ABSTRACT
To the student of biology and the student of that part of applied biology included in medicine, the laboratory method of learning the functions of the tissues and organs of the animal body has demonstrated its superiority over other methods, not only in impressing vividly the facts of observation, but also in demanding a discipline which furnishes to the student power to go forth with assurance in independent search. Much importance of the facts of observation lies in their relations to one another, that is, in the generalizations which may be drawn after comparing them. To save the student’s time and to afford him at the end of the course a concise and convenient account of his laboratory experiences, the descriptions of experiments have been printed only on the left-hand pages in order that the notes may be written opposite on the right-hand pages.
