THE SUCCESS OF THE 1
AMERICAN
MEDICAL DIGEST
Has been phenomenal ; unprecedented in the history of medical jour- nals. As Dr. Reynolds says in a review : " 'The American Medical Digest,' a book published in monthly parts, presents a digest of the best current medical literature of this country and Europe. The most important and practical medical news and discoveries are brought in an available form to the attention of the busy practitioner with slight demands upon his time. It is one of the most valuable medical publica- tions extant. Few publications, if any, so completely cover the whole fieid of medicine and surgery as does the 'American Medical Digest, and the practitioner who can take but few medical journals should cer- tainly subscribe for this one. As regards care in the selection of the articles digested, convenience of arrangement, beauty of type, paper and general appearance, it is unequaled by any medical journal published."

SPECIAL NOTICE. -
Many charitably disposed persons, who would be pleased to aid cases of real distress, have been deterred, in a large measure, from following their inclinations in this respect, by the number of fraudulent appeals for help, that are constantly being made by professional beggars and by people who are too lazy to work.
In the course of our business, for some years past, we have been requested in many instances, by our clients, to make examination into cases, that seemed to appeal to the charity of those able to respond, and our efforts, we believe, have been of considerable service, by enabling them to discriminate, so that those really deserving of help received assistance, and impostors were exposed.
At the suggestion of a number of our friends, we have concluded, that our willingness to perform such service, without profit to ourselves, should be better known and this notice is designed to bring that fact to the attention of those who find pleasure in alleviating cases of real want and misfortune.
Very respectfully, MOONEY & BOLAND,

PREFACE.
THE GUIDE TO THE CHARITIES OF NEW YORK AND BROOKLYN is compiled from official reports, and from other sources only when reports are not issued. The compiler does not advance any opinion as to the merits of Organizations.
At first, we were averse to designating the various Benevolent Institutions of New York and Brooklyn by the word CHARITY, but upon receiving a copy of The Royal Guide to the London Charities, which is an annual record of all the philanthropic operations of the English metropolis, we concluded, as our GUIDE was intended to occupy the same field here, to use a similar title.
THE GUIDE is intended for general circulation,-as a handbook for strangers visiting the city ; as a brief record for patrons of charities; and as a book of reference for the public.
THE GUIDE will be issued annually, corrected and improved. Its promoters hope that it will be the means of spreading a knowledge of the good work done, which will cause increased efforts to sustain all Charitable Organizations.
We return thanks to the officers of Institutions and Societies for their kindness in sending reports ; and request that they will continue to do so for correcting future editions.

ANNOUNCEMENT.
THE GUIDE contains the most complete account of the Benevolent Institutions and Societies of New York and Brooklyn ever published in ONE book. It gives the location, objects, number of persons bene- fitted, income, expenditures, names of officials, etc., of 600 Philanthropic organizations, and the magni- tude of their labors will surprise and interest the general public. A similar Guide has been pub- lished in London for the past 25 years, and is recognized as a valuable auxiliary to Charitable work.
The price of The Guide is 25 cents in paper covers, and 50 cents bound in cloth with title in gold. It would be a desirable souvenir for patrons and subscribers.

BEEF PEPTONOIDS.
The Nutritive Constituents of Beef and Milk with Gluten.
Each ounce of Powder represents 10 ounces of Beef, Wheat and Milk.
Received the only Gold Medal and Highest Award at the Interna- tional Health Exhibition, London, 1884.
" Beef Peptonoids is by far the most nutritious and concen- trated food I have ever met with."-Prof. JOIIN ATTFIELD, London.
" If a medical man desires to give an invalid or convalescent a prepa- ration by the use of which the formation of flesh and blood is to be pro- moted and vigor infused into a patient, Beef Peptonoids for this purpose stands first and foremost amongst all the preparations I have Dr. A. STUTZER,
examined."
Director of the Chemical Test Laboratory and the Food Testing Office for Rhenish Prussia.
PEPTONIZED COD LIVER OIL AND MILK.
The Oil and Milk in this preparation are digested. The oil globules are 25 per cent. smaller than in cow's milk.
" I find by aid of the microscope, that as regards perfection of emul- sion-that is, admixture of a fatty with a non-fatty fluid-the oil in Peptonized Cod Liver Oil and Milk is in a finer state of division than the butter is in ordinary milk."
(Signed.) JOHN ATTFIELD.
Carnrick's Soluble Food.
The only food that closely resembles the constituents of mother's milk, and is as easily digested, the caseine being rendered soluble by partial pre-digestion, and will not coagulate or form curds in the stomach of the child.
" In my opinion Carnrick's Soluble Food is much better for nourishing children than any other infants' food. I have ever seen." Dr. A. STUTZER,
Director of the Chemical Test Laboratory and the Food Testing Office for Rhenish Prussia.
