JET EEhSON MEDlCAL COILEGE.
'lNHE Jelerson Medical College was instituted in
Philadelphia, in 1895, and, during tie first ses-
sion, was endowed by an act OF the Legislature OF
Pennsylvania, with power to confer degrees in Me-
dicine, and with all the privileges and prerogstives
of similar stitutisns in country and in Eu-
rope
Since its foundation 600 students have attond-
cd the respective courses of lectures; asd of this
humber Ids from vo-ious sections of the United
States. the Canadas, West Indies and Europe, have
been admitted to the degree of Doctor of Medicine
Yhe sixth session ofthe college will commence on
the first Monday Of November next, and, it is be-
heved, under the most favorable auspices; every OBJ
sucle to its future advancement ha wing been removed
and such 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 oil Cincinnati, TO the chair of the Practice of
Medicine. HIS reputation q lecturer is acknow-
lodged, while his practical acquaintance with tho dis
eases most prevalent in the southern aud western
sections Of 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 as will bear com
parison with those of the oldest medical schools on
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, as far is known, il IL placed on foot
ing of perfect eqnay.-a course Ct lectures IN one
being held equivalent to course oil the same bran
ches, IL every other.
The Aims House and Hospital of the city afford
ample opportunities 10 tho student of ucuurin1 cl;ri
cal instruction. aud hours are appropriated to this
purpose an intrmary for diseases of the eye is aso
connected with the college, under the direction of the
Professor OF Surgery, who will operate in the pre-
sence OF the class. where this is practicable
