Mcfarland's Biology: Medical And General

Biology: Medical and General___By Joseph McFarland, M. D.

Professor of Pathology and Bacteriology in the Medico-Chirurgical College of Phila. 12mo, 457 pages, 160 illustrations. Cloth, $1.75 net.

NEW (3d) EDITION-published January, 1917

This work is both a general and medical biology. The former because it discusses the peculiar nature and reactions of living substance generally; the latter because particular emphasis is laid on those subjects of special interest and value in the study and practice of medicine. The illustrations will be found of great assistance.

Frederic P. Gorham, A. M., Brown University.

" I am greatly pleased with it. Perhaps the highest praise which I can give the book is to say that it more nearly approaches the course I am now giving in general biology than any other work".

Stengel & Fox's Pathology

Pathology. By Alfred Stengel, M. D., Sc. D., Professor of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania; and Herbert Fox, M. D., Director of the Pepper Laboratories of Clinical Medicine, University of Pennsylvania. Octavo of 1045 pages, with 468 text-illustrations, many in colors, and 15 colored plates. Cloth, $6.00 net.

New matter equivalent to 175 pages has been added and some 75 new illustrations, many of them in colors. The work is a handsome volume of over 1000 pages. In the first portions, devoted to general pathology, the sections on inflammation, retrogressive processes, disorders of nutrition and metabolism, general etiology, and diseases due to bacteria were wholly rewritten or very largely recast. A new section on transmissible diseases was added; the terata were included, with a synoptical chapter on teratology. The glands of internal secretion were given a separate chapter, and new chapters on the pathology of eye, ear, and skin were added. August, 1915.

Stiles' Human Physiology

(Published July, 1916)

The simplicity, the clearness with which Dr. Stiles presents this difficult subject makes the work decidedly valuable as a text-book for High Schools and General Colleges.

Stiles' Nutritional Physiology

THIRD EDITION-published February, 1918

Prof. Stiles' work opens with a brief but adequate presentation of the physiology of free-living cells and leads up to the more complex function in man. It discusses the role each organ, each secretion plays in the physiology of nutrition-in the transformation of energy.

Jordan's General Bacteriology

A Text-Book of General Bacteriology. By Edwin O. Jordan, Ph.D., Professor of Bacteriology in the University of Chicago and in Rush Medical College. Octavo of 667 pages, illustrated. Cloth, $3.25 net.

FIFTH EDITION - published September. 1916

Professor Jordan's work embraces the entire field of bacteriology, the nonpathogenic as well as the pathogenic bacteria being considered, giving greater emphasis, of course, to the latter. There are extensive chapters on methods of studying bacteria, including staining, biochemical tests, cultures, etc.; on the development and composition of bacteria ; on enzymes and fermentation-products; on the bacterial production of pigment, acid and alkali; and on ptomains and toxins. Especially complete is the presentation of the serum treatment of gonorrhea, diphtheria, dysentery, and tetanus. The relation of bovine to human tuberculosis and the ocular tuberculin reaction receive extensive consideration.

This work will also appeal to academic and scientific students. It contains chapters on the bacteriology of plants, milk and milk-products, air, agriculture, water, food preservatives, the processes of leather tanning, tobacco curing, and vinegar making ; the relation of bacteriology to household administration and to sanitary engineering, etc.

Prof. Severance Burrage, Associate Professor of Sanitary Science, Purdue University.

" I am much impressed with the completeness and accuracy of the book. It certainly covers the ground more completely than any other American book that I have seen".

Wadsworth's Postmortems

Postmortem Examinations. By William S. Wadsworth, M. D., Coroner's Physician of Philadelphia. Octavo of 600 pages, with 304 original illustrations. Cloth, $6.00 net.

BASED ON 4000 POSTMORTEMS

This new work is based on Dr. Wadsworth's sixteen years' constant study of the human body and of some 4000 postmortems. So far as possible the principles are presented rather than rules. The actual technic is explained in detail - far more fully than in any other work. Many errors, commonly accepted as facts, are pointed out and corrected. A strong feature is the great attention given to the interpretation of findings.

The illustrations are actual photographs taken by Dr. Wadsworth himself. They are photographs of the fresh cadaver - not of preserved specimens.

Anatomists, surgeons, medical men of all departments will find a great deal of real value. To those who are called upon to perform postmortem examinations this new book is indispensable because it gives them the new technic, the new interpretation of findings, the last word on the subject. November, 1915
