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. It 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 



ORIGINAL COMMUNICATIONS 



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

 1874, articles have appeared in its pages from nearly one hundred gentlemen of the 

 highest standing in the profession throughout the United States.* 



Following this is the "REVIEW 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 DISCOVERIES 

 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 1874, the "JOURNAL" furnished to its subscribers 85 Orig- 

 inal Communications, 113 Reviews and Bibliographical Notices, and 305 articles in 

 the Quarterly Summaries, making a total of about FIVE HUNDRED 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), at, the head of which 

 the great work of Dr. Hays, the American Journal 

 of the Medical Sciences, still holds its ground, as our 

 quotations have often proved. Dublin Med. Press 

 uitd Circular, Jan. 31, 1872. 



Of English periodicals the Lancet, and of American 

 the Am. Journal of the Medical Sciences, are to be 

 regarded as necessities to the reading practitioner.

 itself a reputation in every country where medicine 

 is cultivated as a science. Brit, and For. Med.-Chi-

This, if not the best, is one of the best-conducted 

 medical quarterlies in the English language, and the 

 present number is not by any means inferior to its 

 predecessors. London Lancet, Aug. 23, 1873.

The subscription price of the " AMERICAN JOURNAL OF THE MEDICAL SCIENCES" has 

 never been raised during its long career. It is still FIVE DOLLARS per annum ; and
