A FOURTH EDITION, ENLARGED AND CORRECTED, OF

THE PRINCIPLES OF PHYSIOLOGY

APPLIED TO THE

PRESERVATION OF HEALTH,

AND TO THE IMPROVEMENT OF

PHYSICAL AND MENTAL EDUCATION.

By ANDREW COMBE, M.D.

FELLOW OF THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS OF EDINBURGH, AND
CONSULTING PHYSICIAN TO THEIR MAJESTIES THE KING
AND QUEEN OF THE BELGIANS.

“The work of Dr Combe is, to a great extent, we think, original.”—“The style is so plain, and the arguments so convincing, that no person can fail to perceive how intimately his health and happiness are connected with the truths which the author has endeavoured to enforce.”—“The aim of the author has been to speak to the whole community.”—“His book most admirably applies to persons of all conditions, and to every variety of situation.”—Quart. Journal of Education, Oct. 1834.

“This little work, though not designed for the medical profession, may prove very useful to the medical student—perhaps to many medical practitioners. Be this as it may, it is calculated to prove of eminent service to the reading and more intelligent portions of the public at large.”—Medico-Chirurg. Review, No. XLI.

“We would strongly recommend the perusal of Dr Combe’s excellent work; it is far superior to any of the kind that we have met with.”—Dr Clark in Cyclop. of Pract. Medicine, Part XXIII.

“We are refreshed and delighted with a book that, after perusal, is associated in our minds with much instruction.”—London Med. and Surg. Journal, No. CXXXIV.

“The valuable series of the Family Library embraces no work that bids fairer to acquire—and certainly no number which deserves—a wider popularity.”—Review of American Edition in the Knickerbocker, or New York Monthly Magazine, Aug. 1834.

“We should have been contented to have left the merits of this volume to the decision of journals whose more immediate province it is to discuss such matters; but on looking over the book we have found so much to interest us, and so much that is of importance to our readers to know, that we feel we should have neglected a duty had we omitted to recommend it to the public.”—Monthly Magazine, Oct. 1834.

OBSERVATIONS

ON

MENTAL DERANGEMENT, &c.

By ANDREW COMBE, M. D.

In the above work, dedicated to the elucidation of the Causes, Symptoms, Nature, and Treatment of the various Morbid States of the Brain and Nervous System which are productive of Insanity, the Author has endeavoured to apply the same pathological principles by which we are guided in our investigations into diseases of the other bodily organs, and to point out the analogy which subsists between many of these and the less familiar affections of the nervous system.

Dr Combe’s “work upon insanity is short, and sound, and modest, like all that gentleman’s writings, and richly deserving the perusal of every educated person, whether in the profession or not.”—Dr son’s Clinical Lecture on Insanity in Medical Gazette, No. CLXX.

“The work is not surpassed by any one of its kind in medical science.”—Medico-Chirurgical Review, No. XXXI.

“We have perused no other book containing so much of common sense on the subject of madness, or which presents such striking, instructive, and practical analogies between that and the diseases of other parts of the system, and which renders the reader so familiar with the complaint, by demonstrating its affinity to other affections intimately known to him.”—The Medical Magazine of Boston for July 1833.

“The copiousness of our extracts from Dr Combe’s work (nearly thirty pages), is the best evidence we can give of our opinion of its general merits.”—North Amer. Med. and Surg. Journal, No. XXIII.
