One's right hand elements which compose it.

THE BOSTON RECORDER.

A First-Class Paper. — A Small Paper. — A Cheap Paper.

In order to answer the wide demand for a small religious journal at a low price, yet sustained by firstclass writers, the Recorder is now issued separately, made up from the columns of the Congregationalist with the design of making a paper adapted to The Mass of the People, and one that shall be within the means of all. No journal could thus be sustained at $1.50 with first-class articles, were it published alone; but by using the same matter that is secured for the Congregationalist, we are thus able to furnish the Recorder with articles of the highest order, including those from some of the best writers in the country. Here, then, is A LIVE PAPER for only $1.50.

W. L. GREENE & CO., 15 Cornhill, Boston.

The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal has been issued every week, in an unbroken series, since the beginning of February, 1828-the 77th volume of its first series closing January, 1868. The commence. ment of a new series, with such alterations and improvements as might be called for, and which were unsuitable in a consecutive series of volumes, having for several years been under consideration, was then decided upon and adopted. Seven volumes of that series have already appeared, and the eighth (the eighty-fifth in all) is now in progress. The JOURNAL now appears in a form of sixteen enlarged octavo pages weekly, in double columns, comprising about one-fifth more reading matter than before, and compares favorably, in amount and character of matter and in general appearance, with any other medica periodical in the country. It is nnder the editorial management of DR. FRANCIS H. BROWN; and the leading members of the profession in Boston and its vicinity, as well as those in more distant places, are contributors to i's pages.

Original Communications occupy the first pages in each number.

The Reports of Medical Societies fill a prominent place. The records of some of them, comprising reports of some of the most interesting medical and surgical practice of Boston, have for years been preserved in the pages of the JOURNAL, and will continue to find a place there.

Hospital Reports and Cases receive proper attention. The public Hospitals, Dispensaries, and Infirma ries of Boston are now so large and so constantly filled as to afford an ample resource for continuous and varied Reports of Practice. The editor will endeavor to utilize all these sources of medical experience and to publish frequent reports from them.

Abstracts and analyses of valuable and elaborate articles and reports, and brief selections from the English, French, and German Medical Journals, as well as from those of our own country, are inserted from time to time. It will be the editor's special endeavor to give every thing of value that is new or original n_professional literature, as soon as possible.

Brief critical notices and reviews of new books are given with freedom and impartiality.

Original communications, reports of societies, and other matters of professional interest from physi cians in all parts of the country are solicited.

The JOURNAL is issued every Thursday. There are two volumes a year, of over 400 pages each.
Price $4,00 a year, payable in advance. Orders by mail promptly attended to.

The seven Volumes of the New Series, completed in July, 1871, handsomely bonnd in double or single volumes, may be obtained at the Journal Office, at reduced price.

Volumes of the Old Series may also be obtained; and a few complete sets of the work from the begin ning have lately been made up, and are now offered for sale.
