A 1930 volume of the Sammlung Göschen (Heinrich Wieleitner's
Algebraische Kurven) on my shelf, plus the catalog of the Princeton
University Library, suggests the following might be the title you're
looking for:
Author: Junker, Friedrich Heinrich, 1864-
Title: Hoehere analysis ... / von Fr. Junker ...
Publication: Leipzig, G.J. Goeschen, 1920-29.
Series: Sammlung Goeschen ; Bd. 87-88
Contents: 1. T. Differentialrechnung -- 2. T. Integralrechnung.
The catalog of the collection in my volume says the book was originally
written by Junker and newly revised by A. Witting.
