questions of proper food, of the water supply, its potability 

 and distribution, matters relating to drainage and diseases de- 

 pendent on it as well as experimental studies, or laboratory 

 investigations on bacteriology, will form a prominent portion 

 of the material presented during the year, and it is to be hoped 

 that physicians of all sections of the country will send papers 

 upon these or any other subjects which will be of general in- 

 terest. 



" Special attention will also be paid to the subject of health 

 resorts, descriptions of Sanitariums with special reference to 

 their suitability to certain cases, and the proper selection of 

 patients likely to be benefited by them. The utmost care will 

 be taken that this JOURNAL shall assume and maintain the 

 highest scientific character. It will be absolutely independent 

 in its principles-/^ towards all. It will depend for its main- 

 tenance upon the support given to it by the prefession, as iUs 

 not published in the interest of any special section or clique,"
