During this same period, from September, 1835, to January,
1836, Dr. James M. Mason edited at Cincinnati the
monthly Ohio Medical Repository. In 1842 the monthly
Western Lancet was begun by Dr. Leonidas M. Lawson and
continued until 1859. At that time it combined with the
monthly Medical Observer^ which had been started in 1856
by George Mendenhall, John A. Murphy, and E. S. Stevens,
to form the Cincinnati Lancet and Observer. In 1873 it
was purchased by J. C. Culbertson, who in 1878 acquired
control of the Clinic, which had published, under the auspices
of the Ohio Medical College, fourteen volumes since
1871. This combination was called the Cincinnati Lancet
and Clinic and within a few years became the Cincinnati
Lancet-Clinic. After Culbertson's retirement it lost much

changed to Cincinnati Medical and Surgical Neivs. At Columbus
was published from 1848 to November, 1864, the
Ohio Medical and Surgical Journal. It was revived and a
new series ran from 1876 to 1878.
