Excerpt from A Laboratory Manual of Experimental Physiology (Including General Physiology) Experimental physiology is now recognized as a fundamental subject in the curriculum of the medical student and as one having a most important place in the training of the student of biology. In the medical course, the physiological laboratory serves as the portal to the clinic; as the testing ground where the student may try for himself in how far the known laws of physics and chemistry can be successfully employed to explain the normal working of the human machine. NO more can theoretical study, or demonstra tion, by itself supply a correct understanding of the functions of the living body than could similar methods in training an engineer to understand an engine. Attempts to rectify, by Operations or by drugs, functional derangement in the diseased animal without a practical knowledge of the normal working of the various organs, both isolated and as a whole must be as unjustifiable as attempting to repair a complicated piece of machinery would be by any other than a practical engineer. In the training of the biologist, experimental physiology finds its value because it teaches how to interpret the relationship be tween structure and function. For the advancement of physio logical knowledge it is essential that the functions of the lower animals should be more intensively investigated by those who have been trained in the methods of the experimental physiologist.
