Introductory.

The fifth volume of the "American Homœopathic Observer” is commenced under the most favorable auspices. The support which the profession has extended so liberally will enable us to add one hundred pages for the year without increasing the price. We have determined to devote the profits of the publication to its improvement, and if our friends work to increase its subscription during the year 1868 as they have done heretofore, we shall be able to add to its interest and value in many particulars. Nearly all our readers are physicians in active practice, and we shall always have in view their needs, and give the preference to articles which are practical in their character.

The Department of MATERIA MEDICA, under the editorship of Prof. EDWIN M. HALE, will be diligently kept up, Without neglect of the old remedies, he will doubtless point out the proper sphere of the new. The present number contains an admirable pathogenesis of Myrica cerifera from his pen.

We have given charge of the Department of SURGERY to BUSHROD W. JAMES, M. D., of Philadelphia. Dr. J. is young, talented and ambitious, and we know that he can make this part of the Journal much more valuable than it has been heretofore.

New contributors will be welcomed, and we hope that all our old ones will continue to send us their favors. We wish to make up the present volume with original matter of value to the profession, and to accomplish this, rely very much upon our correspondents. If MSS. are wrapped up with open ends, only pamphlet postage need be prepaid, (two cents on each four oz.)
