    11. Begin each volume with a new set of paginations. Continu¬ ous pagination from one volume to another, or separate pagi¬ nation for each single number, is objectionable. When each number is paged separately there is difficulty in finding a given page, for each number of the twelve has the same set of pagination. In such cases the journal has to be indexed by number as well as by page. 12. Every medical journal should issue an index with the last number of each volume. If no index is to be published, or if it is to be issued later, it should be so stated in the last number of the volume. Journals sometimes have to keep on the unbound shelves one or more years, waiting for an index which may never come ; and not infrequently an index comes after the volume is bound. Of course, if medical journals are published merely to be read and then thrown in the waste basket, all these sug¬ gestions go for nothing. But such is not the case. They are bound and preserved, and by many libraries and physi¬ cians are indexed; hence the need of some uniform system governing their publication.
