rpHE Medico-ChirurgiCal Review had, for many years, a reputa- 
tion unequalled by any other journal, as the leading Medical 
Journal of Europe, and a standard work in medical literature- 
Being republished in this country for more than twenty-five years, 
it was universally known to the Medical profession here, and was 
pronounced by some of the most eminent “ the best medical jour¬ 
nal extant,” The British and Foreign Medical Review, though 
not so long established, was nearly as well known; and was con¬ 
ducted with such spirit and talent, as fully to entitle it to rank with 
its illustrious predecessor. These two works are now united, (un¬ 
der the above title,) and will be sustained by the united contribu¬ 
tions of the writers, whose talents have given such eminence to 
each. Of the merits of the, work produced by this combination, 
nothing need be said. The American republishers hope, however, 
to increase its value by their

TMIE vastness of its medical resources rendering New York as 
•** much the medical as it is the commercial metropolis of the 
Union, the importance of this journal as a record of the progress of 
the medical sciences in this city, and an prgan of communication 
between the members of the Medical Profession here and those 
abroad, must be apparent to all. 
Of the many testimonials received in its favor, we have room 
only for the following:—

Journal of the Medical Sciences. 
“ A spirited and able journal.”— Buffalo Medical Journal.

WOOD’S 
QUARTERLY RETROSPECT OF 
American & Foreign. Practical Mcdt» 
cine and Surgery. 
Price One Dollar Per Annum, in Advance. 
This work is designed to meet the demands of this 41 high-pres- 
sure age,” by furnishing the physician and surgeon the means of 
keeping pace with the progress of knowledge in their respective 
departments of science, at the least possible cost of time and mo¬ 
ney. It consists of condensed reports of cases, and their treatment, 
with occasional remarks, and abstracts of the medical literature of 
the day, collected from the whole field of medical science, Ameri¬ 
can and Foreign, with announcements of all new publications of 
the profession. * 
Its plan is, in the main, that which has been so much approved 
in “ Braithwaite’s Retrospect, ’’and “Ranking’s Abstract,” with the 
superadded advantages of a fuller view of American Medical Lite¬ 
rature and Science, a more frequent emission and reduction of 
price ; and it is hoped it will meet the general approbation of the 
Medical Profession. It was suggested^By some members of the 
profession as a desideratum in medical literature r.ot yet supplied 
by any journal; and the publishers intend, if well sustained m the 
undertaking, to spare neither pains nor expense to make it worthy 
of the most extended patronage. 
It will be seen at once, that at a price so low, it can only be sup¬ 
ported by a very extensive circulation ; but the advantages offered 
are such, that this is confidently anticipated ; and they request all 
to whom this is sent, who approve the plan, to aid them by bring¬ 
ing it to the notice of their professional brethren. * 
Authors and Publishers wishing their works reported, will please 
forward copies. 
RECOMMENDATION. 
A work like 44 Wood’s Quarterly Retrospect,” presenting a view 
of American and Foreign Practical Medicine, and Surgery, so ex¬ 
tended as to omit nothingof material interest, yet so condensed as 
to meet the demands of those whose want of time or means pre¬ 
vents their access to the various sources from which it is compiled, 
was much needed ;and we cordially commend it to the patronage 
of every member of the Medical profession.

Since its first appearance, the Retrospect has met with gene¬ 
ral approbation ; and many testimonials in its favor might be pro¬ 
duced ; but the publishers deem it unnecessary to give more than 
the foregoing, from the Professors of the two Medical Schools of 
New-York; hoping that as the price is so low, those who wish to 
know more of it will give it a trial for one year, and ascertain its 
character from the work itself.
