r |"''H A NK FU L

for the encouragement and generous judgments it has received in in the past, the Alienist and Neurologist enters upon another year with a hopeful, and, it is believed, useful future before it. Its subscription list and the number of its contributors and pages have steadily increased since the day of its inception, till now it counts its friends and collaborators in all the States at home and in many countries abroad. It will continue its endeavors to promulgute sound teaching respecting the nature and treatment of the Neuro-Psychic and Nervous diseases. It will continue to maintain that Psychiatry and Neurology, like the study of the vascular system, are essential parts of the trunk, rather than special branches of medicine, and it will endeavor to bring all real progress in these departments concisely, prominently and satisfactorily before the General Profession. Due prominence will be given to Blectrology, Alcoholism, Meconism, and other toxic neuroses, especially the Pathology, management and treatment of Inebriety, as within its legitimate province. Though the writings of savants will often find place in its pages, their contributions will be mainly such as practicing physicians cannot well ignore. No effort or necessary outlay in the conduct of the Alienist and Neurologist will be spared to deserve and retain its present degree of professional confidence, and to merit still greater approbation and support. Its friends have aided it well We hope they will continue to aid it in the future, as no other than a in the past. professional interest is fostered thereby— no publishing house owns it. It will be the chief aim of this Journal to so present the clinical aspects of neurology that the medical student and the physician just starting out in his career may intelligently comprehend them. The Alienist and Neurologist is not so much a journal for specialists,-as it is a special journal for general practitioners and advanced students of medicine, in which may be found more that pertains to morbid psychology and neurology than may be found in any general medical journal, and so presented as to be of special value to every physician who aspire^ to the highest attainable practical advancement. The Medico-Legal aspects of such subjects as come within its scope will receive; full consideration, so that it will be as indispensable to the student of Medical Jurisprudence as to the General Practitioner -

Its columns will he open to the candid- and impersonal discussion of all unsettled questions in Psychiatry and Neurology. Only matter of real Value, and succinctly presented, will be admitted to its pages. The ALfENiST and Neurologist, being independent in its relations, will aim to be absolutely fair and fearless in its criticisms, seeking only to be a truthful exponent of Psychiatric and Neurological truth wherever found; Contrbutions of merit from competent sources of experience invited.
