Mercers' Company Lectures on Recent Advances in the Physiology of Digestion by Ernest H. Starling. This book is a reproduction of the original book published in 1906 and may have some imperfections such as marks or hand-written notes.
The physiology and pathology of membrane (contact or surface) digestion of the three main components of the food of animals and man is a rapidly developing field, and there is little doubt that newer ob servations will become available as time progresses. As the dis coverer of the phenomenon of membrane digestion, Professor Ugolev is well aware of the relative infancy of this subject, and in presenting the book at this time his primary purpose was to acquaint the reader with the experimental basis for the observed phenomenon and to stimulate interest in the further work required for the elucidation of details and for proper orientation. Translations as means of communication of ideas and experimental facts are of obvious importance and they require no apologies or explanations, particularly to those who are engaged in scientific endeavors. In making this book available to those who find the Russian language an insurmountable barrier, our main efforts were directed toward preserving the author's meaning, spirit, and intent as accurately as possible. It is hoped that this objective has been attained, and that the minor unintentional errors will be forgiven by the reader and by the author. The translator wishes to express to Professor Ugolev, whom he met in Leningrad in 1965, his appreciation for the trust in the ability of the translator to make Professor Ugolev's labor oflove, the present book, available in the English language.
Excerpt from Mercers' Company Lectures on Recent Advances in the Physiology of Digestion: Delivered in the Michaelmas Term, 1905, in the Physiological Department of University College, London In recognition of a generous gift by the Mercers' Company in aid of the work of the Physiological Department at University College, the Council of the College resolved that a course of Lectures should be given each year dealing with the original investigations made in the Department. In presenting this first course of Mercers' Company Lectures I have attempted, in the light of researches which have been carried out in this laboratory, to give an appreciation of the present state of our knowledge on certain aspects of the subject of digestion, in preference to describing at length the researches themselves, which can be read in the original papers enumerated at the end of this book. The great development in this branch of Physiology, which has taken place in recent years, owes its inception to the masterly series of researches carried out by Pawlow in the Institute of Experimental Medicine at St. Petersburg, researches to which I shall have repeated occasion to refer in the course of the following Lectures. Two other important lines of investigation have presented themselves as necessary to the proper understanding of the biological facts elucidated by Pawlow. The first of these is the study of the chemical and physical conditions which determine the digestive changes in the food-stuffs.
