FACTS OF. GREAT INTEREST TO ALL.
r.: TINE AND MONEY SAVED.


physicians. They may tai Ike 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 obtained.
The cost of this education is far less than it
is in Eastern cities;a 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 S155 each; Or 1910
for the two. His diploma fee is $50; all fees
amounting to $40. His board for two SEES
sions is $3.50, or $40 for each. His fees and
board costing $780, 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 student pays for his two
courses S65 each, or $50 for the two. His
diploma fees cost $50. All fees amounting to
$3.50 for two sessions. His board for two ses
sions cost $3.50, or $50 for each. The entire
fees and board costing $780, These figures
are also official, and show" that the studen,
who goes to the great colleges of the West
saves fully $500 in the cost of first-class
medical education. If to this amount be add
cd that. of the increased cost of travel, it is
evident that $500 would be a moderate esti
mate 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 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: - ''+:i . 80. -
But there are other facts now to be given
Of even greater interest; facts which show
that a student can not only safe $500 in the
cost of his medical education. but that he can
gain one .tull additional. course of lectures.
That is to say, the student will, in seventeen
months, obtain three instead Of two courses
of lectures, and save also $500. -"
Among tile many new catalogues Of medi-
cal colleges. recently issued, that of the
Louisville Medical College lLeuisyillc, Ky,)
is exceedingly interesting, Indeed, the facts
must present them to our readers. '''
It appears that the Faculty of The Louis
vile Medical College have been also elected
to fill vacant chairs: in the Kentucky School
of Medicine-one Of the. Oldest and best medi-
cal colleges in this country; this great com
plimcnt 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. class institu-
tions, both being connected, we see, with
the Association ofAmerican Medical Colleges.
of which the colleges at New York and Phil
adelphia are also members ,zv.,.., >s:e..,
From the fact Of this Faculty teaching il
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,sesslon in February, at once enter the
Kentucky School Of Medicine, whichy com
,alences its session in March and closes at the
lend Of June. In the following September or
October, these students can again enter the
Louisville Medical college and graduate in
February. Thus havingin seventeen months,
passed three complete, courses ofilectures;
whereas, in. seventeen; months. any other
Faculty can give but two courses Of, lectures.

'es in These two Louisville colleges are, We
