Abstract
WE are fortunate in acquiring a new edition of this standard book on physiology since it turned out to be the last work of Prof. Macleod. During his extensive investigations, he made substantial contributions to the science of physiology especially on carbohydrates, while during his many years of teaching medical students in Great Britain and in Canada he established many friends in both continents. This explains the multiple authorship of the book and the guiding principles underlying its general design: Prof. Macleod herepresents physiological principles on a strict physico-chemical basis. He has even gone further and has brought the phenomena of several diseased conditions to the same scientific basis.
