MEDICAL DEPARTMENT..


The plan Of instruction in this department Of the
University presents peculiarites, be found in no
other school OF medicine IN the Union. The leo
lures commence on the LIST of October and terminate
on the 9th of June.
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 70 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 beng
well grounded in Anatomy, Psychology, and other
elementary branches of medical science before they
investigate their applications in connsxion 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-
cedng lecture, or on portions Of approved text
books. Ii Is apparent that the plan, of which the
outlines have been briefly stated is one which allows
medical studies in the institution, and presents
happy combination of the advantages of the system
Of instruction, by private pupiase and that Of public
lectures. Hn.r. .r.rF s'a... la....
Any person of approved moral conduct may offer
a 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 a satisfactory manner,
the various examinations prescribed by the enact
mems. The professors are:
Robert f. Rogers, M d., Professor Of Chemis-
try, Pharmacy, and Materia Medica-
Henry Howard, M. D., Professor Of Pathology
and Practice of Medicine, Obstetrics, and Medical
Jurisprudence.
James L. Cabell, NJ. d., Professor Of Anatomy

THAS. c. REINHARDT'S patent glas
~ pad double and single lever truss

(patented Sept. "a lS44) for the support and cure
of rupture, or hernia suitable to all and ages
for men, women, and children.
This truss has the superiority Of any heretofore
in use: first account Of its durability and clean
illness, the rupture pad eing of glass, lin any
shape or form,) the adjustments Of the springs to
suit the action of the body, and calculated to be
fitted to either side. The rupture pad (glass) has
double motion: first, by revolving on its own
axis; second, by the lever to which it is attached,
and where said lever is connected to the
spring. The superiority which this truss has over
others is obvious in this that it is most effectua in
retaining the parts in their proper place, and ma
king due pressure; it is always clean; its shape or
form is durable, which in stuffed pads is not the
case, (as they become saturated with the fluids
from the body) The umbcal truss is unsur-
passed, being so adapted as to remain perfectly
secure where applied
AS proof of its efficacy ofthe great number that
has been vended, not one of the owners has been
dissatisfied, but have spoken in the most commenda-
BILE terms oft.
