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 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 OBJ.
tanned.
The cost OF this education is far less than
it is in Eastern cities a fact o great interest
to parents and guardians, and to all inter.
ested in medical students. Indeed, 30 i'm.
portant 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 q student has TO pay
for two courses of lectures $l55 each or
1910 for the two. His diploma fee is $50;
all fees amounting TO $340. His board for
two sessions is $3.50, or $40 for each. His
fees and board costing $500, 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 $65 each, or $3.50 for the two.
His diploma fee costs $50. All fees amount.
ing to SlG0 for the two sessions. His board
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 1900 in the cost of a
first~class medical education. If to this
amount be added that of the increased cost
Of travel, il is evident that $500 would be n
moderate estimate 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 medi.
cal 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 AMI preGeptors 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 q student can not only save $500 in the
cost of his medical education, but that he
can gain one full additional course of lec-
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, hat of the
Louisville Medical College louisville, Ky.,)
is exceedingly interesting. Indeed, the
facts presented therein are 80 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 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 of this Faculty teaching in
these two greatmedical 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
its session in March and closes at
he end Of June. In the following Septem.
Der or October, these students can again
inter the Louisville Medical College and
in February. Thus having, IN
seventeen months, passed three complete
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,
wee see, but 4lS7, and his board for seven
cen months but 1900, or 1857 for the entire
ost of his medical education, board, and all
ees included.
When 1t is remembered that in Eastern
the student gets but two courses of
and has to pay for these $340, with
$50 for his board $500 in all, it will be seen
nat in Louisville he gets one full course Of
,ctures more in the same time, and saves in
,es and travel fully $500. GREAT ECoNo.
