the Organ will be published in a few weeks, under the title : Zentral- 

 blatt für die gesamte innere Medizin und ihre Grenzgebiete. The 

 Journal will be conducted by a committee appointed by the Congress 

 (for the present consisting of von Müller of Municli, von Noorden 

 of Vienna, and His and Schwalbe of Berlin), and, like the Chem- 

 ische Zentralblatt, will consist exclusively of abstracts. These will 

 Cover as completely as possible the whole extent of internal medicine 

 and its allied fields. In this way the new Zentralblatt will be the 

 most comprehensive in the world's medical literature. The annual 

 subscription will be about $30 (120 marks). The members of the 

 Congress for Internal Medicine receive a discount of 25 per cent. 

 Furthermore, the old Zentralblatt für innere Medizin will be con- 

 tinued under the leadership of Dr. A. Schmidt of Halle, but it will 

 be intended especially for internists who are not engaged in scientific 

 work and for general practitioners.
