Public Health Reports ; volume 67, numbers 1-12, January-December 1952 : including Public Health Monographs 1962 titles, numbers 4-7 : Index

Here is represented the 116th issue of the Index to Public Health Reports. The indexes of the first three volumes of the Reports,1878-79,1887,and 1888, were included as an integral part of the index to volume 4. There after, the index continued as an annual publication until 1900. Now after 52 years as a semi annual, it returns to its annual status, coincident with the change-over of Public Health Reports from a weekly to a monthly publication. The index, too, retains its general character of author-title-subject entries of all material in Public Health Reports. However, after several years of division in to an author index and a subject-title index, it is now a one-alphabet arrangement. The appearance of (B) after an author entry indicates the paper is a brief, an author-approved condensed version of an original paper. In addition to entries for all material appearing in the monthly issues, the index carries author-title entries for Public Health Monographs published concurrently with volume 67. A manuscript file of the index, more detailed and cumulative from year to year, is maintained and is available for consultation. When binding volume 67 of Public Health Reports it is recommended hat the front covers of each issue be included in as much as the pictorial material on the inside front covers is listed in the tables of contents as frontispieces and appears in the index. Inside back covers of the monthly issues can be removed for binding since the material printed there also appears on the inside back cover of this index.1953603
