FRcte Of Grent Iuterest to All--Time and
Money Saved.
All families are interested in their family
physicians. They may take quack medicines for
slight ailments, but when true sickness comes,
then must come the family doctor. An are in
terested then in this matter, and every family
newspaper should give them valuable informa-
tion 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 obtained.
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 interested in
medical students. Indeed, 30 important is this
money question to our readers, that we mus
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 $155 each; or 1910 for
amounting to $780, His board for two sessions
is $3.50, or s14o for each. His fees and board
costing $62O These facts and figures are Off
! cial.
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
fee cost $50. All fees amounting to $3.50 for
the two sessions. His board for two sessions
costs $160, 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 irst-class medical
education. II to this amount be added that Of
the increased cost of travel, it is evident that
$400 would be O moderate estimate of the
amount saved by him. Indeed, students re-
siding in the New England and Atlantic States
can, by going to hrst-class medical colleges in
the West, save from 1900 to $500 in the cost of
q 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 perceptors 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, OBJ
tain three instead of two courses of lectures,
and save also $500.
Among the many new catalogues of medical
colleges recently issued, that of the Louisville
Medical College louisville, Ky. } is exceedingly
interesting. Indeed, the facts presented therein
are so important that we must present them to
our readers.
1t appears that the Faculty Of the Louisville
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 ac-
count of the triumphant success of the Louis
vile Medical College AS the result, this
> Faculty teach in the Louisville Medical Col
/ lege from September to March, and in the
? Kentucky School of Medicine from March to
] July.
3 Both Of these colleges are frst-class institu-
tions, both being connected, we see, with the
3 Association of American Medical Colleges, OF
which the colleges at New York and Philadel.
phia are also members.
From the fact Of this Faculty teaching in
these two great medical colleges, there spring
some curious and interesting results.
Students who enter the Louisville Medica.
: in September or October, ean at the close oi
that session in February, at once enter the
:. Kentucky School of Medicine, which commences
q its session in March and closes at the end Of
June. In the following September or October
s these students can again enter the LouisviIl,
Q Medical college and graduate in February
}, Thus having, in seventeen months, passed
+ three complete courses of lectures; whereas
r in seventeen months, any other Faculty car
Q give but two courses of lectures.
D The students entire fees for the three courses
in these two Louisville colleges are, we see, bu
P S187, and his board for seventeen months bu
d 5000, or 1857 for the entire cost of his medca
u 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 $34O, with $2SI
z for his board (s62O in alD, it will be seen tina
n in Louisville he gets one full course of lecture
4 more in the same time and saves in fees anC
4 travel fully $500. A GREAT ECONOMY OF TIME
!. A GREAT SAVING OF MONEY, AND THE GAINING o.
ONE ENTIRE COURSE OF LECTURES. Indeed, it i
