HARPER'S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE,

No. 1. Published June 1, 1850. PROSPECTUS.-The design of the Publishers in issuing this work, is to place within the reach of the great mass of the American people the unbounded treasures of the Periodical Literature of the present day. Periodicals enlist much of the literary talent and creative genius of the age. The best writers, in every nation, devote themselves mainly to the Reviews, Magazines, and Newspapers. Through the pages of these, the most power. ful historical essays, the most elaborate critical disquisitions, the most exquisite delineations of manners and of Nature, the highest Poetry and the most brilliant Wit, have, within the last ten years, found their way to the public heart.

The ablest and best productions of Lamartine, Dickens, Alison, Lever, Bulwer, Croly, and Macaulay, are found in Reviews, Newspapers, and Maga. zines. Their productions, however, intermingled with much that is of merely local and transient interest, are scattered through scores of Peridicals, so as to make it obviously impossible that, under present circumstances, any considerable number even of the reading pablic, and much more, that the great mass of the community, should have an opportunity of becoming familiar with them.

pages

The Publishers of the New Monthly Magazine intend to remedy this evil, and to place such of the Periodical Literature of the day, as has commanding interest, in the hands of all who have the slightest desire to become acquainted with it. Each number of their Magazine will contain 144 octavo, in double columns. The volumes of a single year, therefore, will present nearly two thousand pages of the choicest of the Miscellaneous Literature of the age. The Magazine will transfer to its pages, as rapidly as they may be issued, the continuous tales of Dickens, Bulwer, Croly, Lever, Warren, and other distinguished contributors to British periodicals: articles of commanding interest from all the leading quarterly reviews of both Great Britain and the United States; critical notices of the publications of the day; speeches and addresses of distinguished men upon topics of universal interest; notices of events in Science, Literature, and Art, in which the people at large have an interest, &c. &c. Special regard will be had to such articles as relate to the economy of social life, or tend to promote in any way the well-being of those who are engaged in any department of productive activity. A carefully prepared Fashion-plate, and other pictorial illustrations, will accompany each number.

This Magazine is not intended exclusively for any class of readers. The Publishers have at their command the exhaustless resources of current Periodical Literature in all its departments. They have the aid of editors in whom both they and the public confide. They have no doubt that, by an intelligent use of these appliances, they can present a mouthly compendium of the periodical productions of the day which no one could willingly be without; and they intend to publish it at so low a rate, that its cost shall not prevent its making its way into the hands and family circle of every intelligent citizen of the United States.

TERMS.-THREE DOLLARS a year, or TWENTY-FIVE CENTS a Number. The Work may be obtained of Booksellers and Periodical Agents, and of the Publishers.

Liberal arrangements will be made with the trade and with Agents for extra efforts in circulating the work, and Specimen numbers will be supplied gratuitously for Canvassers.

HARPER & BROTHERS, New-York, July 1, 1850.-It

The Publishers beg leave to state that RANKING'S ABSTRACT is published at so cheap a rate-containing, as it does, between seven and eight hundred large 8vo pages annually-that they cannot afford to mail it in any instance, unless the amount of subscription is previously paid. The EXAMINER is continued a second year to old subscribers, unless otherwise ordered.

The Medical Examiner and Record of Medical Science Is published promptly on the 1st of each month-each number containing 12, or nearly 900 pages annually, consisting of Original Contributions from Members of the Medical Profession from all parts of the country, with occasional illustratious; Reviews of New Works of Importance, American and Foreign; Biographical Notices of New Works on Medicine and the Collateral Sciences; together with a Complete Record of all that is new or important in Medicine, gleaned from the European and American Medical Journals, classified under the following heads-Anatomy and Physiology, Pathology and Practice of Medicine, Materia Medica and Therapeutics, Surgery, Chemistry, Obstetrics, &c. &c.; containing also during the year Reports of the Clinical Lectures delivered at the University of Philadelphia and in the Jefferson Medical College, and regular Mouthly Reports of Surgical Cases treated at the Pennsylvania Hospital.

The Examiner will, in consequence of the appointment of Dr. Tucker to a Professorship in Hampden Sidney College, Richmond, Va., hereafter be under the Editorial Management of FRANCIS GURNEY SMITH, M. D., Lecturer ou Pyhsiology in the Philadelphia Association for Medical Instruction, Fellow of the College of Physicians, &c. &c.

