Pages should be numbered consecutively, with the title given on a separate page which also bears the author's name and degrees, a short running head of no more than 35 characters (letters and spaces), and, at the bottom of the page, the author's address. References. I n accordance with the recommendations of the International Steering Committee of Medical Editors, references should be listed as follows: References must be numbered consecutively, in the order in which t h e y are first mentioned in the text. The form of references should be that adopted by the US National Library of Medicine and used in the Index Medicus. The sequence is as follows: Journals: Name of author(s) followed b y initials (if more than six authors, give only the first three and add et al.). Full title of the paper. Abbreviated title of the journal, in the case of the BRITISH HOMmOPATHIC JOURNAL, Br H e m J (no comma or full stop) year of publication; volume number: page number(s).
