TERMS. 



THE SUBSCRIPTION TO THE 



AMERICAN JOURNAL OF THE MEDICAL SCIENCES 



/ FIfVE i*0i.f JS PER AJWilJU. 



When this amount is paid in advance, the subscriber thereby becomes entitled to the 



MEDICAL NEWS AND LIBRARY FOR ONE YEAR, GRATIS, 



When ordered separately, the price of the " News" is ONE DOLLAR per annum, invariably in 



advance. 



For the small sum, therefore, of FIVE DOLLARS, the subscriber can obtain a Quarterly and 

 a Monthly Journal of the highest character, presenting about 



Fifteen hundred large octavo pages, with numerous Illustrations, 



Rendering these among 



The Cheapest of American Medical Periodicals, 



Those who are desirous of subscribing are recommended to forward their names without loss of 

 time, as the increase of the subscription list has almost exhausted the whole edition printed for the 

 present year, and the publishers cannot pledge themselves to supply copies unless ordered early. 



REDUCTION OF POSTAGE. 



Under the new postage law, subscribers to the American Journal of the Medical Sciences are 

 entitled to the benefit of the half rates of postage for advance payment, which is thus defined in 

 the Post Master General's circular of June llth, 1851 : 



" When a periodical is published only quarterly, the actual and bona fide subscriber to such 

 periodical may pay in advance, and have the benefit of such advance payment, provided he pays 

 to the postmaster at the office where he is to receive the periodical, before its delivery." 



It will therefore be seen that the subscriber has only to pay for each number before taking it 

 out of the office, in order to secure the benefit of the half postage, which is as follows: 

 For any distance under 500 miles, - - - cent per ounce, 

 " " between 500 and 1500 miles, - 1 " " 



" " " 1500 and 2500 " - H " " 



When the postage is not thus paid in advance, it will be at double these rates. 

 The Medical News and Library pays postage as a newspaper. Each number weighs between 

 one and two ounces. Subscribers will therefore, under the new postage law, pay in advance for 

 each quarter as follows : 



For any distance under 50 miles, - - - 1 cents per quarter. 

 " between 50 and 300 miles, - 2j " " 



" " 300 and 1000 miles, - 3f " " 



" " 1000 and 2000 miles, 5 " "
