    QUARTERLY SUMMARY, being a very full and complete abstract, methodically arranged, of the IMPROVEMENTS AND DISCOVERIES IN THE MEDICAL SCIENCES. This department 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, thus facilitating the researches of the reader in pursuit of particular subjects, and will be found to present a very full and accurate digest of all observations, discoveries, and inventions recorded in every branch of medical science. The very extensive arrangements of the publishers 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, but 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 and complete abstract of everything interesting or important to the physician occurring in any part of the civilized world. An evidence of the success which has attended these efforts may be found in the constant and steady increase in the subscription list, which renders, it advisable for gentlemen desiring the Journal, to make known their wishes at an early day, in order to secure a year’s set with certainty, the publishers having frequently been unable to supply-copies when ordered late in» the»year., To their old subscribers, many of whom have been on their list for twenty or thirty years, the publish- ers feel that no promises are necessary; but those who may desire for the first time to subseribe, ean rest assured that no exertion will be spared to maintain the Journal in the high position which it has oceupied fér so long a period. , er vA _ 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, becomes entitled, without further charge, to THE MEDICAL NEWS AND LIBRARY, a.monthly periodical of thirty-two large octavo pages. Its “News DreparTment’’ presents the current information of the day, while the.‘ Lisrary. DEPARTMENT’’ is devoted to presenting stand- ard works on various branches of medicine. Within a few years, subscribers have thus received, without expense, the following works which have passed through its columns :— WATSON’S LECTURES ON THE PRACTICE OF PHYSIC. BRODIE’S CLINICAL LECTURES ON SURGERY. TODD AND BOWMAN’S PHYSIOLOGICAL ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF MAN. 724 pages, with numerous wood-cuts, being all that has yet appeared in England. .
