The current number fthe Rhode Island
Medical Monthly is of usual merit. All
the papers are well written and very en-
tertaining for those who are interested in
medical subjects, for while the magazine

one that grows better each month and
efforts are being made to make il worthy
the support OF the medical fraternity OF
the country.
