| Summary: | "The term Physiology is derived from two Greek words, which, united, signify the science of life. In its widest sense, it is applied alike to animals and vegetables, but is more generally used in reference to man. The study of this science has heretofore been mostly confined to members of the medical profession, and others only who possessed very general information on scientific subjects. But of late it is happily becoming a popular branch of education, and its importance as such is now generally acknowledged.
