MEDICAL REGISTER OF NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY 
AND CONNECTICUT. 
By W. T. White, M.D. 
The present volume, the twenty-second of the publication, 
lias been recently delivered to its ordinary subscribers, well print¬

ing ? Has any one heard that it was going to stop work and go 
into articulo mortis f On the contrary, were there not abundant 
rumors in circulation of successful progress hitherto, and large 
promise for the future—that it had outgrown its habitation, and 
it had become necessary to provide, and had taken steps to secure, 
larger accommodations for the students ? And yet, no mention 
of that institution is found in the Medical Register , notwith-
