The New-Jersey gazette — Burlington [N.J.], 1784-08-23 00:00:00, page 4

IN consequence of an advertisement I inserted in the
New-York papers, for the distribution of a book,
intitled, Journal de Medicine, Chirurgie et Phar
macie Militaire, I find that the demands exceed by
far my most sanguine expectations, as well as the
number I can possibly be supplied with
Earnestly desirous to disappoint no one person, and
to render this work if possible still more generally
ufeful, I have put the French originals in the hands
of Mr. Browne, Surgeon, of New-York, to be trans
lated into the English language, whose knowledge of
the French tongue will, I make no doubt, enable
him to execute it with fidelity and corrednefs.
St. John, Consul of France.
Sixteen Dollars Reward.
RAN away from the subscribers in Trenton in
the night of the 12th inst. two indented Irish
Servants, one named William Graham, a labourer,
about 20 years of age, 5 feet 6 or 7 inches high,
much marked with the small-pox on the nose: Had
on when he went away an old short drab-coloured
coat much patched, one pair old cloth breeches, and
cloth jacket ; also took with him a blue coat, cordu
roy jacket, and a red and white striped Holland
jacket. The other named James M'Coy, about 20
years of age, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, short light
brown hair, marked with the small-pox a little in the
face, clumfey built: Had on and took with him when
he went away, one old brown coat and jacket, one
pair of green ribbed Bergen breeches, one old black
pair of plush do. one ruffled (hirt, two plain shirts, and
one felt hat. It is likely they have changed their
clothes and forged pafles—and it is thought they are
gone to the Nine Partners in New-York state, or
New-England. Whoever takes up said servants and
secures them in any gaol, so as their masters may
have them again, shall have the above reward, and
all reasonable charges paid by

THE publick have been already informed, that
by an Ordinance of His Most Christian Majesty, all
the physicians and surgeons of his military hospitals,
are directed to furnifh the royal society of physicians
at Paris, with the memoirs of all the diseases in the
several hospitals, and the mode of treating them • of
all chirurgical cases and operations, and of the im
provements made in pharmacy ; from which the soci
ety are directed to feled such as may tend to the ad
vancement of knowledge in either of the profeflions,
and publish a volume every year, to be printed in
numbers, one every three months.
Impressed with the idea that periodical publicati
ons of this kind must prove a rich source of profeffi
onal knowledge to the gentlemen of the faculty, and
to render them still more extensively ufeful, 1 have
undertaken a translation of these memoirs into Eng
lish, which I propose to publish by subscription. The
Honourable Mr. St. John, has engaged to furnifh me
with the originals as expeditiously as they can be ob
tained from the Royal Press at Paris.
CONDITIONS:
I. That the numbers be translated and printed as
soon as they arrive.
11. That they be printed on a good type and paper.
111. That each number contain about one hundred
and twenty pages odavo.
IV. That the price to subscribers be half a dollar
each number.
V. That a number be sent to the press as soon as
there are three hundred subscribers.
There are already two volumes published and in
my possession, which contain such interesting matter,
as must prove highly acceptable. A work of this
kind needs no eulogy to induce the practitioners in
phyfick and surgery of this country to purchase, for
so small a sum as two dollars a year, an epitome of
all the experience and observations in the several sci
ences of all the military physicians and surgeons in
the kingdom of France.
