Abstract
THIS book is intended for medical students who have completed a course of general physics, and is therefore limited to the study of the physical properties of tissues, the physical changes that take place in the tissues, and physical instruments of importance in physiology and pathology. In view of the slight equipment of most medical students in mathematics in Germany, as in this country, the treatment of the subject is not mathematical, diagrams and simple equations alone being used. Considering the variety of the subjects treated, the book is of very modest size. This result has been attained by keeping theoretical discussions within the narrowest limits, avoiding detail in descriptions of practical methods and apparatus, and by the use of small but excellent diagrams.
