fintatraity  of  Coutetanct.
                OF THE

MEDICAL  DEPARTMENT.
   The Lectures for the Session of 1848-'49 will com-
mence  in  this Institution  on  the third  Monday  in
November, and continue four months.  This late period
in autumn is not only the  most convenient for all the
objects  of medical  instruction,  but likewise  inspires
more confidence among strangers to the climate—being
several  weeks  beyond the duration of our occasional
epidemics,  and when  the  mass  of the  unacclimated
return to the city.   The catalogue will demonstate that,
notwithstanding the extraordinary reports in relation to
the unhealthy state  of New Orleans at  that time, the
number and respectability of the class was very flatter-
ing.   We append, likewise,  a list of Graduates, the most
numerous ever published by this School.
   Having adopted and maintained for a series  of years
a  high  standard  of medical education—a course cer-
tainly unfavorable to the collection of numerous classes
—the Faculty rejoice in discovering  that  they  have
been well sustained by their fellow citizens, and by the
majority of educated and intelligent Southern Physicians.
   The continued liberality  of the State Legislature has
provided an ample appropriation for the completion of
the new College edifice, which is again in the hands
of the  contractors  for that   purpose.   In situation,
dimensions, architecture and internal arrangements, this 
(4)
structure  will compare favorably with any building in
this  country, devoted  to  similar objects.   One  great
advantage is its  convenient  proximity to the Charity
Hospital,  where  also  a magnificent amphitheatre  for
lectures and  operations has been lately erected.   The
extensive  basement rooms in the College building will
be immediately finished for a restaurat or eating  house,
where gentlemen will be  provided with  good fare on
more moderate terms  than they have  generally found
in the city boarding houses.
   The Professor  of Anatomy lectures five times a week,
upon general, special and surgical anatomy; for the
illustration of which, besides a large supply of subjects,
he is furnished with  plates, models and preparations of
the greatest  excellence.
   The  department of Practical Anatomy  is entirely
under his control, in which the facilities for prosecuting
the study of  this  branch are unrivalled, as  any number
of subjects for dissection  or the practice of operative
surgery are furnished free  of charge.  To assist him in
this  department  the Professor has  appointed an able
Demonstrator.
   The Professor  of Physiology and  Pathology lectures
four times a week on the functions of  digestion, res-
piration and  circulation  in man, and on the general
principles of  Physiology and Pathology.
   The  Professor  of  the  Theory  and  Practice   of
Medicine lectures every  day  in  the  week.    This
course is devoted exclusively  to the  history,  causes,
pathology, symptoms and treatment of d iseases.  These,
the   teacher being   likewise   professor of Clinical
Medicine, has the  most ample opportunities  for  illus-
trating at the bedside of the patient in the wards and
amphitheatre of  the  Charity Hospital, and  also  when
necessary in the dead-house attached to that  institution.
   The  Professor of Surgery also  lectures every day
during the course, on the principles and practice  of
Surgery,  and  on  Surgical  Anatomy  and   Operative
Surgery.   In practical  surgery, as in medicine,  the
advantages  of this school are preeminent.    We  are 
(5)
satisfied, from  the  best authority and  personal  obser-
vation, that  the Professors of no school in America are
connected  with  and enjoy  the unlimited use  of  an
institution, in which there are so many interestino- cases
requiring surgical and medical  aid, and the use  of the
knife, as are  to be  found in the wards of the New
Orleans  Charity Hospital.   This great receptacle for
thousands of  the afflicted of every climate, supported
bountifully by the contributions  of a State, where there
are no paupers but  strangers,  and attended gratuitously
by  the members of  a  profession,  who  are  the high
priests of philanthropy throughout the civilized  world,
is opened wide to every  aspirant who seeks knowledge
among  its  tenants.   Two  hours  are  allotted  every
morning, from 8 to 10, for following the Professors and
other Physicians around the wards.  On Wednesday and
Saturday the  Professors of Clinical   Medicine and
Surgery give  regular lectures in the wards or amphi-
theatre.
  The  Professor of  Obstetrics  and of the diseases of
women and  children,  lectures four times a week  on the
the principles  and practice of Midwifery, on the  treat-
ment of women in childbed, on the diseases peculiar to
the female sex, and on the management and diseases of
new-born infants.   Having  the control of the female
wards in the  Hospital, and an ample supply of colored
models, plates and instruments for the full illustration of
this course; he has  also  an  opportunity  of  providing
cases of labor  for  the senior members of his class, in
sufficient number to  give them  knowledge and  confi-
dence in  the  practice  of this  important department
of medicine.
  The  Professor of Materia  Medica and Therapeutics
devotes four lectures  a week to the general principles
of Therapeutics, Toxicology and Hygiene, and  to the
Natural History, chemical and medical properties, pre-
paration, and mode  of administering the various articles
of the  Materia  Medica.   He  is provided   with  an
excellent and  rare  collection of specimens, and  every
other facility for the illustration  of  his course. 
( 6)
   The Professor  of  Chemistry lectures  four times a
week.  He has a lecture room capable of containing
700 people, devoted exclusively to his course—extensive
laboratories, a fine'themical and philosophical apparatus,
a  large collection of chemicals and minerals, and, in
fine, every thing that is necessary for a full  experimental
and demonstrative course of chemical lectures.
   The requisites  for graduation  are  those obtaining
among the  highest schools in the country—viz: three
years' study  and  attendance on  two  full courses of
lectures, of'which the last must be in this  school.  Dis-
sections and hospital attendance will not  be dispensed
with.   The candidate,  who must be over 21  years of
age,  is required to  deposit a well written  Medical
Thesis, and the diploma fee, with the Dean, one month
before the close  of the Session.

subjects will please address themselves  to the Dean or Professors,
