JEFFERSON MEDICAL COlLEGE.
'uSHE Jefferson .uesiicai College was instituted in
4 Philadelphia, in 1875, and, during its first
sion, was endowed by an act OF tho Legislature Of
Pennsylvania, with power TO confer degrees in Me
deine, and with all the privileges and prerogsvcs
OF similar institutions, in own country and in Eu
rope.
Since it's foundation near COO students have attend
cd tho respective courses of lectures; and Of this
number lbs from various sections of the United
States, the Canadas, West Indies, and Europe have
been admitted to the degree of Doctor Of Medicine
The sixth session of the college viii commence on
the first Monday OF November next, and, It is be-
lieved, under the most favorable auspices; every OBJ
stocle to its future advancement having been removed
and such adopted by the board of trustees,
as will give impulse TO the excrons Of the
faculty Among these measures, il Is thought proper
to specify particularly, the appointment Of Professor
Drake Of Cincinnati, to tho chair of the Practice of
Medicine His reputation a lecturer is ncknow-
lodged, whilo his practical acquaintance with the dis
eases most prevalent 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 have been made to the ana
tomical cabinet, with the facilities afforded for dis
section and demonstration, such viii 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
no, surpassed by any of it's sister institutions with
all OF which, fur is known, placed on foot

ches, in every other.
