THE NEW ENGLAND BOTANIC MEDICAL AND SURGICAL JOURNAL. "Seize upon Truth, wherever found, CALVIN NEWTON, M. D., EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. VOLUME I. WORCESTER: PUBLISHED BY CALVIN NEWTON, M. D. No. 1, Corner of Front and Carlton Streets. 1847. medical Fm Thomas 1-1-43 47103 vil PREFACE. THE present volume is nominally the first of the Journal, but really the second volume of our Paper,-it being published, during the year 1846, under the name of the Eclectic. The manner and spirit in which it has been conducted, have received many favorable notices. Its patronage has been steadily increasing; and its present circulation, not only in New England but in the South and the West, is somewhat extensive. As, however, the cost of each volume is not inconsiderable, the work needs a still more extensive patronage. At the middle of the present year, it will be seen, it has been enlarged, by putting all the advertisements on the cover, and occupying the sixteen pages with matter which is worthy of permanent preservation. We trust our friends will, hereafter, not be content with mere verbal expressions of approbation, but that they will give us substantial evidence of interest in the cause which we have espoused, by greatly extending the list of our subscriptions. All we ask of any individual is, that he will sacrifice a hundredth or a thousandth part as much as we have done, for the past two years, to help forward objects of common interest. EDITOR. INDEX.
