JEFFERSON MEDICAL COLiEGE.'

JET CERoON mEDIOhL COLLEOE.
'I>HE Jsgcrson Juedicai College Was Instituted in
Philadelphia, in 1925, and, during it's first scs-
sion, was endowed by oct OF tho Legislature of
Pennsylvania, with power to confer degrees in Me-
dicnc, and with all the privileges and prerogatves
OF similar institutions, in country and in Eu-
rope.
Since its foundation near GOO students hive attend
cd the respective courses of lectures; and of this
number. Ids from various sections of the United
States, the Canndns, West Indies, and Europe have
been admitted to the degree Of Doctor of Medicine
The sixth session of the college will commence on
the first Monday Of November next, and, it is be-
evcd, undor the most favorable auspices every OBJ
stace to it's future advancement hs wing been removed
and such measures adopted by the board of trustees
as will give new impulse TO the exertons OF the
faculty. Among these measures. il il thought proper
to specify particularly, the appointment of Professor
Drake, of Cincinnati TO the chair of the Practice of
Medicine. His reputation lecturer is ucknow-
ledged whilc his practical acquaintance with the dis
cases most prevalent in the southern nnd western
sections of our country, in which majority Of the
graduates in medicine may be expected to locate
themselves, must greatly enhance the value Of his
instruction.
The additions which have been made to the anu
tomcal cabinet, with the facilities afforded for dis
section and demonstration such will bear com
parison with those OF the oldest medical schools OIL
this side Of the Atlantic.
In all other respects, it is confidently believed it is
not surpassed by any of it's sister institutions with
all of which, far us is known, il is placed on foot
being held equivalent to course ON the same bran
ches in every other.
The Aims House and Hospital of the city afford
ample opportunities To the student of acquiring clint
cal instruction, and hours appropriated TO this
purpose An inirmary for diseases of the eye is also
connected with the college, under the direction of the
Professor of Surgery, who will operate in the pre-
sencc of the class, where this is practicable
