Many of the words appearing in the JOURNAL OF UROLOGY are proprietary names even though no reference to this fact is made in the text. The appearance of any name without designation as proprietary is therefore not to be regarded as a representation by the editorial committee or publisher that it is not a proprietary name or is not the subject of proprietary rights.
