Time and Money Saved.
All families are interested in their family
physicians. They may take quack medi.
cines for slight ailments, but when true sick.
ness comes, then must come the family doc
tor. All are interested 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
to be obtained.
The cost of this education is far less b
it is in Eastern cities; a fact ofegxeaf Inter

for two courses of lectures $l55 each; or
$50 for the two. Ills diploma fee is $50;
all fees amounting to $40. His board for

fees and board costing $500. These facts,
and figures are official. s
In Louisville, Chicago, ETC., where the
medical colleges are equally as good as they
' are in New York, the student pays for his
two courses 500 each, or $50 for the two.
His diploma fee cost $50. All fees amount
. . ing to $3.50 for the two sessions. His board

t 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
e a tirst'class medical education. If to this
amount be added that of the increased cost
of travel, it is evident that $500 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 to $500 in the cost of a medi
