Descrizione Ebook The Work of the Digestive Glands
IN preparing a second English edition of the work OF the digestive glands the translator (with the permission of the author) has endeavoured to bring the subject-matter up to date without materially enlarging the Scope of the work. The addi tions are chie?y culled from the results of investigations carried out along lines already indicated in the previous edition, by pupils or former pupils of the St. Petersburg Laboratory. With the exception of Lecture IV. — which is largely new and written from material supplied by Professor Pavlov — they are widely scattered throughout the book. Two new chapters (x. And XI.) on the Muscular Movements of the Alimentary Canal have also been added by the translator. It is hoped they will increase the usefulness of the work. For the sake of uniformity they have been put in lecture form. Several new illustrations have been added, and grateful acknowledgments are made to Professor Starling and to Dr. Arthur Hertz for their permission to use certain of these as well as for the loan of some of the electrotypes employed in them. One other change has been made in this edition. English equivalents of Russian proper names have been used for the most part throughout.
