TO COLONIAL AND FOREIGN SUBSCRIBERS.SUBSCRIBERS ABROAD ARE PARTICULARLY REQUESTED

postage above the ordinary rate allowed for in the terms ofsubscriptions. Any demand for increased rates, on this or onany other ground, should be resisted. The Proprietors ofTHE LANCET have for many years paid, and continue to pay,the whole of the heavy cost of postage on overweight foreignissues; and Agents are authorised to collect, and generallydo so collect, from the Proprietors the cost of such extrapostage.The Manager will be pleased to forward copies direct from

the Offices to places abroad at the above rates, whatever bethe weight of any of the copies so supplied. Address-THE MANAGER, THE LANCET OFFICES, 423, STRAND,LONDON, ENGLAND.
