Facts of Great Interest to ALL
Time and Money Saved.

L
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 by,
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 o; the West, Louisville, Chicago,
Cincinnati, all contain medical colleges in
which the very best education is to be OBJ
tanned.
The cost of this education is far less than
it is in Eastern cities: a fact of great interest
to parents and guardians, and to all inter
ested in medical students. Indeed, so i'm
portant is this money question to our read
ers, that we must give them information
which will save for themselves and their
friends both time and money.
In the Atlantic cities a student has to paw
for two courses of lectures S155 each; or
1910 for the two. His diploma fee is $50; all
fees amounting to $40. His board for two
sessions is $3.50, or 40 for each. His fees
and board costing 1920. These facts and
| figures are official.
| In Louisville, Chicago, ETC., where the
medical colleges are equally as good as they
are In New York, the student pays for his
two courses 500 each, or $3.50 for the two
His diploma fee cost $50 All fees am cunt
! ing TO $3.50 for the two sessions. His board
| for two sessions costs $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 a
first-class medical education. If to this
amount be added that of the increased cost
of travel, it is evident that $500 would be a
moderate estimate of the amount saved by
him. Indeed, students residing in the New
England States can, by going to frst-class
medical colleges in the West, save from 5000
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 Civ en-
that a student cannot only save $500 in the
cost of his medical education, but that he
can gain one full additional course of lee
lures That is to say, the student will, in
seventeen months, obtain three instead of
two courses of lectures, and save also $500.
Ameng the many new catalogues of medi-
cal colleges recently issued, that of the
Louisville Medical College louisville,
Ky,) is exceedingly interesting. Indeed,
the facts presented therein are so inpor-
tant that we must present them to our read
ers.
1t appears that the Faculty of the Louis
Vile Medical College have also been elected
to fill the vacant chairs in the Kentucky
School of Medicine -one OF the oldest and
! best medical colleges in this country; this
great compliment 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 first-class insti-
tutions, both being connected, we see, with
the Association of American Medical Col
leges, Of which the colleges at New York
and Philadelphia are also members.
| From the fact that this Faculty teaching
in these two great medical colleges, there
spring some curious and interesting results.
| Students who enter the Louisville Medi-
cal College in September or October, can,
| at the close of that session in February, at
once enter the Kentucky School of Medi-
| cine, which commences it's session in
March and closes at the end of June. In
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,
in seventeen months, any other Faculty can
give but two courses of lectures.
/ The students entire fees for the three
courses in these two Louisville colleges are,
we see, but S1S7, and his board for seven
teen months but $500, or 1857 for the entire
cost of his medical education, board, and all
| fees included.
| When it is remembered that in Eastern
colleges the student gets but two courses of
| lectures, and has to pay for these $40, with
| $3.50 for his board 1920 in ALL, it will be
seen that in Louisville he gets one full
course of lectures more in tne same time,
and saves in fees and travel fully $780, A
| GREAT ECONOMY OF TIME, GREAT saw
ING OF MONEY, AND THE GAINING OF ONE
ENTIRE COURSE OF LECTURES. Indeed, it
is evident from the facts and figures afforded
to the public in these catalogues, that IN no
OTHER WAY, IN NO OTHER CITY, AND IN NO
! OTHER MEDICAL COLLEGES, CAN STU
DENT IN SEVENTEEN MONTHS OBTAIN
THREE FULL COURSES OF LECTURES AND
YET SAVE IN MONEY FULLY $500.
Every student or guardian or parent who
reads these remarkable facts should send at
once for catalogues. 1t is stated in the cata-
logues just issued, that all applications for
them should be addressed simply to the
Dean of the Louisville Medical College,
Louisville, KY.
We see that five per cent. of the class are
granted beneficiary privileges.
| We also see in the catalogues issued, that
students who desire it will be educated by
| the graded system adopted at Harvard,
| Massachusetts.
One is not surprised to read, after learn
ing these remarkable advantages offered by