The long period during which the Examiner has now been published the favorable manner in which it is received by the Profession in all parts of the country, together with its constantly increasing patronage, ranks it both as one of the oldest and as one of the first Medical Periodicals of the country. It is constantly quoted and referred to, not only by all the American, but also by the most prominent European Medical Journals. To preserve its present value, and to make it still more acceptable to the Profession, no effort or labor will be spared on the part either of the Editor or Publishers.

They also publish the following series of

MANUALS FOR MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS AND STUDENTS. "In the preparation of these Manuals, the publishers have enlisted the talents of gentlemen competent to render them a correct and valuable summary of the existing state of the several departments of medical science.”— American Medical Journal.

They present within a moderate compass the substance of many ponderous tomes and monographs, condensed, systematized, and arranged in a very able and satisfactory manner."-New-York Medical and Surgical Journal. "We regard this enterprise as constituting an era in the history of Medical Literature in this country.-Buffalo Medical Journal.

"The authors are all Americans too-no small reason why this series should be patronised, as it is time we were becoming more national in our Medical Literature."-N. Y. Med. and Surg. Jour.

CIRCULAR.

It has long been the custom for Apothecaries themselves to powder Drugs required for Prescriptions, owing to a want of confidence in the Powders found in the market, which, on examination, have proved to be, in many cases, prepared from inferior drugs, and sometimes so much adulterated as to be either comparatively inert, or productive of dangerous consequences in their use. Even the best powdered Drugs are usually prepared from articles as they are found in commerce, without selection.

Powders which may be RELIED upon as being STRICTLY PURE, and of the BEST QUALITY, would undoubtedly be sought for with avidity by our Apothecaries and Physicians, for the reason that the former might obtain what they require in a better form than they themselves could prepare them, and save the manual labor requisite in their preparation; and the latter could prescribe with confidence, an article which they were certain was what it purported to be.

To meet this desideratum, which has so long been felt in this country, we have devoted much time and application, and spared no expense, to be able to furnish every article of the Materia Medica, used in the form of Powder, in which the public may have implicit confidence, under the designation of "Select Powders."

It is well known, that many of the best drugs, both foreign and indigenous, are more or less mixed with extraneous substances and inferior qualities, which, if not removed, must, of course, injure the article when powdered. To obviate this, we subject every drug to the most rigid scrutiny; rejecting all that does not accord with the Official Standard. They are then reduced, to the utmost degree of fineness, compatible with their physical properties. Great care is also observed in the process of preparing them for powdering, for the purpose of guarding against any injury which might result (which is often the case) to the chemical constituents and medical properties of the drug, by incautious drying, &c. This important department is under the charge of a person of great experience, who has devoted many years to this branch of business, so that the Powders coming from his hands are not only beautiful in appearance, but may be relied upon as not having received injury in the process of powdering.

In addition to the quality and fineness of our Powders, we would call attention to the style in which they are put up; the convenient form of 1lb. flint glass bottles, which secures them from the action of the atmosphere and moisture-a prolific cause of the detoriation o powdered drugs, Each bottle is stamped with the seal of the firm, and labeled in accordance with the U. S.

Pharmacopoeia. As there are eertain rays of light which have the effect of gradually decomposing the substances which come under their influence, it is necessary, therefore, that the Powders should be kept in the box in which each bottle will be found enclosed.

We hope our exertions in this matter will be met with corresponding encouragement by the trade generally, and that our earnest endeavours to relieve the Profession from the stigma which has, in this respect, so long been attached to it, shall not have been in vain.

The numerous IMITATIONS of the style of our "Select Powders" induce us to adopt a new Color. We shall therefore put them up only in BRONZE-COLORED BOXES.

Some years since we became deeply impressed with the necessity of reform, in one department particularly, of the DRUG business in this country. While the achievements of scientific research in the development of new compounds, more skillful processes, aud improved apparatus, had extended to almost overy chemical preparation, POWDERED MEDICINES remained unimproved.

Believing that to raise the character of Powdered Medicines, at least to an officinal standard, would, while meeting the wants' of some, and appealing to the innate appreciation of others, create a demand for such "Select Powders hitherto unknown, we immediately commenced to effect this improvement; first, to render them officinal, they were subjected to a rigid and intelligent selection; second, to increase their medicinal activity, they were reduced by a new process called Dusting to an impalpable powder; third, they were put in Bottles and Boxes to protect them from the decomposing influences of humid air and light.

