INDEX MEDICUS. 



A MONTHLY CLASSIFIED RECORD OF THE CURRENT MEDICAL LITERATURE OF 



THE WORLD. 



The Index Medicus was established in 1879, under the editorship of Dr. John S. 

 Billings and Dr. Robert Fletcher, and was discontinued in 1899. The volumes of 

 this first series are now out of print. The Carnegie Institution of Washington 

 began the printing of the second series with the number of January 1903. Each 

 number presents the literature of the month named on its cover and is issued as 

 early as possible in the succeeding month, time being allowed for the arrival of 

 foreign journals. The editor is Fielding H. Garrison, M.D. 



This publication consists of the titles in full of books, pamphlets, theses, con- 

 tributions to co-operative works and original articles in journals, transactions of 

 medical and scientific societies, and the like, arranged under subject-headings. The 

 titles in certain languages, as Russian, Polish, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Hungarian, 

 Bohemian, Roumanian, and Japanese, are translated into English. A table of con- 

 tents accompanies each number, and a few months after the completion of each 

 volume an "Annual Index of Authors and Subjects" is issued. The subject part 

 of this annual index is elaborately subdivided, the classification resembling that of 

 the Index Catalogue of the Library of the Surgeon General's Office, U. S. Army.
