ANNOUNCEMENT.

THE next session of the Jefferson Medical College will commence on the second Monday, being the eighth day of October, with a general introductory lecture by one of the Professors. The regular lectures will begin the day after. The session will terminate on the last day of February. Opportunities will be afforded for the prosecu-tion of Practical Anatomy from the commencement of October. The General Dispen-sary of the College, which the students of the College have the exclusive privilege of attending gratuitously, will be in active operation from the commencement of Sep-tember. The College Clinic, connected with this, affords admirable opportunities for the student to learn the practical parts of his profession, and the proper appli-cation of the principles which he is taught from the various chairs. The clinic is richly supplied with medical and surgical cases, and throughout the session it forms a prominent, and, in the estimation of the Faculty, a most important element of the educational course. The patient is examined, prescribed for, and if a sur-gical operation is needed, it is performed before the class. The rationale of every conclusion, and of every prescription is expounded by the clinical professor ; and diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutics are thus intimately investigated and eluci-dated.

The lists of medical and surgical diseases exhibit the great variety of cases brought before the students, and as the patients seek advice at the clinic, they may be re-garded as representatives of the class who apply for assistance—medical and sur-gical—at the office of the practitioner. For certain cases, the Faculty have provided hospital accommodations in a building in immediate connection with the College—thus enabling the surgeons to perform not only the minor but the more serious ope-rations, as lithotomy, amputation, &c., before the class, without risk to the patient.

During the past year, a vast number of medical and surgical cases received treatment. The surgical operations performed amounted to above 300, and included amputation of the leg ; various plastic operations—blepharoplasty and cheiloplasty ; extirpation of the upper jaw and mamma ; lithotomy ; resection of the elbow and knee-joint ; tenotomy ; operations for cataract, spina bifida, and hydrocele ; for the removal of hemorrhoids and tumors of various kinds ; for the ligation of arteries ; for fistula lacrymalis and fistula in ano ; for strabismus and ununited fracture, caries and necrosis, and for dislocations and fractures, &c. &c.

The hours of attendance at the clinic of the College are so arranged as to permit the students to attend, every Wednesday and Saturday, the clinics held at the Penn-sylvania Hospital and the Philadelphia Hospital. The course adopted in those clinics is the same as at the clinic of the college. With so large a class in attendance, it is impracticable to visit the sick from bed to bed ; and hence, on the days named, the patients are brought into the amphitheatre, and there treated and lectured on.

The MUSEUM of the College is amply provided with materials for demonstration, and is well fitted for illustrating the various departments.

4

The number of matriculates, during the last session, was six hundred and thirty—

constituting a larger class than was ever in attendance in the College or in any similar institution in the country—and at no time were the exertions of the Faculty more energetic and unremitting, or their means and appliances for sue cessful teaching more numerous and diversified.

The following is a list of the gentlemen on whom the degree of DOCTOR OF MEDICINE was conferred on the 12th of March last :—

REGULATIONS. The examinations are so arranged as to permit the Commencement for conferring

Degrees to be held as early in March as is practicable. There is likewise an examination of candidates for graduation during the first

week of July. The degrees are conferred on the candidates who are successful at this examination at the annual commencement following.

8

The candidate must be of good moral character, and at least twenty-one years of age.

He must have attended two full courses of lectures in some regular and respect-able Medical school, one of which shall have been in this College, and must exhibit his tickets, or other adequate evidence thereof, to the Dean of the Faculty.

He must have studied medicine for not less than three years, and have attended at least one course of clinical instruction in an institution approved by the Faculty.

He must present to the Dean of the Faculty a thesis of his own composition, cor-rectly written, and in his own handwriting, on some medical subject ; and exhibit to the Faculty, at his examination, satisfactory evidence of his professional attain-ments.

If, after examination for a degree, the candidate, on ballot, shall be found to have received three negative votes, he shall be entitled to a fresh examination. Should he decline this, he may withdraw his thesis, and not be considered as rejected.

The degree will not be conferred upon any candidate, who absents himself from the public commencement, without the special permission of the Faculty.

FEES.

The fee to each member of the Faculty is fifteen dollars, payable in advance, making in the whole 105 dollars.

The matriculation fee is five dollars: —to be paid the first session only. The fee for the diploma is thirty dollars.

BOOKS OF REFERENCE. I. INSTITUTES OF MEDICINE.—Dunglison's Human Physiology.

II. GENERAL, DESCRIPTIVE, AND SURGICAL ANATOMY.—Pancoast's edition of Wistar's Anatomy, or Wilson's Anatomy ; Pancoast's edition of Quain's Anatomical Plates.

III. OBSTETRICS, AND DISEASES OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN.—MeigS'S Obstetrics ; Meigs on Woman, her Diseases and their Remedies ; Meigs on Childbed Fevers; J. F. Meigs on the Diseases of Children.

The price of boarding, and all the personal expenses of the student, are at least as reasonable in Philadelphia as in the other large cities of the Union.

The Faculty would recommend to the parents and guardians of the students to send money to them in bills on some banker, broker, or merchant of Philadelphia, if practicable—if not, of Baltimore or of New York—and not in the form of bank notes. By means of a postal regulation, money can be sent in letters duly regis-tered with more safety than formerly.
