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. ID;
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 $15o each; or $40
for the two. His diploma fee is $50; all fees
amounting to $34O. His board for two ses-
sions is $3.50, or $14) for each. His fees and
board costing $500. 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 $50 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 incl eased 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 $500 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 Informal
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-
eop%od 4horo;n oro ~ Of 1s<
present them to our readers.
1t 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 ofthe 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 in
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 or
October, these students can again enter the
Louisville Medical college and graduate in
February. Thus haviHg,in seveteen months,
passed three complete courses of lectures
whereas, in seventeen months, any 9th er
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 $1S7, and his board for seventeen
months, 1900 or 367 for the eutire cost Of his
medical education, board, and all fees includ-
ed
When it is remembered that in Eastern col
eges the student gets but two courses of lee
lures, and has 10 pay for these $40, with $3.50
for his board $500 in alp, it will be seen that
! in Louisville he gets one full course of lee
| lures more in the same time, and saves in fees
| and travel fully $500. A GREAT ECONOMY OF
TINE, A GREAT SAVING 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 40 OTHER MEDICAL COLLEGE, CAN 4
STUDENT IN SEVENTEEN MONTHS OBTAIN
| THREE FULL COURSES OF LECTURES AND YET
| SAVE IN MONEY FULLY $780, u *s'>-.'
Every student or guardian or parent who
| reaps these remarkable facts should send at
once for catalogues, tits stated in the cata-
| logucs Just issued, that all applications fol
them should be addressed simply to the
Dean of the Louisville Medical College, Louis.