We are happy to announce that our efforts were appreciated by the Medical Profession, and liberally responded to by the Trade. Owing to the popularity of these our "Select Powders," numerous Powders from other sources have recently made their appearance, put up in similar style. This fact constrains us to say, that ours was the first attempt of the kind in this country. And while we are gratified that our exertions in this department have induced others to improve the quality of their Powders, still, as numerous Houses have seen fit so exactly to imitate the style of our "Select Powders," even to the colour of the boxes, we must caution those whe purchase to examine particularly the fineness and beauty, and resl quality of the article, as they will thus be enabled to judge whether their successful imitation does not consist more in the style of putting up than in the articles themselves. In 1848, the Franklin Institute of Pennsylvania. awarded us the medal for "Select Powders."

GENUINE MEDICINAL COD-LIVER OIL. The introduction and rapid adoption in England, a few years since, of COD-LIVER OIL, manufactured in a proper manner from the fresh Cod Livers, having awake..ed the attention of our medical men to the subject, and created a demand for the article, (which at that time could not be obtained, as none of the pure oil had been prepared in this country) we were induced to prepare some of it for our customers who wished to try it, and were the first to introduce the genuine article to the Medical Profession of New-York and its vicinity; and although at that time there were many objections to its use, owing to the dark nauseous oil having been used with unpleasant effects in some cases, and total failure in others, it was faithfully tried in several cases with success so remarkable as almost to dely belief, thus giving rise to new trials, and establishing beyond doubt or cavil its great value as a therapeutic agent. Since we first introduced it, it has been extensively used by the Medical Profession, both in the city and country, and with decided success, in cases of Consumption, Chronic Rheumatism, &c., but like all medicine much in demand, it is unfortunately adulterated and imitated to a great extent, and much disappointment will invariably result when patients are so unfortunate as to have the spurious article palmed off to them for the genuine. We ourselves lately examined specimens of Oil, sent by different manufacturers to the New-York Druggists, as specimens of the PURE CODLIVER OIL, and upon testing them in the usual manner, found that so far from being pure, they did not contain one-fourth of Pure Cod-liver Oil: and a great deal of Oil has been made from the livers of other fish, and represented as pure Cod Liver Oil.

It is exceedingly to be regretted that so valuable a Mediciue should be so extensively adulterated, and we have spared neither pains nor expense to insure our patrons a Pure Article, made under our own supervision with the greatest care and cleanliness, expressly for Medicinal Use; and the Oil of our make, from its superior quality, has received the preference wherever it

has been introduced

We are aware that many persons are advertising that they receive their supplics from the agents at the fisheries, &c.; but having examined some samples said to be so received, and found them very inferior, in order to furnish our customers with Oil that we can warrant in every particular, (and the fishing on our own coast being over for this season,) cne of on r firin has go to Newfoundland expressly to superintend the manufacture of Oil for our own sales.

NOTICE!-In future Our Oil will have our Signature over the Cork of each Bottle or Can, without which none is Genume.

Brown's Cantharidine Blistering Tissue.

THIS elegant Vesicating Tissue, which owes its blistering properties solely to Cantharidine, has been in extensive use for several years, both in private practice and in Hospitals, and has been favorably noticed in several Medical Journals.

Its superiority may be stated as follows:

1. It is equally vesicant with the common Emplastrum Lyttæ.
2. It is cheaper, i. e., will blister more surface at less cost.

3. It is more cleanly and readily applied.

4. It never produces stranguary or troublesome after sores. In Tin Cases, containing Six and Twelve Square Feet each.

Also, Brown's Tissue Dressing,

For Blisters, Burns, and Superficial Sores. An economical and cleanly substitute for all ointments. It does not become rancid by keeping.

In Tin Cases, containing Twelve Square Feet each.

Also, Brown's Water-Proof Transparent Plaster ;
An entirely new dressing for Wounds and Surgical Operations.
Its advantages are as follows:

1. Being similar in composition to Cuticle, it is non-irritant and protective.

2. It is not decomposed by the secretions of a wound, as lead plasters are. 3. It is more readily applied in all seasons.

4. It admits of cold lotions being applied to any extent.

5. It is more readily removed.

6. It resists climate better.

7. It is more flexible.

"ANDREW SMITH, M. D.

"Deputy Inspector General of Hospitals." From the N. Y. Journal of Medicine, (page 280,) March 1st, 1850: "CANTHARIDINE PLASTER, OR BLISTERING TISSUE.-Some months since, we received from Mr. GEORGE D. PHELPS, of this city, samples of this truly valuable article, for the express purpose of using it in our practice. From the trial we have given it, we are satisfied that it presents no ordinary claims to the attention of the profession. It presents peculiar claims to our notice in the inflammatory diseases of females and children, in whom the unpleasant consequences which so often follow the application of the Emp. Cantharides are most apt to occur, We have found it a reliable, and in this class of subjects, a peculiarly safe vessicaut, and one which deserves the attention of the profession. Accompanying this article is a very simple and neat Dressing Tissue, which is intended as a substitute for the ordinary dressing of blisters."

