FACTS OF GREAT INTEREST TO ALL.
TIME 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 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 S155 each; or $50
for the two. His diploma fee is $50; all fees
amounting to $40. His board for two SEES
sions is $3.50, or $40 for each. His fees and
hoard costing 1920 These facts and figures
are official.
cal colleges are equally as good as they are
in New York, the student pays for his two
courses S65 each, or $3.50 for the two. His
diploma fees cost $50. All fees amounting to
$3.50 for two sessions His board for two ses-
sions cost $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 tirst-class
medical education. If to this amount be add
ed that of the increased cost OF travel, IL Is
evident that $500 would be moderate est
mate of the amount saved by him. Indeed,
students residing in the New England
and Atlantic States can, by going to tirsfclass
medical colleges in the West save from 500
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 preceptors
will. we feel sure, thank us for this valuable
information.
But there arc other facts now to be gwen
of even greater interests facts which snow
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 $500.
Among the many new catalogues OF medl-
cal colleges recently issued, that OF the
Louisville Medical College louisville, kyr)
is exceedingly interesting. Indeed, the facts
presented 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 vacant chairs in the Kentucky School
of Medicine--one of the Oldest and best medi-
cal colleges in this country; this great COM
pliment having been extended to this Faculty
on account of the triumphant success oil the
Louisville Medical College. As the result,
this Faculty teach in the Louisville Medlcai
College from September TO March, and IN the
Kentucky School of Medicine from March
to July.
Both of these colleges are first-class instltu-
TONS both being connected, we see, WIN
the Association of American Medical Colleges,
of which the colleges at New York and Phil
adelphia are also members.
From the fact of this Faculty teaching n
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
| mences its session in March and closes at the
| end of June. In the following September OF
October. these students can again enter the
Louisville Medical college and graduate IL
| h in, artq pn months
passed three complete courses OF lectures
whereas, in seventeen months, any othel
Faculty can give but two courses OF lectures
The students entire fees fer the three cours
es in these two Louisville colleges are, w
see. but $751;, and his board for seventeen
months but $500, or 1887 for the entire COS
of his medical education, board, and all lee
included.
When II is remembered that in Eastern col
leges the student gets but two courses OF lec
lures and has topay for these S340 with SO
or his board (620 in ALI, it will be seen ina
in Louisville he gets one fun course OF lee
tures more in the same time, and saves y
fees and travel fully $500. A GREAT EcoNoM
OF TIME, GREAT SAVING OF MONEY, And III
