Facts of Great Interest 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. ALI
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 a student has to pay for
two courses of lectures $155 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 1920. 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 costs $50. All fees amounting to $16O for
| the two sessions. His board for two sessions
costs $3.50, or $50 for each. 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 $500 in the cost of frst-class medical
education. If to this amount be added that of
the increased cost Of travel, it is evident that
| $400 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-clsss medical colleges in
| the West, save from 5000 to $500 in the cost of
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 are other facts now to be given of
even greater interest facts which show that a
student can not only save $500 in the cost of
L I,
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.
It appears that the Faculty Of the Louisville
Medical College have been also elected to fill
the vacant chairs in the Kentucky School CT
| 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 Lou
isville 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.
Both of these colleges are frst-class institu-
tons, both being connected, we see, with the
Association of American Medical Colleges, of
which the colleges at New York and Philadel-
pha 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 it's 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 having, in seventeen months,
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, we see, but
$751; and his board for seventeen months but
| $780, or 1867 for the entire cost of his medical
education, board and all fees included.
When it is remembered that in Eastern col
leges the student gets but two courses of lect-
ures, and has to pay for these $780, with $3.50
for his board ($620 in alD, it will be seen that
in Louisville he gets one full course of lectures
more in the same time, and saves in fees aud
travel fully $500. A GREAT ECONOMY OF TIME,
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 NO OTHER
MEDICAL COLLEGES, CAN STUDENT IN SEVEN
TEEN MONTHS OBTAIN THREE FULL COURSES OF
| LECTURES AND YET SAVE IN MONEY FULLY $500.
