Excerpt from Laboratory Manual of Physiology It has been the aim of the author, in compiling this little volume, to give an outline of experimental physiology for the guidance of students, in a brief and concise form, and sufficiently comprehensive in the subject-matter considered. Descriptions of apparatus and illustrations have, to a large extent, been omitted, since these are more properly the function of the instructor and of the student himself. For the same reason, results and conclusions of experiments have been left to the student to work out for himself, the descriptions in the text being largely confirmed to methods of procedure involved in obtaining the results. The arrangement of chapters and experiments can be modified to suit the individual instructor. The more difficult experiments may, if desired, be given as demonstrations. It has been the experience of the author that students work best in groups of two for the simpler experiments, and of four for the more complicated experiments. The selection of the experiments presented has been made with a view to the needs of the medical student and to the practical application of the first-hand knowledge, obtained in the laboratory, to medical problems, later. At the same time, it must be borne in mind that one of the main benefits to be obtained from laboratory work is the training in methods of exact observation which the students receive. The chapter on vision was prepared by Dr. Lee Hasten Francis, to whom I take this opportunity to express thanks.
