EDITORIAL NOTICES.IT is most important that communications relating to the

Editorial business of THE LANCET should be addressedexclusively " To THE EDITOR." and not in any case to anygentleman who may be supposed to be connected with theEditorial staff. It is urgently necessary that attention shouldbe given to this notice. It is especially requested that early intelligence of local

events having a medical interest, or which it is desirableto bring under the notice of the profession, may be sentdirect to this office.

Lectures, original articles, and reports should be written onone side of the paper only, and when accompanied byblocks it is requested that the name of the author, and ifpossible of the article, should be written on the blocks tofacilitate identification.

Letters, whether intended for insertion or for private informa-tion, must be authenticated by the names and addressesof their writers-not necessarily for publication.

We cannot prescribe or recommend practitioners.Local papers containing reports or news paragraphs should

be marked and addressed " To the Sub-Editor."Letters relating to the publication, sale, and advertising

departments of THE LANCET should be addressed " Tothe Manager."

We cannot undertake to return MSS. not used.

Offices : 423, STRAND, LONDON, W.C.

MANAGER’S NOTICES.

ALTERATION IN THE PRICE OF " THE LANCHT."INCREASED war expenses and cost of production necessitate

an increase of the price of THE LANCET. Commencing withthe first issue in the New Year, the price will be 8d. insteadof 6d. The rates of subscription will remain as revisedin October.

TO SUBSCRIBERS.WILL Subscribers please note that only those subscriptions

which are sent direct to the Proprietors of THE LANCET attheir Offices, 423, Strand, London, W.C., are dealt with bythem ? Subscriptions paid to London or to local newsagents(with none of whom have the Proprietors any connexionwhatever) do not reach THE LANCET Offices, and con-

sequently inquiries concerning missing copies, &c., shouldbe sent to the Agent to whom the subscription is paid, andnot to THE LANCET Offices.Subscribers, by sending their subscriptions direct to

THE LANCET Offices, will ensure regularity in the despatchof their Journals and an earlier delivery than the majority ofAgents are able to effect.

THE COLONIAL AND FOREIGN EDITION (printed on thinpaper) is published in time to catch the weekly Friday mailsto all parts of the world.

TO COLONIAL AND FOREIGN SUBSCRIBERS.Subscribers abroad are particularly requested to note the rates

of subscriptions given on page 4.The Manager will be pleased to forward copies direct from
