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 sivs them
valuable information and advice. w
Every one knows that in times gone by,
the great family doctors were educated in
New York and Phil,delphis, 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. 'ie'' '-a.l 900 ID lHL
The cost Of this education is far less than
IL Is in Eastern cities; a 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 a student has to pay
43i0 for the two. His diploma fee is $50;
all fees amounting to $Si0. His board for
two sessions is $3.50, or $40 for each. His
fees and board costing $3.50. These facts
and figures are official.
In Louisville, Chicago. etc., where the
medical colleges are equally as good ss they
are in New York, the student pays for his
two courses COS each, or $3.50 for the two.
His diploma fee costs $3o All fees amount
ing to $3.50 f"r 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 q
frst-class medical education. II to this
amount be added that Of the increased cost
Of travel. it is evident that s40O would be a
moderate estimate Of the amount saved by
him. Indeed, students residing in the New
England and Atlantic States can, by going
to first.class medical colleges In the West,
save from $500 W $500 In the cost of a 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 an 4 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, but that he
can gain one full additional course of leo
tures 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 tina,
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; thii
great compliment having been extended II
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 frst-class insti
tutions, both being connected, we see, with
} the Association of American Medical Col
leges, 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 ai
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, iu
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 41S7, and his board for seven.
teen months but s2O0, or 1857 for the entire
cost of his medical education, board, and all
fees included.
When 1t is remembered that in Eastern
colleges the student gets but two courses of
lectures, and has to pay for these s340, with
$3.50 for his board (s62o in all), it will be seen
that in Louisville he gets one iull course of
lectures more in the same time, and saves in
fees and travel fully $500. AGREAT ECoNo.
MY OF TINE, A GREAT SAVING OF MONEY,
AND THE GAINING OF ONE ENTIRE COURSE
OF LRcruREs. Indeed, 1t is evident from
the facts and figures afforded to the public
in these catalogues, that IN NO OTHER WAY,
IL, no other city, and in no other Medical Col>
iege student IN seventeen months obtain
three FIJI courses Of lectures and yet sdre in
money fully $500.
Every student or guardian or parent who
reaps these remarkable facts should send at
once for catalogues. It's stated in the cata-
l,sues Just issued, that all applications for
them should be addressed simply to the
Dean of the Louisville Medical College,
Louisville, KY. ...
We see that Eve per cent Of the class are
granted bene ficiary privileges.
We also see in the catalogues issued, that
students who desire II will be educated by
the graded system adopted at Harvard, Mas
sachusetts.
