Excerpt from Medical and Surgical Reports of the Boston City Hospital, 1897 The eighth series of the Medical and Surgical Reports of the Boston City Hospital appears again as of late as an annual publication. The number of pages has been increased, but even with more space the editors have been forced to postpone to another year some contributions which they would gladly have included, among others a clinical and pathological statement of the cases of cerebro-spinal menin gitis in the Hospital during a present epidemic. The ana tomical and bacteriological study of acute and subacute nephritis, the statement of the treatment of diphtheria in the department for contagious diseases, the paper on the adapta tion of X-rays to medical practice, though necessarily long, are valuable and timely contributions. It is not strange that our report should grow as the Hospital grows. There are one hundred and fifty more beds than last year, the number of beds being now eight hundred and fifty-six, of which three hundred and one are in the contagious wards. Since the publication of the last report the Hospital staff has lost by death Doctor vvuc. B. Fifield, a member of the consulting board; Doctor edward J. Forster, a Visit ing physician for diseases of women, and for a number of years the efficient secretary of the medical and surgical staff; and Doctor edward wigglesworth, for many years at the head of the department for diseases of the Skin.
