BANKING'S ABSTRACT OF THE MEDICAL SCIENCES 



Is issued in half-yearly volumes, which will be delivered to subscribers about the first 

 of February, and first of August. Each volume contains about 300 closely printed 

 octavo pages, making about six hundred pages per annum. 



"BANKING'S ABSTRACT" has now been published in England regularly for more than 

 twenty years, and has acquired the highest reputation- for the ability and industry 

 with which the essence of medical literature is condensed into its pages. It pur- 

 ports to be "A Digest of British and Continental Medicine, and of the progress of 

 Medicine and the Collateral Sciences," and it presents an abstract of all that is impor- 

 tant or interesting in European Medical Literature. Each article is carefully con- 

 densed, so as to present its substance in the smallest possible compass, thus affording 

 space for the very large amount of information laid before its readers. The volumes 

 of 1868, for instance, have thus contained 



FORTY-TWO ARTICLES ON GENERAL QUESTIONS IN MEDICINE. 



ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-NINE ARTICLES ON SPECIAL QUESTIONS IN MEDICINE. 



SEVENTEEN ARTICLES ON FORENSIC MEDICINE. 



EIGHTY-EIGHT ARTICLES ON THERAPEUTICS. 



FORTY-ONE ARTICLES ON GENERAL QUESTIONS IN SURGERY. 



ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SIX ARTICLES ON SPECIAL QUESTIONS IN SURGERY. 



ONE HUNDRED AND TWELVE ARTICLES ON MIDWIFERY AND DISEASES OF WOMEN 



AND CHILDREN. 

 SIX ARTICLES IN APPENDIX. 



Making in all nearly six hundred articles in a single year. Each volume, moreover, 

 is systematically arranged, with an elaborate Table of Contents and a very full Index, 

 thus facilitating the researches of the reader in pursuit of particular subjects, and 

 enabling him to refer without loss of time to the vast amount of information con- 

 tained in its pages. 



The subscription price of the "ABSTRACT," mailed free of postage, is Two 

 DOLLARS AND A HALF per annum, payable in advance. Single volumes, $1 50 each. 



As stated above, however, it will be supplied in conjunction with the "AMERICAN 

 JOURNAL OF THE MEDICAL SCIENCES" and the " MEDICAL NEWS AND LIBRARY," the 

 whole free of postage, for Six DOLLARS PER ANNUM IN ADVANCE. 



For this small sum the subscriber will therefore receive three periodicals costing 

 separately Eight Dollars and a Half, each of them enjoying the highest reputation in 

 its class, containing in all over TWO THOUSAND PAGES of the choicest reading, and pre- 

 senting a complete view of medical progress throughout the world. 



In this effort to bring so large an amount of practical information within the reach 

 of every member of the profession, the publisher confidently anticipates the friendly 

 aid of all who are interested in the dissemination of sound medical literature. He 

 trusts, especially, that the subscribers to the "AMERICAN MEDICAL JOURNAL" will call 

 the attention of their acquaintances to the advantages thus offered, and that he will 

 be sustained in the endeavor to permanently establish medical periodical literature on 

 a footing of cheapness never heretofore attempted. 



%* Gentlemen desiring to avail themselves of the advantages thus offered will do 

 well to forward their subscriptions at an early day, in order to insure the receipt of 

 complete sets for the year 1869. 



Hjjg' The safest mode of remittance is by postal money order, drawn to the order of 

 the undersigned. Where money order post-offices are not accessible, remittances for 

 the "JOURNAL" may be made at the risk of the publisher, by forwarding in REGISTERED 

 letters. Address,
