MEDICAL DEPARTMENT..

MEDICAL DEPARTMENT..
The plan Of instruction in this department Of the
University, presents pecuarities, to be found in no
other school Of medicine in the Union. The lee
lures commence 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 perform all the duties which in other med
ical institutions 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 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.
Any person of approved moral conduct may offer
as a candidate, and receive the degree of M. D.,
without reference 10 the time he has been engaged
in the study of medicine, Of joining the school,
provided he undergoes, in a satisfactory manner,
the various examinations prescribed by the enact
ments. The professors are;
Robert Z. Rogers, M d., Professor of Chems-
try, Pharmacy and Matera Medica.
Henry Howard, M. D., Professor of Pathology
ard Practice Of Medicine, Obstetrics, and Medical
Jurisprudence.
James L. Cabe, NJ D., Professor of Anatomy,
Physiology, and Surgery.

From the BROOKLYN Daily Advertiser

The following note was received this morning from
ex-sherif .Siryker. We met him in Fulton street,
limping along by the aid of cane, and, on inquiry,
found he suffering from severe attack of rhe-
mntism. Having heard much said of the efficacy OF
the Gavanic Plaster in such cases, and being in
possession of one, with pains TO be alleyiated-
except the pain of having an empty purse, which the
plaster had failed TO remedy--We proceeded to our
dwelling, procured the Galvanc, and presented il to
our friend, with the request to acquaint 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 the following note. We
know not whether we shall be doing right to publish
it, but take the responsibility the benefit Of others
who pre suffering from the distressing maady, rheu-
