SCHOOL OF PHYSIOLOGY AND SURGERY.
Prof. Cabell.
I. In Physiology the lectures are illustrated by plates, and the students
are instructed in Histology as well as in Physiology proper.
Much attention is given throughout the course to the practical bearings
of physiological and histological facts on pathology, and their relations
to the nature and treatment of disease. Extra lectures are given, commencing
about the middle of December, at which the students are questioned
on all that part of Physiology which they have studied previously.
It has been found that these "review lectures" are very useful
to the students as a preparation for the final examinations.
II. In Surgery especial attention is given to the causation and pathology
of the various surgical affections, and the lectures are illustrated
by excellent paintings and by morbid specimens. The applications of
splints and apparatus for the different fractures and the details of minor
surgery are practically exhibited to the class.
Text-books.—Yeo's Manual of Physiology; Power's Human Physiology, (American edition);
Wilson's Manual of Hygiene and Sanitary Science (fifth edition, 1884); Ashurst's
