are now offered, and to succeed in his endeavor to place upon the table of every 

 reading practitioner in the United States the equivalent of three large octavo volumes, 

 at the comparatively trifling cost of Six DOLLARS per aintum. 



These periodicals are universally known lor their high professional standing in their 

 several spheres. 



I. 



THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF THE MEDICAL SCIENCES, 

 EDITED BY ISAAC HAYS, M.D., 



is published Quarterly, on the first of January, April, July, and October. Each num-- 

 ber contains nearly three hundred large octavo pages, appropriately illustrated wher- 

 ever necessary. Jt has now been issued regularly for over FIFTY years, during nearly 

 the whole of which time it has been under the control of the present editor. Through- 

 out this long period, it has maintained its position in the highest rank of medical 

 periodicals both at home and abroad, and has received the cordial support of the en- 

 tire profession in this country. Among its Collaborators will be found a large number 

 of the most distinguished names of the profession in every section of the United 

 States, rendering the department devoted to 



ORIOINAL COMMUNICATIONS 



full of varied and important matter, of great interest to all practitioners. Thus, during 

 Ib7(i, articles have appeared in its pages from over one hundred gentlemen of the 

 highest standing in the profession throughout the United States.* 



Following this is the "RF.VIEW DEPARTMENT," containing extended and impartial 

 reviews of all important new works, together with numerous elaborate '-ANALYTICAL 

 AND BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTICES" of nearly all the medical publications of the day. 



This is followed by the "QUARTERLY SUMMARY OF IMPROVEMENTS AND DISCOVERIF-S 

 IN THE MEDICAL SCIENCES," classified and arranged under different heads, presenting 

 a very complete digest of all that is new and interesting to the physician, abroad as 

 well as at home. 



Thus, during the year 1876, the "JOURNAL" furnished to its subscribers !)4 Orig- 

 inal Communications, 129 Reviews and Bibliographical Notices, and 22s articles in 

 the Quarterly Summaries, making a total of over FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY articles 

 emanating from the best professional minds in America and Europe. 



That the efforts thus made to maintain the high reputation of the "JOURNAL" are 

 successful, is shown by the position accorded to it in both America and Europe as a 

 national exponent of medical progress: 



America continues to take a great place in this 

 class of journals (quarterlies), ai the head of which
