JEFFERSON MEDICAL COLLEGE.
'u>HE Jefferson Medical College was instituted in
philadelphia, in 1925, and, during it's first scs-
SION, was endowed by an act OF the Legislature of
Pennsylvanis, with power TO confer degrees in Me-
dicine. and with oil the privileges aud prerorayes
OF similar institutions, in our country and in Eu-
r"Pe s.,-
Since its foundation near COO students have attend
ed the respective courses Of lectures, ana ofxhis
number las from various sections of the United
States, tho Canadas, West Indes and Europc have
been admitted to the degree of Doctor of Medicine
The sixth session of the college will commence on
the nrst Monday OF November next, and, il is be-
eved, under the uoet 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 it is thought proper
to specify particularly, the appointment of Professor
Drake OF Cincnncti to the chair of the Practice of
Medicine. His reputation n lecturer ia acknow.
lodged, while his practical acquaintance with the dis
cases most prevalent IN tho southern and western
SECTIONS of our country, III which a majority OF the
graduates in medicine may be expected To locale
themselves must greatly enhance the value Of his
instruction. ~
The additions which have been made TO the ana
tomlca cabinet, with the facilities afforded for dis
section and demonstration, are such as w, beor com
parison with those OF the oldest medical schools OF,
this side Of the Atlantic.
In all other respects, il is confidently believed il is
nc" surpassed oy any OF its sister instit uons with

ing of perfect equai,y,-a course lectures in one
being held equivalent to course on the same bran.
