| WASHINGTON MEDICAL INSIH-
| w TUTE.--The undersigned, proprietors Of
the Institute, having completed arrangements which
have been for sometime in progress, are HOW ready
to receive students.
This Institution is intended to afford instruction
to Medical students, not only by the commda mode
of private pupilage, (by which the preceptor by
more mperious calls on his attention, is denied time
sufficient to do more than to direct the students IN
course OF study, and perhaps to as a few sea-
era questions on each author but it is designed To
offer the student all those facilities to acquire med
cla educatloD which afforded by daily lec-
Tures, and full examinations, and to furnish
all such collateral aids to instruction, as ilIustra-
tIoSs by drawings, dry and wet anatomical prep
arations pathological specimens, and chemical ex-
periments; also, demonstrations by manual and in
srumental operations on the obsterc phantome, and
the application of surgical apparatus and bandases
The art of prescribing and compounding medicines
will be practically taught; and especial viii
be taken to give the student practical acquain-
tance with the modern mode of investigation and
diagnosis by ausculation and percussion, &c.
The course of instruction is intended to equal
the highest standard of medical education in this
country, and every Incentive and facility to
dent and perseveng cultivation of the principles Of
the science will be afforded, to beget spirit
of inquiry that will not rest satisfied with the aequ-
siion of the period OF pupilage.
The annual course of instruction will embrace
two sessions The first from the second Monday
of November till the last of February, will be de-
voted wholly to full examinations on the subjects
lecturcd in the Columbian Medical College
The second session will commence on the second
Monday of March and terminate. the last of Octo-
bcr: during which instruction will be given on the
various branches of medicine by lectures and daily
examinations. Students may enter for one or both
sessions. Terms, 500 per annum, payable in ad-
vance.
