THE MEDICAL EXAMINER.
PHILADELPHIA, JANUARY, 1853.
The press of original matter in the present number, (much of which has
been delayed from previous numbers,) has so circumscribed our space, that
we must forego our usual salutation to our readers, on the commence-
ment of a new volume. We must, however, express our acknowledgements
for the steadily increasing support with which our editorial labors have
been encouraged ; and we may also briefly add, that we shall relax no efforts
to maintain the position of the Examiner in every department—original,
bibliographical, clinical, and selected. If the usual limits of the last have
been somewhat curtailed of late, we trust that our readers have been repaid
for the temporary omission, in the value of our original matter and the
elaborate character of our bibliographical notices; and we beg to assure
them that the abridgement of the ‘Record’ is only temporary.
