The Reporter was established in 1848, and now has attained as large, if not the largest, circulation of any medical weekly in this country. It has achieved this through its independence of all cliques, its steady devotion to the highest interests of the regular profession, its energy in obtaining the most important scientific news, the value of its original articles, its broad national character, and its attention to the practical and clinical aspects of professional study. The CONTENTS of the Reporter are arranged as follows : 1. Original Lectures, reported expressly for it from the leading clinical centres ol the Union. 2. Original Communications, embracing articles on special subjects by experts, and by no means excluding the less authoritative but often highly valuable contributions of private practitioners and country physicians. In fact, the Reporter has always aimed to bring into the service of science the stores of practical medical knowledge accumulated by medical observers in the rural districts. 3. Hospital Reports, being selected clinical cases from the hospitals at Philadel- phia, New York, Boston, Chicago, Louisville, Cincinnati and other cities ; as, also, reviews of the hospital treatment of usual diseases in the great hospitals in all parts of the country. All these reports are original, and to be found solely in the Reporter. 4. Medical Societies.—The proceedings of all the National Societies, the Ameri- can Medical, Social Science, Gynaecological, Ophthalmological, etc., and of most ot the State and many county societies, in so far as they have a direct interest for the practising physician, are carefully presented, usually by reporters representing this journal only. Thus the whole profession, in its organizations, is regularly recorded. 5. Periscope.—Under this heading are grouped translations from the German, French and other languages, and abstracts and selections from English and Ameri- can journals. The exchange list of the Reporter includes all the prominent medi- cal journals of the world, and the selections from this immense mass of material are made by competent gentlemen, with the view of giving the greatest variety and freshest information, particularly in the departments of Diagnosis and Treatment. 6. Notes on Current Medical Literature are brief references to the mass of pamphlets, reprints, monographs, announcements and new journals, which constantly pour into an editor's office. 7. Reviews and Book Notices.—All new books received from medical publishers of this and other countries are promptly noticed by judicious and impartial critics. The notices are rarely lengthy, but they are aimed to express a correct opinion of the merits of-tht b*ck, without fear or favor.
