subscribers reap the fruit of its success, for all its returns have been expended on the endeavour to make it more perfect. This, we feel, entitles us once more to appeal for increased support. To develope all our designs, and to make THE DOCTOR all we desire to see it, we require a large number of new Subscribers; and the announcement of the New Volume with the New Year affords a good opportunity for our supporters to bring THE DOCTOR under the notice of their friends, and we venture to hope they will do so.

TO OUR READERS.

In looking back on the three years during which THE DOCTOR has carried on its work, it is gratifying to know that the efforts of its conductors are becoming more and more appreciated. A continually increasing Subscription List is the best possible proof of the need of such a publication.

supplement. Those who cannot subscribe to any
weekly will find our Monthly Review keep them
au courant with the progress of Medical Science
and Literature,"