Extract from the Philadelphia Medical Examiner. "The Cantharidine Blistering Plaster and dressing, with which our readers are doubtless familiar as a new and exceedingly neat preparation, easy of application and certain in its effects. We have given it a trial, and find it fully to answer our expectations."

Hair Gloves and Straps,
LAWRENCE'S (LATE DINNEFORD'S)

Patent Improved Horse-Hair Fresh Gloves and Straps, Embracing a general assortment of Ladies' and Gentlemen's sizes. Also, Bath Straps aud Demidoff Brushes, Large and Small. The free and liberal use of these articles is now justly regarded as one of the most effectual means of promoting health and long life. They have been extensively recommended by the profession, and other scientific gentlemen. Great improvements have recently been made in their construction, of which there are now thirteen different styles and sizes. The following extract is from an editorial notice in the N. Y. Evening Post of May 3d.

"A few weeks since we called attention to the subject of friction as a means of promoting health, and more especially to the use of Lawrence & Company's Patent Horse-Hair Renovators, as one of the best means of accomplishing that desirable object. Since that time, by a liberal use of those articles ourselves,, and also on the part of several of our friends, we have become still more thoroughly convinced of the great benefits to be derived from their use. To invalids and persons of sedentary habits, they seem to us almost invaluable, and to persons in the best of health they are a positive luxury. From the circulars accompanying them, we observe that they have been long patronized and most strongly recommended by some of the most distinguished persons in England. They are also most favorably noticed in this month's number of the New-York Journal of Medicine, as well as several other of the medical and literary journals of the day. Messrs. Law. rence & Company have displayed tact and ingenuity in their construction, not only in the great variety of styles, for both wet and dry friction, but more especially in so adapting the hairs, that they cannot tear or scratch the skin of the most delicate, an objection often urged against the use of other manufactures of hair gloves and straps."

Flesh Brushes, and Hair Gloves, &c.-A very neat and superior fabric and quality of the above articles, manufactured by Lawrence & Company, London, has been sent us for examination and trial by Mr. George D. Phelps, importing druggist, 46 Cliff-street. Of the great hygienic and therapeutic value of these articles we have abundant evidence, and our only wonder is that they are not more extensively used among us. On our own persons for hydrops articali of the knee, we have recently experienced very beneficial effects following their use; and in cases of chronic rheumatism, for several years past, we have been in the habit of directing with a good degree of service their use Of their beneficial effects in promoting health, no doubt can exist. Dr. Bell in his recent work on Baths, &c., thus speaks of their use in this respect-"In addition to the exercises, such as we generally understand them, there is a modification which acts directly upon the skin, and through this organ of course on the entire economy. It consists in friction by rubbing with the hand or with a towel, or still rougher material, as a

horse-hair brush or bag. **** The original and quaint Dr. George Cheyne said: 'I think it well worth the pains of persons of weak and seden tary lives, especially those threatened with paralytic disorders, to supply the want of exercise of other kinds with spending half an hour morning and night in currying and rubbing the whole body, more especially their limbs with a flesh-brush.'"

From the Philadelphia Medical Examiner of May.

"We are under obligations to the same house for specimens of Lawrence's Hair-Gloves, Brushes, &c., for external friction. A lunited trial of them has satisfied us of their admirable fitness for the uses for which they are intended."

MEDICAL DEPARTMENT-SESSION 1850-51.

The Lectures will commence on Monday the 21st day of October, and will be continued, under the following arrangement, until the last day of February:

VALENTINE MOTT, M. D. Professor of the Principles, Practice and Operations of Surgery.

GRANVILLE SHARPE PATTISON, M. D., Professor of General, Descriptive and Surgical Anatomy.

MARTYN PAINE, M. D., Professor of Materia Medica and Therapeutics. GUNNING S. BEDFORD, M. D., Professor of Midwifery and the Diseases of Women and Children.

Appointments by the Professors of Surgery and Anatomy. Prosector to the Professor of Surgery, VALENTINE MOTT, Jun., M. D. Demonstrator of Anatomy, WILLIAM DARLING, M. D.

