Dr. Rayner: The Editors beg to report that there has been no material change in the production of the Journal during the year 1905.
The number of copies printed remains 1075, although from the steadily increasing membership the number will probably require to be increased at the end of the present year, as well as from a slight increase in the sale of the Journal of the Association.
The cost of the production of the Journal remains practically the same as during the past ten years, although the numbers printed have increased so considerably. In the present year, on the advice of the publishers, the net sale price has been increased slightly, and this on the present sale of the Journal will increase the receipts from this source by some £25.
The advertisements also show a tendency to increase, although still very much below the amount that might be reasonably expected when the importance of the opportunity of advertising is considered. The fact that the Journal is regularly in the hands of the medical officers of hospitals containing more than 100,000 beds should attract the attention of all concerned in the supply of hospital requisites. The members of the Association individually might greatly aid in making the value of the Journal, from an advertisement point of view, better known to possible advertisers.
The Editors wish again to express their thanks to their sub-editor, Dr. Lord, for the very valuable and important assistance that he has given during the past year
