Ex library rubber stamp. Very good. RARE. FIRST EDITION. Throughout his life Macewen devoted much time to the study of bone growth. Macewen became interested in the biology of bone and carried out a long and critical series of experiments on animals in order to determine the manner in which bones grow and the conditions underlying their repair. He came to the conclusion that the membrane which covers bone (periosteum) cannot produce bone. He published an account of his inquiries in The growth of bone. His researches revolutionized ideas concerning osteogenesis. Garrison and Morton 656.1.
