    The Oft-Repeated Assertion That The Prac...

    The oft-repeated assertion that the practice

    of medicine has made no advance since the time of Hippocrates will receive a powerful

    contradiction , if not a deathblow , by the appearance of the 'international Journal or

    the Medical Sciences , ' which Messrs . Cassell announce will be issued from their press on

    the 1 st of January , 1886 . The work , which was formerly known as the 'American

    Journal of the Medical Sciences , ' will , under the new title , be published simultaneously in

    London and Philadelphia * The editors—Messrs . J . M . Morris , Philadelphia , and

    Malcolm Morris , London—claim that * no journal in any department of science has hitherto

    been honoured with so large a list of eminent collaborateurs , .... and the friendly rivalry

    of two hemispheres will render it the most efficient factor in medical progress that the

    world has yet seen . ' This claim may appear bold , but even a

    glance over the list of names of promised contributors will show that it is far from

    being groundless . At present the list shows only British and American names , but the

    editorial promise includes others from continental centres . Certainly no

    international work of this description could be considered complete without contributions from

    the profession at "Vienna and Paris . Where all the names of the writers are of such

    distinguished excellence it is somewhat difficult , and p erhaps JL invidious , to make mention

    of any ; but , more for the purpose of indicating the high character of the work than as singling —
