TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS AND CONTRIBUTORS. With this closing number of our sixteenth volume the Publishers and Editors unite in thanking those members of the profession whose support has secured the success of the COURIER OF MEDICINE, K The favor with which our efforts put forth in the past have been received is gratifying in every way, and gives encouragement to increased efforts to meet the wants and interests of our patrons. The year which is just closing has been one of unusual stringency in financial circles, and collections have been difficult to make in many cases. This condition of things has affected all departments of business and has been felt alike by physicians and medical publishers. Now as the times are improving we would urge upon those of our subscribers who are in arrears to settle the same promptly; and we would ask each one to do us the favor to secure, if possible, at least one additional subscriber. Those now upon our list will continue to receive the COURIER during the year 1887 unless the Publisher be notified to the contrary. We shall be gratified to have our subscribers also become contributors and send us for publication reports of cases which have occurred under their observation or other papers of interest to the profession.
