TO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION. 



In submitting the following catalogue of our publications in medicine and 

 the collateral sciences, we beg to remark, that no exertions are spared to render the 

 issues of our press worthy a continuance of the confidence which they have thus far 

 enjoyed, both as regards the high character of the works themselves, and in respect 

 to every point of typographical accuracy and mechanical execution. Gentlemen 

 desirous of adding to their libraries from our list, can in almost all cases procure the 

 works they wish from the nearest bookseller, who can readily order any which he 

 may not have on hand. From the great variation in the expenses of transportation 

 through territories so extensive as those of the United States, prices cannot be the 

 same in all sections of the country, and therefore we are unable to affix retail prices 

 to our publications. Information on this point may be had of booksellers generally, 

 or from ourselves, and all inquiries respecting any of our books will meet with 

 prompt attention by addressing
