FRIESD MAmUi Please allow me, through
the Bugle. to call the attention Of a portion Of.
the public, to the Medical Institute of DR..
Thomas, of this place. and to his facilities for
impartng knowledge of the important sci-
ences of Anatomy and Physiology.
It Is now generally conceded by philanthfo-
phists, that any scheme for the ultimate reeen-
eration of man, which docs not take cognizancs
Of the laws pertaining to the origin Of life, and
physical developcments and the relation OF
these to mental manifestation, must prove short
sighted, and in the end, deficient. 9 Our moral
and Intellectual natures can only be purified and
elevated. in proportion as our physical is proper
ly organized and developed Again. the world
is full of physical disease, and consequently
miscry and wrctchedness.
This misery and wrctchedness. are the direct
and necessary results of the violation Of physi-
cal law. either by the sufferers themselves. or
as consequence of such violation on the part
OF their parents; and that violation is general
ly the result of ignorance. Hence the mani.
fest essontiality of a knowledge of the laws
relating to the origin, n,dcvelopcmcn and healthy
action of physical lic, and their intimate rcls-
ton with, and controlling influence over, IN.
character and destiny Of human beings. An
atomy Physiology, or the structure and func-
tons of the various parts of the complicated
machinery of tho human organism, lie at tho
basis Of this knowledge AMI, in fact, embrace the
substance of it. The world is languishing. and
human nature dctcrioraiing, in consequence Of
the lack of this knowledge among the masses.
and hence the demand Tor teachers and ectur-
crs on these subjects. know Of no field for
the exercise of bcncvolencc, which promises
such large results of good to humanity, as this;
and none that guarantees better prospect Of
material reward to the qualified lecturer
Those who have gone out from this Institution,
in that capacity, arc rcaping a rich harvest,
both of those whom they have enlightened and
benefited, and of that which procures the com
forts and convenicces of life. To .fen,alss par
ticHiariy this field Of labor presents peculiar
inducements, and this Institution, unusual, and
almost unequalcd advantages.
OF DR.. Thomas, it is enough to say, that he
is gentleman, aud master of his subject. or
his abilities to, and facilities for, impartng n
correct and thorough knowledge OF Anatomy,
Physiology, and their kindred subjects, would
speak with the assurance and enthusiasm Of q
student, who has received, and is still receiving,
the benefits and blessings resulting from ths.e
facilities, and that teaching.
Besides skeletons, natural and artificial, Mus
culer preparations, wet and dry, a fine French
monikin, set of life size charts representing
the osseus, muscular, artcfal and vcinous ,yn.
tens, hundreds Of good plates, and dissrc,ic M
OF tic human subject, he has recently, at great
expense, procured an extensive collection Of
casts, taken from actual dissccton.. exhibiting
almost every part of the human system, exact.
ly as in nature. thus afiordng rare opportuni-
ty for studying the pnrts in siyhfu.
Students OF either sex, wishing to pursue q
full course of medical study, can have as good
opportunities here as any other private insti,u,.
in the State, and some advantages superior 4.
those offered at most other institutions of the
kind.
The next term will commence on the fr.,
Monday of March, next. Those joining the
class then formed, will have the benefit OF the
knowledge OF the present class, as they will DO
reviewing at that time. This arrangement
would make il very desirable for person wish
ing to study, to join the class a, that time.
For particulars. address X. q. Thomas, Msrl-
boro, Stark Co.. Ohio.
Respectfully,
