    MEDICAL AND SURGICAL JOURNAL. Established 1828. — Published Weekly. The Publishers of the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal wish to call the attention of physicians to certain special features of this Journal, which make it exceptionally valuable as a medical peri- odical, and which commend it to the favor of professional gentlemen throughout the United States. 1. It is a weekly publication, thus possessing obvious advantages for the prompt presentation of medical intelligence, a great part of whose value lies in its freshness. 2. It contains nothing but original material. There are no borrowed articles, the current literature of the day being represented, in a man- ner peculiar to this journal, by a series of reports by experts in special departments of medical science, who give comprehensive and critical summaries of the most recent advances in their respective branches, and who constitute undoubtedly the strongest corps of the kind in the country. 3. Reports are received from a large number of medical societies, representing all departments of medicine. The facilities for obtaining clinical contributions from hospital practice have been greatly enlarged, embracing the most important hospitals of New England. 4. The correspondents' department has been organized with great care, and the chief medical centres of the world are here represented. A letter from one of these places appears in each issue of the Journal. 5. A weekly table, showing the comparative mortality rates for the week, of thirteen large cities in the United States. 6. Editorially the Journal aims to represent the profession of the whole country. It is one of the pioneers of medical science in the country, being, with one exception, the oldest now in existence. It was originated and has been maintained by no school or interest what- ever beyond that of the science and practice of medicine and the medical profession. The Editors and Publishers will spare no pains to keep the Journal in the high and honorable position which it has so long occupied among American medical periodicals.
