Abstract
THIS little volume consists of a series of short papers giving the results of practical investigations into the behaviour of certain substances, such as starch, cod-liver oil, boiled and unboiled milk, &c., when used as articles of food by infants and adults. Many of the papers are of interest; all of them show evidence that in the University of Philadelphia, physiology is not taught as a matter of book-learning, but that the students are instructed in the practical bearings of the science.
Notes on the Physiological Laboratory of the University of Pennsylvania.
