years in Texas, been connected with the land offices

Many forfeitures are about to accrue, from failure
to pay taxes; many claims, otherwise good, will be
barred by adverse possession of three years-that
being the limitation; many titles of lands conveyed
in the United States, cannot be admitted to record in
Texas, for want of proper Authorization. Owing
to other of these causes, the best lands
are in condition to be lost.
Having made it my business to become acquaint-
ed with all the laws relating titles, and being de-
termined attend diligently to all claims confded to
me- require, in all cases, advance in cash, suf6-
Gent to cover expenses Of investigation. When
that shall be done, am willing to take contingent
interest in the lands for attention and services.

other school of medicine in the Union. The lee

braces period of nine months, three professors are
enabled to perform all the duties which in other med
icAl institutions usually assigned to six; and the
students are seldom required to attend moro 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 conncxon 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 which allows
medical studies in the institution, and presents a
happy combination of the advantages of the system
Of instruction. by private pupage and that Of public
lectures.
AAy person of approved moral conduct may offer
as candidate, and receive the degree of M. D.,
without reference to the time he has been engaged
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 E. Rogers, M. D., Professor of Chemis-
try, Pharmacy, and Matera Medica
/ Henry Howard, M. D., Professor Of Pathology
and Practice of Medicine, Obstetrics, and Medical
Jurisprudence.
/ James L. Cabell, M. D., Professor of Anatomy,
Physiology, and Surgery.
