"Müller's work began a new era in the study of physiology: he pioneered the use of experimental methods in medicine, introduced the element of psychology into physiological investigation ... and made the first attempts to explain physiologica l problems in terms of existing comparative physical and chemical knowledge" [Norman Catalog]. "Müller's Handbuch is the great classic of the nineteenth century in the field of physiology. Here he summarizes the advances of the preceding dec ades and successfully integrates the contributions of other fields, notably comparative chemistry, physics, and psychology. It is largely through this work that physiology emerged as a medical discipline under Müller's leadership" [Heirs].

Philip was "a prominent author who carried out numerous observations and engaged in several controversies. He rejected the dictum of the famous chemist Prout that chemistry was for the physiologist what anatomy meant for surgeons, declaring t hat chemistry was incapable of explaining a single law concerning the vital functions. In 1815 he expressed his belief in the identity of the living principle and electricity, demonstrating that the gastric secretion could be maintained through electric stimulation of a severed vagus nerve. Following in the steps of the French author Legallois, in 1817-18, Philip examined the dependence of the cardiac function upon the brain. . . . Other observations of Philip were directed at the nervous influence on i ntestinal peristalsis [this booi]" [Rothschuh History of Physiology, pp. 183-184].
