Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Mercers' Company Lectures on Recent Advances in the Physiology of Digestion: Delivered in the Michaelmas Term, 1905, in the Physiological Department of University College, London
IN recognition of a generous gift by the Mercers' Company in aid of the work of the Physiological Department at University College, the Council of the College resolved that a course of 'lectures should be given each year dealing with the original investigations made in the Department.
In presenting this first course of Mercers' Company Lectures I have attempted, in the light of researches which have been carried out in this laboratory, to give an appreciation of the present state of our knowledge on certain aspects of the subject of digestion, in preference to describing at length the researches themselves, which can be read in the original papers enumerated at the end of this book.
