2 HENRY C. LEA'S SON & Co.'s PUBLICATIONS The Medical News. 



enjoyed a journal national in the widest sense of the word, devoted to the highest ideals 

 of professional morals and honor, an unsparing enemy of quackery and fraud, a scientific 

 magazine in elaboration, and a newspaper in energy and vitality. They believe that in 

 every respect it has fulfilled its promises. Its readers and contributors are found in every 

 State and Territory; its Editorial Staff includes some of the brightest minds in the 

 profession, and in every issue living topics are editorially discussed in a scholarly and prac- 

 tical manner ; its corps of qualified reporters and correspondents covers all the medical 

 centres of both hemispheres, and secures for its columns the earliest information on 

 matters of medical interest, and its reports of Medical Progress are culled from all the 

 important professional journals published on both continents. 



The determination of THE NEWS to maintain its position as the leading medical 

 weekly of America, is evidenced by the special cable dispatches from its own representa- 

 tive at the recent International Medical Congress in Copenhagen. Its special articles on 

 Koch's discovery of the Bacillus of Cholera have likewise commanded the attention of 

 the profession, press and laity in all parts of the country. In short, its unrivalled 

 organization enables THE NEWS each week to lay upon the table of its readers an epit- 

 ome of a week's advance of the whole medical world. 



THE NEWS, always endeavoring to enhance its usefulness, has pleasure in announcing 

 to the profession that arrangements have been perfected for the publication during this 

 year of a highly valuable series of practical articles by eminent men on the more im- 

 portant diseases met with by every practitioner in his daily duties. 



Original articles from foreign authorities may also be expected, the first of which 

 appeared in the issue of January 5th, 1884, on DIGITAL EXPLORATION OF THE BLADDER 

 IN OBSCURE VESICAL DISEASES, WITH ITS RESULTS, with 7 original illustrations, by SIR 

 HENRY THOMPSON, of London, Surgeon Extraordinary to the King of the Belgians, etc. 

 From the high character of the articles already published, a fair conception may be 

 formed of the value of the series to every professional man in active practice. 



In typographical appearance, THE NEWS of 1884 shows an advance even upon 

 the issues of 1882-83, and nothing has been left undone to economize the time and promote 

 the comfort of its readers. It 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. 



THE MEDICAL NEWS employs all the approved methods of modern journalism with 

 the intention of rendering itself indispensable to the profession ; and, in the anticipation of 

 an unprecedented circulation, its subscription has been placed at the exceedingly 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 JOURNAL 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.
