FACTS OF GREAT INTEREST TO ALL
TINE And MONEY SAVED.


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
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 it
is in Eastern cities; fact of great interest to
parents and guardians, and to all interested
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 $3.50 each; or 1910
for the two. His diploma fee is $50; all fees
amounting to $40. His board for two ses-
sions 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 medi-
cal colleges are equally as good as they are in
New York, the students pay for two courses
$65 each, or $130 for the two. His diploma
fee cost $50. All fees amounting to $160 for
the two sessions. His board for two sessions
cost $3.50, or $50 for each. The entire fees and
board costing $500. 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-class medical edu-
cation. If to this amount be added that of
the increased cost of travel, it is evident that
$500 would be moderate estimate of the
amount saved by him. Indeed, students re-
siding in the New England and Atlantic
States can, by going to frst-class medical
colleges in the West, save from 5000 to $500 in
| the cost of medical education. Surely these
great money facts cannot fail to interes
every reader, and cause him to bring them to
the attention of all studying or about to study
medicine. Parents and perceptors will, we
feel sure, thank us for this valuable informa-
ton.
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 lee
| lures. That is to say, the student will, in
seventeen months, obtain three instead OF
two courses of lectures, and save also $500.
| Among the many new catalogues of medi.
cal colleges recently issued, that of the Louis
vile Medical College louisville, Ky,) is ex-
ceedingly interesting. Indeed, the facts pre-.
scented therein are so important that we must
present them to our readers.
It appears that the Faculty of the Louis
vile Medical College have been also 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 off Louisville Medical College. As
the result, this Faculty teach in the Louis.
vile Medical College from September to
March, and in the Kentucky School of Medi'
cine 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 of New York
and Philadelphia are also members.
From the fact of this Faculty teaching ir
| these two great medical colleges, there
spring some curious and interesting results.
Students who enter the Louisville Medica
in september or October, can, at the close O
that session in FEBRUARY, at once enter thu
Kentucky School of Medicine, which com
menees its session in March and closes at thu
end of June. In the following September Oh
October, these students can again enter the
Louisville Medical college and graduate il
February. Thus having,in seveteen months
/ passed three complete courses of lectures
whereas, in seventeen months, any Other
Faculty can give but two courses of lectures
4 The Students entire fees for the three
courses in these two Louisville colleges are
we see, but $187, and his board for seventeen
J months, 5000 or 367 for the eutire cost of hi
medical education, board, and all fees includ
cd
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 $2St
for his board $500 in ALI, it will be seen tina
, in Louisville he gets one full course of lee
lures more in the same time, and saves in fee
and travel fully $500. A GREAT ECONOMY o
TIME, GREAT SAVING OF MONEY, AND TIL
GAINING OF ONE ENTIRE COURSE OF LECTURES
Indeed it is evident from the facts and figure
afforded to the public in these catalogues
: that IN NO OTHER WAY, IN NO OTHER CIT,
. AND IN NO OTHER MEDICAL COLLEGE, CAN
! STUDENT IN SEVENTEEN MONTHS oBTAI
THREE FULL COURSES OF LECTURES AND YE
/ SAVE IN MONEY FULLY $500.

!, One is not surprised to read, after learniT
these remarkable advantages afforded by th