The faculty, it will be seen, have added the department of Physiology to the chair of Chemistry; and Professor Draper will in future, in addition to his regular course of Chemistry, give two evening lectures on Physiology. The advantage of this arrangement must be obvious to every one. The Professor of Anatomy will also deliver an additional lecture in his department, at an evening hour. In order to afford ample opportunities to their pupils for studying disease practically, the faculty have determined to open three weekly Cliniques.

1st. The Surgical and Medical Clinique, which has existed from the commencement of the Institution, and been held by Prof. Mott on Saturdays, will be continued under his care as usual.

2d. An Obstetric Clinique to be held every Monday, under the direction of Professor Bedford. The most interesting diseases of women and children will be brought before the class, and fully lectured upon by the professor. The class will also have an abundant supply of midwifery cases to be attended at the houses of the patients.

3d. A Surgical and Medical Clinique will be held every Wednesday, under the direction of Professor Pattison and Detmold.

In addition to these means of studying disease, the NewYork Hospital, the Bellevue Hospital, the Eye and Ear Infirmary-the various Dispensaries and Infirmaries, are all accessible to the students.

Clinical instruction is given every day at the New-York Hospital.

The Dissecting Room will be open on the 1st day of October, and an ample supply of the Materiel will be provided. Fees for the full Course of Lectures, $105, Matriculation fee, $5. Practical Anatomy, $5. Graduation fee, $30. The commencement will take place early in March. JOHN W. DRAPER, M.D. 380 Fourth-street, New-York. Secretary of the Faculty,

CHANDLER R. GILMAN, M. D., Professor of Obstetrics and the Diseases of Women and Children. ALONZO CLARK, M. D, Microscopy.)

Professor of Physiology and Pathology, (including

CHARLES E. ISAACS, M. D., Demonstrator of Anatomy. FEES.-Matriculation Fee $5, fees for the full course of Lectures $94, Demonstrator's ticket $5, Graduation fee $25, board (average) $3 per week.

The prerequisites for graduation are-21 years of age, three years of study, including two full courses of Lectures, the last of which must have been attended in this College, and the Presentation of a Thesis on some subject connected with Medical Science.

In addition to the regular Course, and not interfering with it, a Course of Lectures will be commenced on Monday, 30th September, and continued until the 14th October. This Course will be free.

It is known to the friends of Medical Education, that this Institution was among the first to take a stand in favor of augmenting the number of Profes sors, prolonging the term of Lectures and increasing the facilities for Clini. cal Teaching, when these great measures of Reform were demanded by the nearly unanimous vote of the American Medical Association. From this position it has never receded. While others have talked of Reform, the College of Physicians and Surgeons has acted. A Seventh Professorshipthat of Physiology and Pathology-has been established, and a gentleman called to fill it who confessedly stands pre-eminent in that department of Medical Science. By him Microscopic Anatomy has been taught with a fulness of illustration nowhere equalled in this country, while Pathology has been the subject of almost daily demonstation. As to Clinical Teaching, the importance of which is now everywhere acknowledged, the Clinique of the College, as it is one of the oldest, is believed to be by far the largest in the country. Here the Students have opportunities of seeing week by week a large and important class of medical and surgical diseases, but this Clinique is not expected nor intended to be a substitute for Hospital Teaching. In both the large Hospitals of New-York, the Students of the College receive instructions from their own teachers-Professor Smith being Senior Physician to the New-York Hospital, Professor Parker one of the Surgeons, and Professor Clark one of the Physicians to Bellevue. In both these institutions Clinical Instruction is regularly given, and they, together with the College Clinique, present to the Student an amount and variety of disease only to be found in a large metropolis.

THE NEW-YORK MEDICAL COLLEGE.

Chartered by the Legislature of this State during the last winter, is expected to go into full operation on the first Monday in November next.

The preparation of the College edifice is in the hands of the architect, and the work will proceed with all possible dispatch.

The following appointments have been already made;

HORACE GREEN, M. D., Professor of the Theory and Practice of Medicine.
A. L. Cox, M.D., Professor of Surgery.

R. OGDEN DOREMUS, Professor of Chemistry.

The other Professors have not yet been chosen, and applications from the profession for the chairs of Materia Medica and Pharmacy, of Midwifery, and of Anatomy, are respectfully invited. Such applications will be regarded as confidential, and may be directed to JOHN S. C. ABBOT, No. 43 Lafayette Place, New York.

Every facility for the acquisition of a correct and thorough medical education will be provided in this Institution, and no pains will be spared to place it, in every respect, on the highest level among the Schools of Medicine in the country.

But the very short period which has been allowed its founders to effect the necessary arrangements, obliges them, at present, to content themselves with this imperfect announcement.
