MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.

.
The plan of instruction in this department of the
University, presents peculiarities, to be found in no
other school of medicine in the Union. The lee
lures commence on the LIST of October and terminate
on the 29th of June ensuing.
Owing to the length Of the session, which en-
braces period of nine months three professors are
enabled to perform all the duties which in other med
ca institutions are usually assigned to six; and the
students are seldom required to attend more than
two lectures on the same day. BY this arrange.
ment, the students have an opportunity Of being
well grounded in Anatomy, Physiology, and other
elementary branches Of medical science, before they
investigate their applications in conneXon with the
study Of the practice of Medicine and Surgery.
Immediately before each lecture, the students are
subjected to full and rigid examination on the pre-
ceding lecture, or on portions of approved text
books. 1t is apparent that the plan, of which the
outlines have been briefly stated one which allows
the student to commence well as to complete his
medical studies in the institution, and presents a
happy combination Of the advantages of the system
Of instruction. by private pupiage and that of public
lectures.
Any person of approved moral conduct may offer
as a candidate, and receive the degree of M. d.,
in the study Of medicine, or of joining the school,
provided he undergoes, in satisfactory manner,
the various examinations prescribed by the enact
ments. The professors are:
Robert f.. Rogers, M, D., Professor of Chems-
try, Pharmacy, and Materia Medica
Henry Howard, NJ D., Professor Of Pathology
and Practice of Medicine Obstetrics, and Medical
Jurisprudence
James L. Cabell, M. D., Professor of Anatomy,

From the Brooklyn Daily Advertiser.
The following note received this morning from
ex-sheriff Sryker. We met him in Fulton street,
limping along by the aid Of cane and, on inquiry,
found he suffering from severe attack of rheu-
matism. Having heard much said of the efficacy OF
the Galvanic Plaster in such cases, and being in
possession of one, with no pains to be alIeviated-
except the pain of having empty purse, which the
dwelling, procured the Galvanic and presented it to
our friend, with the request to acquaint us with the
result the next time we met. Not having seen him
since, we suppose he was too much elated to wait
an interview, and sent us the following note. We
know not whether shall be doing right to publish
it, but take the responsibility for the benefit of others
who are suffering from the distressing maady, rheu-
matism.
