Excerpt from Transactions of the New York State Medical Association, for the Year 1885, Vol. 2 Tm; present as well as the first volume of Transactions is the outcome of a desire to give to the medical profession in general a summary of the status of many topics which have claimed especial study both abroad and at home. The aim has been to make the subjects practically valuable, without an as sumption of undue dogmatism or an attempt to arbitrarily settle disputed claims. The papers as published reflect, of course, the convictions of the authors, and as such carry with them selves their own influence as well as their individuality. They are the work of a. Modest, industrious, yet withal authoritative element in the profession, which for divers reason; has been silent and heretofore content to leave no legacy to posterity. A proof has at length been given that the busy practitioner can spare a moiety of his time in the cause of mutual enlighten ment, and the zeal for the common good that has been dis played encourages the hope that the present volume will con stitute one of a very long series. It is not too much to say that the papers read at the first annual meeting, excellent as they were, have now been paralleled both in interest and in impor tance.
