Founded in the midst of the vellow fever epidemic by three physicians, Samuel Latham Mitchill, Elihu Hubbard Smith, and Edward Miller, the quarterly Medical Repository was the first medical journal in America to enjoy a high reputation at home and abroad. The editors promised to give special attention to the study of epidemics, to the connection between climate and health, and to diet, and denoted much space in the earlv volumes to the yellow fever epidemic, while later volumes gave attention to the winter, or spotted, fever. In addition, there were abundant case histories, American and foreign medical news, reviews of American medical books. and information on non-medical branches of sciences, such as natural history, geography, chemistry, and mineralogy.
