'l>HE Jefferson Medical College was Instituted in
Philadelphia, in 1895, and, during its first ses.
SION, war endowed by IN act OF tho Legislature Of
rennsylvanis, with power to confer degrees in Me
dicine, and with oil the privileges and prerogatives
OF similar institutions, in our own country and in Eu-
rope
Since its foundation near COO students have attend.
cd the respective courses Of lectures; and of this
number Ids 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 will commence on
the hrst monday oil November next, and, II is be-
iieved, under the most favorable auspices; every OBJ
stacle to its future advancement having been removed,
aud such measures adopted by the board of trustees,
as will give n new impulse to tho exertions of the
faculty. Among these measures. il IS thought proper
to specify particularly. the appointment of Professor
Drake Of Cincinnati, to the chair of the Practice of
Medicine. His reputation as q lecturer is acknow-
lodged, while hs practical acquaintance with the dis
eases most prevalent in the southern and western
scctlora OF our country, III which n major. ty of the
graduates in medicine may be expected to locate
themselves, must greatly enhance tho value of his
instruction.
The additions which have been made to the ana.
tomlcal cabinet, with the facilities afforded for dis
section and demonstration, are such as will bear com
perison with those OF. the Oldest medical schools on
this side o. the Atlantic.
In all other respects, it is confidently believed. it is
no. surpassed by any of it's sister institutions. with
al of which, as far as is known, II is placed on a foot
ing OF perfect equality,-a course cfiectures in one,
beng held equivalent 10 a course OH the same bran
ches, IN every other.
The Aims House aud Hospital of the city afford
ample opportunities To the student % acquiring clint
cal instruction, aud hours are appropriated 10 this
purpose. An infirmary for diseases of he eve is also
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
