Excerpt from The Goulstonian Lectures on the Sensibility of the Alimentary Canal: Delivered at the Royal College of Physicians, on March 14, 16& 21, 1911 With the exception of a short addition to the chapter on hunger, made in accordance with a suggestion of Sir William Allchin, and the references to the work of Weber, Steinhauser, Gliicksmann and Kast and Meltzer, this book is a reprint of the Goulstonian Lectures, as they were delivered in March 1911 before the Royal College of Physicians and published in The Lancet in April and May 1911. A division into chapters has been substituted for the original division into lectures. A preliminary account of some of the observations recorded in these lectures was published in the Journal of Physiology, xxxvii, 481, 1908, and in a somewhat fuller form in the Guy's Hospital Reports, Ixiv, 393, 1910. I desire to offer my sincere thanks to the authorities of the Royal College of Physicians for the honour they conferred upon me by their invitation to deliver these lectures. I also desire to express my gratitude to my co-workers, whose names appear in the text, as without their help the investigations, upon which these lectures are based, could never have been carried out, and to Dr. C. H. Rippmann for reading the manuscript and for many helpful criticisms. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
