It will not knowingly be sent to any one who does not wish it, but if it is continued, through the failure to give notice for its discontinuance, payment for the time it is sent will surely be demanded.

The contributions are from medical men whose writings are accepted as authority," (Virginia Chronicle); "The best sanitary publication in America," (Mississippi Valley Medical Monthly); "Easily maintains its superiority over all similar publications," (Medical World); "Has accomplished more good than all of the other sanitary papers put together," (Hydraulic and Sanitary Plumber); “The value of a good sanitary publication can hardly be estimated. The superior of THE SANITARIAN we have never seen," (The Free Methodist); "The editor, Dr. A. N. Bell, is well known to the mercantile community for his co-operation with the merchants in quarantine reform, and to his profession as a leader in sanitary science." (N. Y. Journal of Commerce).

A MONTHLY MAGAZINE.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS PUBLICATION is to so present the results of the various in. quiries which have beer, and which may hereafter be made for the preservation of health and the expectations of human life, as to make them most advantageous to the public and to the medical profession.

The resources of sanitary science are inexhaustible. It will be a chief object of the SANITARIAN to awaken public attention to the extent of the field, and to the facts indi cating how beneficently it may be cultivated. This will be done by showing the amount of ill-nealth and mortality from preventable causes of disease; by pointing out the na ture of those causes and the way in which they operate; by showing that such causes are removable, and by exhibiting improved health, longevity and happiness as the fruits of their removal.

The laws of physiology and general pathology will be kept in view, as the basis of health; by the observance of which, hygiene constitutes a department of science which the medical profession can advantageously share with the public, or apply to individuals according to circumstances. The detail of these relations will involve questions of manifold significance, and many of them of the utmost importance to human health.

'The practical questions of State Medicine: the health of armies and navies, marine hygiene, quarantine, civic cleanliness, water supply, drainage and sewerage. Sanitary architecture: light, space, warming and ventilation. Climate and domicile: endemic, epidemic and hereditary diseases. Occupation, exercise and habits; food and beverages, in all varieties of quality and quality. In short, whatever thing, condition or circumstance is in rapport with, or antagonistic to, the perfective culture of mind and body will be considered legitimate matter for the SANITARIAN to discuss, advocate, condemn or reject at the bar of health. Advertisements will fall under the same category, none will be admitted of questionable character in this regard.

In fulfilment of its mission, the SANITARIAN asks kindly consideration and assistance from all who would aid in the protection of the most precious of gifts divinehuman life."-1873.

As the SANITARIAN has been hitherto, it will continue to be in the future. Devoted to the promotion of the art and and science of sanitation, mentally and physically, in all their relations by the investigation, presentation and discussion of all subjects in this large domain, as related to personal and household hygiene, soil and climate, food and drink, habit and exercise, occupations, vital statistics, sanitary organizations and laws, everything promotive of or in conflict with health, with the purpose of rendering sani tation a popular theme of study and universally practical.

"The Editor, Dr. A. N. Bell, is well known to the mercantile community for his co-operation with the mer chants in quarantine reform, and to his profession as a leader in sanitary science."-N. Y. Journal of Commerce "It is the best sanitary publication in America."—Mississippi Valley Medical Monthly.

THE MAJOR'S NIECE.

BY

Mrs. Sara Van Buren Brugiere and Adeline Brady.

This book tells the story of an American girl of the sweet, wholesome type, not yet old-fashioned enough among us to be quite forgotten.

The scene is laid on both sides of the Atlantic. It gives light touches and suggestions of travel and living on the Continent. At home it deals with social life. There are memories in it for those who have traveled abroad over the same roads-familiar to many.

The interest works up to some dramatic incidents.

It is a book neither didactic, philosophical nor metaphysical-simply what it calls itself, a love story, and deals with every-day human beings, perhaps neither better nor worse than those we meet at every turn, but into whose lives have come incidents of interest.

Cloth, 12mo, $1.25.

May be ordered from any bookseller, or will be sent postpaid for the price by the Abbey Press, Publishers, of One Hundred and Fourteen Fifth Avenue, New York, with Agencies in London, Montreal and elsewhere, who always issue interesting works.
