Philadelphia, June 14, 1853.
To the Medical Profession.
In conformity with a resolution of the American Medical Association
it becomes my duty to inform you of the decision of the Committee of
Publication, in regard to the price at which the forthcoming volume of
Transactions will be furnished to the Association and others.
The price of single copies has been fixed by the Association at five
dollars.
Any individual desiring two copies, will be furnished with them upon
his remitting to the Treasurer nine dollars.
Societies, associations and institutions requiring six copies for the use
of their members, will be supplied with them on remitting to the Trea-
surer twenty-five dollars, or they will be supplied with twenty-five copies
on remitting seventy-five dollars.
Those who wish volumes 5 and 6, may obtain them by remitting
eight dollars.
In consequence of the numerous illustrations, many of them highly
finished colored lithographs, with which the forthcoming volume will be
accompanied, its cost will considerably exceed that of either of those
previously issued by the Association. To defray the cost of its publi-
cation, at least fifteen hundred dollars, in addition to the amount al-
ready received by the Treasurer, will be required.
Your attention is called to the following resolution, adopted at the
last session of the Association :
lt Resolved, That the Delegates from the several States be requested
to appoint committees, who shall aid the Committee of Publication in
procuring subscribers for and in distributing the annual Transactions of
the Association.”	D. Francis Condie, Treasurer,
