THE PHYSIOLOGIST’S NOTE-BOOK: A SUMMARY OF THE Present State of Physiological Science for Students.
BY
ALEX HILL, M.A., M.D.,
Master of Downing College, Cambridge.
With Numerous Illustrations and Blank Pages for MS. Notes.
General Contents.--The Blood--The Vascular System--The Nerves--Muscle--Digestion--The Skin--The Kidneys--Respiration--The Senses--Voice and Speech--Central Nervous System--Reproduction--Chemistry of the Body.
CHIEF FEATURES OF DR. HILL’S NOTE-BOOK.
1. It helps the Student to CODIFY HIS KNOWLEDGE. 2. Gives a grasp of BOTH SIDES of an argument. 3. Is INDISPENSABLE for RAPID RECAPITULATION.
The Lancet says of it:--“The work which the Master of Downing College modestly compares to a Note-book is an ADMIRABLE COMPENDIUM of our present information . . . will be a REAL ACQUISITION to Students . . . gives all ESSENTIAL POINTS. . . . The TYPOGRAPHICAL ARRANGEMENT is a chief feature of the book. . . . Secures at a glance the EVIDENCE on both sides of a theory.”
The Hospital says:--“The Physiologist’s Note-book bears the hall-mark of the Cambridge School, and is the work of one of the most successful of her teachers. . . . Will be INVALUABLE to students.”
The British Medical Journal commends in the volume--“Its admirable diagrams, its running bibliography, its clear Tables, and its concise statement of the anatomical aspects of the subject.”
“If a Student could rely on remembering every word which he had ever heard or read, such a book as this would be unnecessary; but experience teaches that he constantly needs to recall the form of an argument and to make sure of the proper =classification of his facts=, although he does not need a second time to follow the author up all the short steps by which the ascent was first made. With a view to rendering the book useful for rapid recapitulation, I have endeavoured to strike out every word which was not essential to clearness, and thus, without I hope falling into ‘telegram’ English, to give the text the form which it may be supposed to take in a well-kept Note-book; at the same time, space has been left for the =introduction in MS.= of such additional facts and arguments as seem to the reader to bear upon the subject-matter. For the same reason the drawings are reduced to =diagrams=. All details which are not necessary to the comprehension of the principles of construction of the apparatus or organ, as the case may be, are omitted, and it is hoped that the drawings will, therefore, be easy to grasp, remember, and reproduce.
“As it is intended that the ‘Note-book’ should be essentially a Student’s book, no references are given to foreign literature or to recondite papers in English; but, on the other hand, references are given to a number of =classical English memoirs=, as well as to descriptions in text-books which appear to me to be particularly lucid, and the Student is strongly recommended to study the passages and Papers referred to.”--Extract from Author’s Preface.

Professor in the Victoria University, Brackenbury Professor of Physiology and Histology in the Owens College, Manchester; and Examiner in the Universities of Oxford, Edinburgh, and London; and for the Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons, England.

“The student is enabled to perform for himself most of the experiments usually shown in a systematic course of lectures on physiology, and the practice thus obtained must prove INVALUABLE. . . . May be confidently recommended as a guide to the student of physiology, and, we doubt not, will also find its way into the hands of many of our scientific and medical practitioners.”--Glasgow Medical Journal.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
“The general plan of the work is ADMIRABLE. . . . It is very evident that the suggestions given are the outcome of a PROLONGED EXPERIENCE in teaching Practical Histology, combined with a REMARKABLE JUDGMENT in the selection of METHODS. . . . Merits the highest praise for the ILLUSTRATIONS, which are at once clear and faithful.”--British Medical Journal.
“We can confidently recommend this small but CONCISELY-WRITTEN and ADMIRABLY ILLUSTRATED work to students. They will find it to be a VERY USEFUL and RELIABLE GUIDE in the laboratory, or in their own room. All the principal METHODS of preparing tissues for section are given, with such precise directions that little or no difficulty can be felt in following them in their most minute details. . . . The volume proceeds from a MASTER in his craft.”--Lancet.
“We have no doubt the OUTLINES will meet with most favourable acceptance among workers in Histology.”--Glasgow Medical Journal.

Transcriber’s Notes
This text follows the original work. Inconsistencies in spelling, hyphenation, capitalisation, etc. have been retained, except as mentioned below. This applies to chemical compound names as well.
Textual remarks: Page 13, Footnote [18], Jerome Cardan: also known as Jérôme Cardan, Girolamo Cardano, Hieronymus Cardanus. Page 18, Praag van, Leonides: should be Leonides van Praag, Isidorus. This is the (enlarged) Dutch translation of Werber’s book. Page 52: reference to the separate article on (the detection of) Tin: there is no such article in the book. Page 62, footnote [55]: micro-millimetre should be micro-metre. Page 175, structural formulas: the original work gives two identical structural formulas; both are correct, but they do not show the difference between the two compounds. Page 192, that of Borussica: possibly a typographical error for Borussia (Borussica is the adjective). Page 399, 18·1 mgrms. (·18 grain): at least one of the numbers is wrong (possibly the second number should be ·28). Page 507: 6·4 mgmrs. (1 grain): this should probably be either 64 mgrms. or ·1 grain. In the context, the latter seems more probable. Buchner/Büchner are different persons, both are spelled correctly. Hofman/Hoffman/Hofmann/Hoffmann, Köhler/Koehler, Liné/Linné, Pellagra/Pellagri, Schuchardt/Schuchart: possibly these are spelling variants or typographical errors referring to the same persons. Kapferschlaeger: should possibly be Kupferschlaeger. Schaufféle: should possibly be Schauffele or Schäuffele. The index has been left as in the original work, even though it is not always alphabetic. Advertisements: there are some references to pages 35 and 36 of the advertisements. These pages were not present in the original.
Changes made to the text Some minor obvious punctuation and typographical errors have been corrected silently. French accents and German umlauts have been added or corrected where needed. Multi-page tables have been combined into single tables; many tables have been re-arranged. Structural formulas have been moved to separate lines. Some sections starting with § were printed as section headers in the original work; they have been treated as regular numbered sections here. Footnotes have been moved to under the paragraph, table, etc. they refer to.
