BLANCHARD & LEA'S MEDICAL 



wherever necessary. It has now been issued regularly for more than forty years, and it haf been 

 under the control of the present editor for more than a quarter ot a century. Throughout this 

 long period, it has maintained its position in the highest rank of medical periodicals both at home 

 and abroad, and has received the cordial support of the entire profession in this country. Its list of 

 Collaborators will be found to contain a large number of the most distinguished names of the pro- 

 fession in every section of the United States, rendering the department devoted to 



ORIGINAL COMMUNICATIONS 



full of varied and important matter, of great interest to all practitioners. 



As the aim of the Journal, however, is to combine the advantages presented by all the different 

 varieties of periodicals, in its 



REVIEW DEPARTMENT 



will be found exteiidetl and impartial reviews of all important new works, presenting subjects of 

 novelty and interest, together with very numerous 



BIBLIOG-RAFHICAL NOTICES, 



including nearly all the medical publications of the day, both in this country and Great BritaiE, with 

 a choice selection of the more important continental works. This is followed by the 



QUAETERLY SUMMAEY, 



l>eing a very full and complete abstract, methodically arranged, of the 



IMPROVEIHENTS AND DISCOVERIES IN THE MEDICAL SCIENCES. 



This departmeni of the Journal, so important to the practising physician, is the object of especial 

 care on the part of the editor. It is classified and arranged under different heads, tliHS facilitating 

 the researones ol' the reader in pursuit of particular subjects, and will be found to present a very 

 full and accurate digest oJ' all observations, discoveries, and inventions recorded in every branch of 

 medical science. The very extensive arrangements of the publisher? are such as to afford to the 

 editor complete materials for this purpose, as he not only regularly receives 



ALL THE AMERICAN MEDICAL AND SCIENTIFIC PERIODICALS,. 



tttii also twenty or thirty of the more important Journals issued in Great Britain and on the Conti- 

 nent, thus enabling him to present in a convenient compass a thorough aiid complete abstract of 

 everything interesting or important to the physician occurring in any part of the civilized world. 



To their old subscribers, many of whom have been on their list for twenty or thirty years, the 

 publishers feel that no promises for the future are necessary; but those who may desire for the 

 first time to subscribe, can rest assured that no exertion will be spared to maintain the Journal in 

 the high position which it has occupied for so long a period. 



By reference to the terms it will be seen that, in addition to this large amount of valuable and 

 practical information on every branch of medical science, the subscriber, by paying in advance, 

 oecomes entitled, without further charge, to 



THE MEDICAL NEWS AND LIBRARY, 



a monthly periodical of thirty-two large octavo pages. Its "News Department" presents the 

 current information of the day, while the "Libeary Department" is devoted to presenting stand- 

 ard works on various branches of medicine. Within a few years, subscribers have thus received, 

 without expense, many works of the highest character and practical value, such as " Watson's 

 Practice," "Todd and Bowman's Physiology," " JWalgaigne's Surgery," "West on Children," 

 " West on Females, Part I.," "Habershon on the Alimentary Canal," &c. 

 While the work at present appearing in its columns is 



CLINICAL LECTURES ON THE DISEASES OF WOMEN. 



By PROFEasoK J. Y. SIMPSON, of Edinburgh. 



WITH NUMEROUS HANDSOME ILLUSTRATIONS. 



These Lectures, published in England under the supervision of the Author, carry with them all 

 the weight of his wide experience and distinguished reputation. Their eminently practical nature, 

 and the importance of the subject treated, cannot fail to render them in the highest degree satis- 

 (actory to subscribers, who can thus secure them without cost. These Lectures are contmued 

 in the "News" ibr 1862. 



It will thus be seen that for the small sum ol FIVE DOLLARS, paid in advance, the subscribe? 

 will obtain a Quarterly and a Monthly periodical, 



EMBRACING NEARLY SIXTEEN HUNDRED LARGE OCTAVO PAGES, 



Those subscribers who do not pay in advance will bear in mind that their subscription o( Five 

 Dollars will entitle them to the Journal only, without the News, and that they will be at the expense 

 of their own postage on the receipt of each number. The advantage of a remittance when order- 

 ing the Journal wiD thus be apparent. 



Hemittances of subscriptions can be mailed at our risk, when a certificate is taken from the Post- 

 mnsier that the money is duly inclosed and forwarded.
