profession. Advocating the highest standard of morals and honor, THE NEWS will be an 

 unsparing opponent of quackery in its countless forms. As the recognized national organ 

 of the regular profession, it is the chosen vehicle for the conveyance of the most important 

 intelligence from all parts of the country. 



The general plan of THE NEWS affords ample space for the presentation of articles upon all 

 branches of medical science. The opening pages are devoted to Original Lectures by 

 the ablest teachers of the day, which are invariably revised by their authors before publi- 

 cation, thus insuring an authenticity and exactitude otherwise unattainable. In the de- 

 partment of Original Articles, THE NEWS will endeavor, as heretofore, to surpass its 

 contemporaries in the intrinsic value of its contributions. Under the caption of Hos- 

 pital Notes is laid open the vast and rich store of clinical information developed in 

 the chief hospitals of the globe. The department of Medical Progress consists of con- 

 densations of articles of importance appearing in the leading medical, pharmaceutical 

 and scientific journals of the world. The Editorial Articles are from the pens of a 

 large and able EDITORIAL, BOARD, and discuss living subjects in all departments of med- 

 ical science in a thoughtful, independent and scholarly manner. Important subjects, re- 

 quiring unusually elaborate consideration, are treated in Special Articles. The Pro- 

 ceedings of Societies in all parts of the country afford a means of imparting valuable 

 information, for which due space is reserved. For the collection of News Items, and 

 for Correspondence, THE NEWS enjoys an organization similar to that of a daily 

 newspaper, and by mail and telegraph receives notice of all professional events of interest 

 through special correspondents, located in the following cities: In the United States: 

 Portland, Boston, New York, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Washington, Charleston, New Or- 

 leans, Cincinnati, Chicago, Detroit, Kansas City and San Francisco. In Canada : Mon- 

 treal. In Great Britain : London and Edinburgh. In Continental Europe : Paris, Berlin, 

 Vienna and Florence. In Asia : Yokohama, Canton, Hong Kong and Calcutta. In South 

 America : Kio Janeiro and Valparaiso. In Cuba : Havana. Due attention will be paid 

 to New Publications, New Instruments and New Pharmaceutical Pre- 

 parations, and a column will be devoted to Notes and Queries. Space is reserved 

 each week for accurate reports of all changes in the Army and Navy Medical 

 Service. 



THE MEDICAL NEWS appears in a double-columned quarto form, printed by the latest 

 improved Hoe speed presses, on handsome paper, from a clear, easily read type, specially 

 cast for its use. 



It will thus be seen that THE MEDICAL NEWS employs all the approved methods of 

 modern journalism in its efforts to render itself indispensable\to the profession; and, in the 

 anticipation of an unprecedented circulation, its subscription has been placed at the ex- 

 ceedingly low rate of $5 per annum, in advance. At this price it ranks as the cheapest 

 medical periodical in this country, and when taken in connection with THE AMERICAN JOUR- 

 NAL at NINE DOLLARS per annum, it is confidently asserted that a larger amount of 

 material of the highest class is offered than can be obtained elsewhere, even at a much 

 higher price.
