A HALF-YEARLY JOURNAL OF 



PEAOTIOAL MEDICINE AND SURGEKY; 



CONTAINING A 



Retrospective View of every Discovery and Practical Improvement in the 



Medical Sciences, digested from the Leading Medical 



Journals of Europe and America. 



This invaluable compendium, which was commenced in 1840, is issued 

 simultaneously with the London edition, by virtue of an arrangement entered 

 into with its distinguished editor, and appears regularly in January and July 

 of each year. 



The peculiar excellence of the " Retrospect " consists in the fact that it 

 embodies in a confined space, after careful perusal, all the cream of all the 

 Medical periodicals, — preserving all the essentially practical articles of dis- 

 covery and improvement. The great advantage offered lo practitioners by 

 this method, is the saving them time, labor, and money. It constitutes a 

 condensed register of medical facts and observations lor the past year, and 

 presents a complete retrospect of all that is valuable and worth possessing, 

 gleaned from the current medical literature of the time, including the trans- 

 actions of the different Societies and Associations in Europe and America, 

 preserved in as condensed a form as possible, and generally in the words of 

 the respective authors. 



This admirable digest enjoys, throughout the world, a higher fame in its 

 department, and has a more extensive patronage than any other Medical 

 Journal extant. The terms of publication are more liberal, it is believed, 

 than those of any other periodical. It will be seen below, that the subscrip- 

 tion price will be hereafter $2.50 to regular annual subscribers, who inva- 

 riably pay in advance of publication ; all Parts after publication, one or more, 

 $1.50 each.
