physirians. They may take uuack 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 hv, 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 cduration is to be obtained
The cost Of this education is far less than it
is in Eastern cities: a fact Of great interest tt
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
monc;
In the Atlantic cities student has to l,ay
for two courses Of lectures S155 each: or S31C
for the two. His diploma fee is $50; all fees
amounting to $40. His hoard FOR two SEES
sions is $3.50, or $40 for each His fees and
board costing $500. These facts and figures
are Official.
In Louisville, Chicago, etc, where the medi
cal colleges are equally as good us they are
in New York, the student pays for his two
courses 500 each, or $3.50 for the two. His
diploma fees cost $50. All fees amounting t,
SlG0 for two sessions. His board for two scs
sions cost *lG0 or $50 for each. The entire
fees and board costing $20. 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 tirst-clasS
medical education. If to this amount be add
cd that of the increased cost of travel, it is
evident that $500 would be moderate csti
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 10 bring
them to the attention Of all studying or about
| to study medicine. Parents and prcceptors
will, we feel sure, thank us for this valuable

But there are other facts now to he given
of even greater interest; facts which show
cost of his medical education. but that he can
gain one full 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 the many new catalogues of mcdi-
cal colleges recently issued, that of the
Louisville Medical College Nouisvii!c, ky,>
is exceedingly interesting. Indeed the facts
presented therein are so important that we
must present them to our readers.
1t appears that the Faculty of the Louis
vile Medical College have been also elected
to fill vacant chairs in the Kentucky School
of Mcdicinc-onc Of the oldest and best mcdi-
cal colleges in this country; this great com
rlmcnt 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 Marcl,
to July.
Both Of these colleges are first class insttu-
tions both being connected, We see, with
the Association Of American Medical Colleges,
of which the colleges at New York and Phil,
adclphia are also members.
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, which com
mcnccs its session in March and closes at tho
end Of June. IN the following September o,
| October, these studentsca again enter the
| Louisville Medical college and graduate i,
| February. Thus having,in seventeen months
passed three complete courses OF lectures
whereas, in seventeen months, any othc
Faculty can give but two courses Of lectures
The students entire fees for the three cours
es in these two Louisville colleges are, W.
see, but slS7, and his board for scvcntcc,
months but $500, or 1887 for the entire COS
of his medical education, board, and all. fec
! included.
When it is remembered that in Eastern col
lcges the student gets but two courses of lee
lures aud has to pay for these $40, with $2S
/ or his board geo in ally, it will be seen tina
in Louisville he gets one full course of Ice
lures more in the same time, and saves il
fees and travel fully $500. A GREAT ECoNoM
OF TIME, GREAT SAVING OF MONEY, AND TIL
GAINING OF ONE ENTIRE COURSE OF LECTURES
Indeed, it is evident from the facts and figure
afforded to the public in these catalogues. tina

NO OTHER MEDICAL COLLEGE, CAN "A STUDENT
