cost of Six DOLLARS per annum. 



The three periodicals thus offered are universally known for their high professional 

 standing in their several spheres. 



THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF THE MEDICAL SCIENCES, 



EDITED BY I. MINIS 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 the 

 whole of which time it has been under the control of the presentseuior editor. Through- 

 out this long period, it has maintained its position in the highest rank of medical peri- 

 odicals both at home and abroad, and has received the cordial support of the entire 

 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 its original department a truly national exponent of American medicine.* 



Following this is the ''REVIEW DEPARTMENT," containing extended and impartial 

 reviews of important new works, together with numerous elaborate "ANALYTICAL AND 

 BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTICES" giving a complete survey of medical literature. 



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 medical progress abroad as well as at home. 



Thus, during the year 1878, the "JOURNAL" furnished to its subscribers 77 Original 

 Communications, 133 Reviews and Bibliographical Notices, and 255 articles in the 

 Quarterly Summaries, making a total of FOUR HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FIVE articles 

 illustrated with 48 maps and wood engravings, 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 

 leading organ of medical progress:

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

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

 when paid for in advance, the subscriber receives in addition the "MEDICAL NEWS AND 

 LIBRARY," making in all about 1500 large octavo pages per annum, free of postage. 



THE MEDICAL NEWS AND LIBRARY 



is a monthly periodical of Thirty-two large octavo pages, making 384 pages^ per 

 annum. Its ''LIBRARY DEPARTMENT" is devoted to publishing standard works on the 

 various branches of medical science, paged separately, so that they can be detached 

 for finding, when complete. In this manner subscribers have received, without ex- 

 pense, such works as "WATSON'S PRACTICE," "WEST ON CHILDREN," "MALGAIGNE'S 

 SURGERY," "STOKES ON FEVER," GOSSELIN'S "CLINICAL LECTURES ON SURGERY," and 

 many other volumes of the highest reputation and usefulness. With July, LS7'8. was
