FACTS OF GREAT INTEREST TO ALL
TINE And MONEY SAVED,

physicians. They may take quack medicines
for slight ailments, but when true sickness
comes, then must come the family doctor. All
are interested then in this matter, and every
family newspaper should give them valuable
information and advice.
Every one knows that, in times gone bv, the
great family doctors were educated in New
York and Philadelphia but that in these days
such is no longer the case. The great cities
OF the West, Louisville, Chicago, Cincinnati,
all contain medical colleges in which the very
best education is to be obtained.
The cost of this education is far less than i:
| Is IN Eastern cities; Il fact OF great interest to
parents and guardians, and to al! inter, Sled
in medical students. Indeed, so important is
! this money question to our readers. that We
must give them information which will save
for themselves and their friends both time and
money
In the Atlantic cities student has to pay
for two courses of lectures S155 each; or $50
for the two. His diploma fee is $50; all fees
! amounting to $340. His board Cor two SEES
sions is $3.50, or $40 for each. Ills fecs and
board costing $500. These facts and figures
are official.
In Louisville, Chicago etc., where the medi-
cal colleges are equally as good as they are
in New York, the student pays for his two
courses $65 each, or $3.50 for the two. His
diploma fees cost $50. All fees amounting to
Sl60 for two sessions. His board for two ses
sions cost $3.50, or $50 for each. The entire
fees and board costing 1920. These figures
are also official, and show that the student
who goes to the great colleges OF the West
saves fully $500 in the cost Of first-cass
medical education. If to this amount be add
ed that OF the increased cost Of travel, it is
evident that $500 would be a moderate est
mate Of the amount saved by him. Indeed,
students residing in the New England
and Atlantic States can, by going to first class
medical colleges in the West, save from $500
to $500 in the cost Of a medical education
Surely these great money facts cannot fail to
interest every reader, and cause him to bring
them to the attention of all studying or about
to study medicine. Parents and preceptors
will, we feel sure, thank us for this valuable
information.
But there are other facts now to be given
OF even greater interest; facts which show
that student can not only save $500 in the
cost Of his medical education but that he can
gain one full additional course of lectures.
That is to say, the student will, in seventeen
months, obtain three instead of two courses
Of lectures, and save also $780,
Among the many new catalogues OF medi-
cal colleges recently issued, that of the
Louisville Medical College louisville, Ky.)
is exceedingly interesting. Indeed, the facts
NraQ foi %t>o<
must present them to our readers.
It appears that the Faculty Of the Louis
vile Medical College have been also elected
to fill vacant chairs in the Kentucky School
of Medicine-one OF the Oldest and best medi-
cal colleges in this country; this great CON-
plimcnt having been extended to this Faculty
on account of the triumphant success of the
Louisville Medical College. As the result,
this Faculty teach in the Louisville Medical
College from September to March, and in the
Kentucky School of Medicine from March
to July
Both Of these colleges are flrst-class institu-
tons, both being connected, we see, with
the Association of American Medical Colleges,
of which the colleges ut New York and Phil
adelphia are also members.
IL
these two great medical colleges, there spring
some curious and interesting results
Students who enter the Louisville Medical
in September or October, can, at the close of
that session in February, at once enter the
Kentucky School Of Medicine, which COM
mcnccs its session in March and closes at the
end Of June. Tn the following September or
October, these students can again enter the
Louisville Medical college and graduate in
February. Thus having,in seventeen months,
passed three complete courses of lectures;
whereas, i'll seventeen months, any other
Faculty can give but two courses OF lectures
The students entire fees for the three cours-
es in these two Louisville colleges are, we
see, but $lS7, and his board for seventeen
months hut 5000, or 1887 for the entire cost
Of his medical education, board, and all fees
included.
When it is remembered that in Eastern col
leges the student gets but two courses OF lee
lures and has to pay for these $40, with $3.50
or his board (620 in all), it will be seen that
in Louisville he gets one full course of lee
lures more in the same time, and saves in
fees and travel fully $500. A GREAT ECONOMY
OF TIME, GREAT SAVING OF MONEY, AND THE
GAINING OF ONE ENTIRE COURSE OF LECTURES.
indeed, it is evident from the facts and figures
afforded to the public / n these catalogues.that
IN NO OTHER WAY, IN NO OTHER CITY, AND IN
NO OTHER MEDICAL COLLEGE, CAN A STUDENT
IN SEVENTEEN MONTHS OBTAIN THREE FULL
COURSES OF LECTURES AND YET SAVE IN MONEY
FULLY $500.
Every student or guardian or parent who
reaps these remarkable facts should send at
once for catalogues. tits stated in the cata-
