Facts OF Great Interest to AI1s-TIme and
Money Saved.

All families are int crested in their family
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 OBJ
| tanned.
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 inter
ested in medical students. Indeed; so 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 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 $34O. His board for
two sessions 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
medical colleges are equally as COED as they
are in New York, the student pays for his
| two courses s65 each, or $130 for the two.
( His diploma fee costs $50. All fees amount
ing to $3.50 for the two sessions. His board
for two sessions costs $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 a
| frst-ciass medical education. If to this
amount be added that of the increased cost
OF travel it is evident that $500 would be q
moderate estimate of the amount saved by
him. Indeed, students residing 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 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 preceptors 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, hut that be
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
Louisville Medical College louisville, KY,
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 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.cIass insti
tutions, both being connected, we see, with
| the Association of American Medical Col
Ieges. of which the colleges at 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
| commences its session in March and closes al
the end of June. In the following SePtem
Der or October, these students can again
enter the Louisville Medical College and
! graduate in February. Thus having, IL
seventeen months, passed three complete
courses 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 S187, and his board for seven
teen months but 600, or 1867 for the entire
cost of his medical education, board, and al
fees included.
When 1t is remembered that in Eastern
colleges the student gets but two courses OF
lectures, and has to pay for these $40, with
that in Louisville he gets one tull course o
lectures more in the same time, and saves il
fees and travel fully $500. 4 GREAT ECONO
MY OF TIME, 4 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 publ,
in these catalogues, that IN NO OTHER WAY
in no other city, and an no other Medical Col
leqes, can student IN seventeen months Obtain
three t1lU courses OF lectures and get sdre "a
money july $500.
Every student or guardian or parent Wh'
reaps these remarkable facts should send a
once for catalogues. 1t is stated in the cata
Iogues just issued, that all applications 10
them should be addressed simply to tn
Dean Of the Louisville Medical College
Louisville, KY.
We see that five per cent of the class ar
granted beneficiary privileges.
We also see in the catalogues issued, tina
students who desire it will be educated b.
the graded system adopted at Harvard, Mas
sachUsetts.
Oneis not surprised to read, after learning
these remarkable advantages offered by TIL
Faculty, that ninety.ive students have bee
graduated by it in the last year.
The class list as published shows student
from almost every State; the best evidenc
of the fact that the public throughout thi
country is rapidly obtaining and appreciat
ing the valuable information here given t
our readers.
1t seems only natural that so many student
