JEFFERSON MEDICAL COLLEGE.

yEFEEhSOA MEDlCAL COLLEGE. !
rHSHE Jefferson Medical College was instituted in
Philadelphia in 1925. and, during it's first ses-
sion, was endowed by an act O.. the Legislature Of
pennsylvania, with power to confer degrees n Me
dcine and with all the privileges and prerogatives
OF similar institutions, in our own country and IN Eu-
rope.
Since its foundation GOO students have attend
ed the respective courses of lectures; and of this
number las from various sections of The United
States, the Canatas, 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, 1t is be-
eved, under he most favorable auspices. every OBJ
stace TO its future Advancement having been removed,
and such measures adopted by the board of trustees,
as will give new impulse to the eXertions Of the
faculty. Among these measures, 1t is 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-
ledgcd while his practical acquaintance with the dis
eases most prevalen, in the southern and 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 hive been made to the ana
tomca cabinet with the facilities afforded for dis
section and demonstration, such VIII bear com
parson with those of the Oldest medical schools on
this side Of the Atlantic.
In all other respects, it lie confidently believed it is
not surpassed by any of its sister institutions with
all of which, far is known, is placed on foot
ing of perfect equalty,-a course lectures in one,
being held equivalent to a the same bran
ches, in every other.
| The Aims House and Hospital Of the city afford
ample opportunities to the student of acquiring cni-
cal instruction, and hours appropriated TO this
purpose An infrmary for diseases of the eve is also
connected with the college under the direction of the
