the
CYCLOPEDIA
of
PRACTICAL MEDICINE
and
SURGERY,
a
DIGEST OF MEDICAL LITERATURE.

EDITED BY
ISAAC HAYS, M. D.

The work will be published in parts averaging 112 pages
each, and embellished with numerous wood cuts. It is expected
that the work will be completed in forty parts, making eight
large volumes. A part will be published every month, if practicable.

Price to Subscribers, 50 cents each part.

Gentlemen who are desirous to have the work forwarded to
them, will please transmit their orders to the publishers, or to
any of the Agents for the American Journal of the Medical
Sciences, accompanied by a remittance of five dollars, which
will pay for the first ten numbers.

In order that the postage on this work may not interfere
with the most extensive circulation, it is printed on a very large
sized paper, so that no one part will contain more than five
sheets of paper, thus making the postage within 100 miles, 7½
cents; or over that distance, 12½ cents.

by Southwood Smith. Dr. Johnson, the editor of the Medico-Chirurgical Review,

our conscience, we believe it the best that ever flowed from the pen of physician
in any age or in any country.”'

merits a place in every library, and that no military surgeon ought to be
