The American Medical Directory

The eighteenth edition of theAmerican Medical Directoryhas been completed, and copies are now being shipped to subscribers. The long interval of eight years between this edition and the previous one made necessary the setting of new type for the entire book. The loss of experienced clerical help during the war, labor conditions and printing difficulties contributed to the delay in publication. Previous editions were compiled and printed in the headquarters building of the American Medical Association in Chicago; this edition was compiled at headquarters but was set in type and printed in another city. INCREASED INFORMATION IN THE NEW DIRECTORY The 1950 Directory contains 2,913 pages and lists information on 219,677 physicians in the United States, its dependencies and Canada and American graduates and licentiates located temporarily abroad. Since the seventeenth edition of the Directory was issued, in 1942, hundreds of thousands of changes of address have occurred;
