| THE PHYSIOLOGY OF MAN BY AUSTIN FLINT, Jrp
! NJ. ID. svO. PIP. 526 ID. Appleton Co.
The third volume of Prof Flints valuable work is
devoted to the subjects of Secretion and Excrei0n
the Ductless Glands Nutrition; Animal Heat
| Movements ; and tho Voice and Speech. Each of
the volumes already issued forms in itself separate
and distinct treatise upon certain cOgnate branches
| of human physiology; the system will be pur-
| sued in treating of the two remaining subjects,
namely the functions Of the system and the
| processes of generation and development. With
| these we shall have complete cursus of
the physiology Of man, and n creditable mon
ument TO American scholarship. The volume
now before us derives a peculiar interest from the
fact that Dr. Flint discusses IN 1t certain subjects
which he has made peculiarly his own by original
| experiments and discoveries. To him belongs the
credit of discovering excretory function OF the
liver-the separation of choesterne from the blood
of which be published an account in 1862. lie has
devoted great deal of attention also TO the glyco-
genie or sugar-forming function of the liver, which,
though for some time in dispute, seems now to be
generally admitted by the best authorities and has
established by original Investigations the mechan-
ism of that curious process Although these subjects
are not treated here with the fulness that could be
allowed them in scientific monograph, they are suf-
cienty developed for the purposes Of the ordinary
student, and form very interesting as well as very
| important chapters.
