In this article are studied 12 issues of the Jerezana Medical-Surgical Gazette, corresponding to the years 1871 and 1872, published in Jerez de la Frontera (Cádiz) by its founder and director “Francisco Revueltas Carrillo Montel” (1839-1887). In this journal are offered clinical histories of the Departments of Surgery and Medicine of the Hospital of Santa Isabel de Jerez, as well as others of the private clinical experiences by some authors, as the surgeon, from El Puerto de Santa María (Cádiz), Federico Rubio y Galí (1827-1902). It is also appreciated in the journal the practical teaching work carried out in those years, in the above mentioned hospital, to some students from the Cádiz Faculty of Medicine who also published their clinical experiences in the Gazette; and we have also known that “practicante” an midwives were trained in this hospital. The magazine offers statistical information about the hospital, the hospice, the home of foundlings and the sanitary status of the city. In our work we carry out a chronological index of the 12 issues of the journal, which includes the authors, articles and news published.
