BLANCHARD & LEA'S MEDICAL 



QUARTERLY SUMMARY, 



being a very full and complete abstract, methodically arranged, of the 



IMPROVEMENTS AM DISCOVERIES IN THE MEDICAL SCIENCES, 



This department of the Journal, so important to the practising physician, is the object of especial 

 care on the part of the editor, it is classified and arranged under different heads, thus facilitating 

 the researches of the reader in pursuit of particular subjects, and will be found to present a very 

 full and accurate digest of all observations, discoveries, and inventions recorded in every branch of 

 medical science. The very extensive arrangements of the publishers are such as to afford to the 

 editor complete materials for this purpose, as he not only regularly receives 



ALL THE AMERICAN MEDICAL AND SCIENTIFIC PERIODICALS, 



but also twenty or thirty of the more important Journals issued in Great Britain and on the Conti- 

 nent, thus enabling him to present in a convenient compass a thorough and complete abstract of 

 everything interesting or important to the physician occurring in any part of the civilized world. 



An evidence of the success which has attended these efforts may be found in the constant and 

 steady increase in the subscription lis-t, which renders it advisable for gentlemen desiring the 

 Journal, to make known their wishes at an early day, in order to secure a year's set with certainty, 

 the publishers having frequently been unable to supply copies when ordered late in the year. To 

 their old subscribers, many of whom have been on their list for twenty or thirty years, the publish- 

 ers lee! that no promises are necessary; but those who may desire for the first time to subscribe, 

 can rest as-sured that no exertion will be spared to maintain the Journal in the high position which 

 k has occupied for so long a period. 



By reference to the terms it will be seen that, in addition to this large amount of valuable and 

 practical information on every branch of medical science, the subscriber, by paying in advance, 

 becomes entitled, without further charge, to 



THE MEDICAL NEWS AND LIBRARY, 



a monthly periodical of thirty-two large octavo pages. Its "NEWS DEPARTMENT" presents the 

 current information of the day, while the " LIBRARY DEPARTMENT" is devoted to presenting stand- 

 ard works on various branches of medicine. Within a few years, subscribers have thus received, 

 without expense, the following works which have passed through its columns: 



WATSON'S LECTURES ON THE PRACTICE OF PHYSIC. 



BRODIE'S CLINICAL LECTURES ON SURGERY. 



TODD AND BOWMAN'S PHYSIOLOGICAL ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF MAN. 



724 pages, with numerous wood-cuts, being all that has yet appeared in England. 

 WEST'S LECTURES ON THE DISEASES OF INFANCY AND CHILDHOOD. 

 MALGAIGNE'S OPERATIVE SURGERY, with wood-cuts, and 

 SIMON'S LECTURES ON GENERAL PATHOLOGY. 



While the year 1854, presents 



BENNETT ON PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS, 



BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED ON WOOD. 

 AND 



WEST ON ULCERATION OF THE OS UTERI. 



To be followed in 1855 by 



A VALUABLE WORK ON A PRACTICAL_DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL SCIENCE, 



It Will thus be Re>en that for the small sum of FIVE DOLLARS, paid in advance, the subscriber 

 wfll obtain a Quarterly and a Monthly periodical, 



EMBRACING ABOUT FIFTEEN HUNDRED LARGE OCTAVO PAGES, 



mailed to any part of the United States, free of postage. 



These very favorable terms are now presented by the publishers with the view of removing all 

 difficulties aiid objections to a full and extended circulation of the Medical Journal to the office of 

 every member of the profession throughout the United Slates. The rapid extension of mail facili- 

 ties, will now place tbe numbers before subscribers with a certainty and dispatch not heretofore 

 attainable; while by the system uow proposed, every subscriber throughout the Union is placed 

 Hpon an equal footing, at the very reasonable price of Five Dollars for two periodicals, without 

 further expense. 



Tho^e subscribers who do not pay in advance wilt bear in mind that their subscription of Five 

 Dollars will entitle them to the Journal only, without the News, and that they will be at the expense 

 of their own postage on the receipt of each number. The advantage of a remittance when order- 

 ing the Journal wilt thus be apparent. 



As the Medical News and Library is in no case sent without advance payment, its subscriber* 

 will always receive it free of postage. 



It should also be borne in mind that the publishers will now take the risk of remittances by mail, 

 only requiring, in cases of loss, a certificate from the subscriber's Postmaster, that the money wa* 

 duly mailed and forwarded 



ISP" Funds at par at the subscriber's place of resilience received in payment of subscriptions.
