Medical Department.

THE NEXT ANNUAL COURSE OF LECTURES

WILL COMMENCE

THE LAST THURSDAY, BEING THE TWENTY-EIGHTH OF FEBRUARY, AND WILL BE CONTINUED UNTIL WEDNESDAY, JUNE FIFTH.

The Medical Faculty, in issuing their annual announcement, take pleasure in presenting to the members of the Medical Profession, their thanks for the continued favor and patronage they have extended to this Institution, and their donations to the Museum and Cabinet.

The new Medical College-Building has commodious Lecture Rooms, and is supplied with all the improvements of the day, and is well calculated to promote the comforts and convenience of the occupants. It is situated on the South side of" College Green," and overlooks the town, the lake, and a large extent of surrounding country-in view of the Adirondack mountains in the West, and the Green Mountain chain in the East,-the scenery is unsurpassed in beauty and grandeur by any other locality in the country.

ANATOMY.

The course of instruction in this fundamental branch will be full and practical, and so illustrated by plates, preparations and dissections of the recent subject that students may acquire a thorough knowledge of it. An ample supply of Anatomical material for dissection will be furnished students at cost. Classes will receive the personal attention of the Demonstrator of Anatomy without any additional fee.

PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF MEDICINE AND MATERIA MEDICA.

It is the aim of the Professor of these branches to present a faithful view of the actual state of practical medicine, to dwell upon the important art of physical diagnosis, and by the aid of plates, models, wet and dry preparations, convey correct notions of the morbid changes, occurring in different diseases.

To consider the Modus Operandi of medicines, and discuss their mechanical, chemical and vital modes of action, exhibit specimens of nearly all the medicinal substances recognized by the United States Pharmacopoeia and give a succinct account of their physical and chemical properties, preparation, adulteration, dose and mode of administration, and their physiological and therapeutic action.

SURGERY.

The Department of Surgery is abundantly supplied with specimens, plates and casts in morbid Anatomy, with surgical instruments, splints, and modern surgical appliances, to enable the Professor to illustrate the principles and practice of this branch. All important operations will be performed upon the cadaver in the presence of the class, and particular attention will be paid to the application of splints, use of instruments, surgical apparatus and dressings.

OBSTETRICS AND DISEASES OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN.

In this department the Professor will not consume the time and weary the attention of students with minute Anatomical descriptions; he will refer them to the Lectures on Anatomy, recapitulating only what is necessary to explain subjects to be discussed by him. He will be able, by the aid of the manikin, plates and models, to demonstrate the mechanism of labor (the basis of successful and scientific midwifery practice) with such accuracy that no student is excusable who fails to master it properly. The diseases of females will receive particular attention, and every effort will be made to indoctrinate students in this branch of practice.

PHYSIOLOGY AND PATHOLOGY.

It will be the aim of the Professor, in this department, to give a course of as complete and scientific instruction, by means of experiments, microscopical illustrations, and plates, as the present state of Medical science demands, and modern methods of research will allow. Although we hold that the highest triumphs of Physiology are the prevention and cure of disease, yet zeal in its precaution and interest in its teachings can only be aroused by demonstrations and experiments on living animals.

CHEMISTRY AND PHARMACY.

In the department of Chemistry and Pharmacy, there will be an extended course of Lectures, accompanied with full demonstrations and experiments. It will be the object of the Professor, in this department, to make it as full and as perfectly adapted to the wants of the Medical student as possible. Spe

cial attention will be given to Toxicology-to Incompatibles-to tests and analyses of Urines, and in general to Physiological Chemistry.

The apparatus of the Chemical Department is, it is believed, second to none in fullness and capacity of illustration. Students wishing to acquire a practical knowledge of the methods and Analysis and of the principles of General Chemistry, will be accommodated in the laboratory, under the direction of the Chemical Professor.

CONDITIONS OF MEMBERSHIP.

At the commencement of the Session, every Student is required to enter his name and place of residence, and the name and place of residence of his Preceptor, in the Secretary's book, and take the Matriculation Ticket, and Dean's Certificate entitling him to the Tickets of each Professor.
