THE AMERICAN JOURNAL of the MEDICAL SCIENCES. 



(Continued from first page.) 



But it is not only in the Original Department that the JOURNAL of the future will seek 

 to^eclipse all its efforts in the past. The mass of contributions to medical literature and 

 science increases with such rapidity, that if the reader is to keep abreast with them 

 the matter must be carefully sifted, and arranged so as to enable him to grasp it 

 understandingly with the least possible expenditure of time. In the Bibliographical 

 Department, therefore, separate reviews are devoted only to works of exceptional 

 importance. ^ As a rule, new books are considered in groups of cognate subjects, the 

 reviewer setting forth tersely the merits of the individual volumes with a condensed 

 statement of the views of the authors. In this manner the reader is kept advised of 

 the products of the press in the most convenient manner. 



A similar plan is adopted in the Quarterly Summary of Progress. The various 

 branches of medical science have been assigned to the following gentlemen, who will 

 furnish well-digested resumes of progress, paying special attention to clinical application : 

 Anatomy, George D. Thane, M. E. C. S.; Physiology, Gerald F. Yeo, M. D.; Materia 

 Medica, Therapeutics and Pharmacology, Roberts Bartholow, M. D., LL. D. ; Medicine, 

 William Osier, M.D.; Surgery, in America, E. J. Hall, M. D.; in Europe, Frederick 

 Treves, F. E. C. S.; Ophthalmology, L. Webster Fox, M. D. ; Otology, Charles H. Burnett, 

 M. D.; Laryngology, J. Solis Cohen, M. D.; Dermatology, Louis A. Duhring, M. D., and H. 

 W. Stelwagon, M. D.; Midwifery and Gynecology, D. Berry Hart, M. D.; Jurisprudence. 

 Matthew Hay, M. D.; Public Health, Shirley F. Murphy, M. E. C. S. 



The publishers feel an honest pride in thus being the means of bringing together the 

 professions of the two great English-speaking peoples, and in laying before them a period- 

 ical^ which must be universally recognized as marking a new era in medical progress. 

 Believing that it will be regarded as indispensable by all intelligent physicians on both 

 sides of the Atlantic, they feel themselves warranted, by the expectation of a large in- 

 crease in circulation, in maintaining the present very moderate subscription price, not- 

 withstanding the greatly augmented expenditure entailed by the change. 



The JOURNAL will continue to be published quarterly, as heretofore, on the first of 

 January, April, July and October. 



Price, FIVE DOLLARS Per Annum, in Advance. 



THE MEDICAL NEWS. 



A National Weekly Periodical, containing 28 to 32 Quarto Pages 



in Each Issue. 



r liHE continually increasing appreciation of THE MEDICAL NEWS by the profession 

 J_ throughout the country, is a most gratifying recognition of the policy pursued by 

 the managers of this journal in their unceasing efforts to enhance its value to the 

 practitioner. 



Possessing a most efficient organization THE NEWS unites the best features of the 

 medical magazine and newspaper. Its large and able Editorial Staff discusses in each 

 issue the important topics of the day in a thoughtful and scholarly manner, while its 

 corps of qualified reporters and correspondents, covering every medical centre, insures 

 that its readers shall be promptly and thoroughly posted upon all matters of interest in 

 the world of medicine. On account of the position conceded to The News, it has become 

 the medium chosen by the leading minds of the profession for the publication of their 

 most important contributions to medical science. The valuable instruction afforded in 

 Clinical Lectures, and the rich experience gained in the leading Hospitals of the world 

 are constantly laid before the readers of The News, while prompt and authentic reports 

 of Society Proceedings are received from special reporters in various sections of the 

 country by mail and Telegraph. In the pages devoted to the progress of Medical Science 

 are found early notes of all important advances, gleaned from the principal journals 

 of both hemispheres. Ample space is devoted to Eeviews, News Items, Correspondence 

 and Notes and Queries In short, every branch of medicine is adequately represented in 

 The News, and the details of plan and typography have been carefully studied in order 

 to economize the time and secure the comfort of the reader in every possible way.
