CIRCULAR 
The Medical Faculty of the University of the State of Missouri 
respectfully present to its Alumni, and to the Profession in general, 
this, their eleventh annual Announcement; with the view of enabling 
them to judge of its existing condition and future prospects. 
At no preceding period in its history have there been more sure evi- 
dences of its prosperity and usefulness than exists at the present time. 
Whatever in the past there may have been of doubt or difficulty—- 
however indifferent the public mind may have been to its success and 
final triumph,—the time has at length arrived, when, with proud sat- 
isfaction, its Faculty can contemplate the results of their patient and 
persevering efforts in the complete establishment of a jnedical insti- 
tution which will prove to be all that its friends could desire. 
Notwithstanding there have been causes operating for the past two 
years throughout the West, by which the number of medical students 
attending our colleges have been greatly diminished, still this institu- 
tion has maintained a steady increase in the size of its classes; and 
whilst such increase affords proof of the prosperity of the College, it 
also becomes a subject of congratulation that it should already have 
so far secured the favor of the Profession, as to have ranked with some 
of the older institutions in our country. 
Gratifying as may be these results, the Faculty cannot but regard 
the present condition of the College as an earnest only of its future 
advancement; for, with increased and improved facilities for medical 
instruction, as wrell as a more extended and better directed public 
influence, they confidently look forward to the time when, through 
the persevering labors of the Faculty of this institution, St. Louis 
shall become the great centre of attraction to the medical students 
of the Mississippi valley. 
To our medical friends, as also to medical students, we now pre- 
sent the actual advantages possessed by the Medical Department of 
the State University. 6 
COLLEGE EDIFICE 
For some time past the Faculty have experienced great inconve- 
niences for the want of ample space in the old building, as well as the 
absence in some of the rooms of proper fixtures—such as are neces- 
sary for demonstrations and experiments. From time to time im- 
provements have been made to suit existing circumstances, hut owing 
to the increase of the class, these have been found insufficient for the 
comfort of the student, whilst they have embarrassed the lecturer in 
the demonstrative part of his course. 
The Faculty are pleased in being able to announce to those who 
may resort to the institution, that in the building now finished, 
ample accommodations will be afforded to all, and every convenience 
has been added that can facilitate the course of instruction, or sub- 
serve the interests of the student in the prosecution of his studies. 
This spacious and commodious edifice is situated on an elevated 
site, near the junction of Eighth street and Gratiot avenue. 
It consists of a main building, the walls of which are of solid stone 
masonry, octagonal in shape, presenting a diameter of seventy-five 
feet, and a height of one hundred and ten feet. 
The style of the octagon is Gothic, and it is divided into three sto- 
ries. The first floor is designed for a Dispensary, where the poor of 
the city can come and be prescribed for, and where all necessary sur- 
gical operations will be performed gratuitously. The second floor is 
occupied as a Faculty Room, and as a Library. The great Anatomi- 
cal Amphitheatre occupies the third story, and it is one of the best 
arranged and most magnificent of lecture rooms in the United States. 
Its diameter is seventy feet, and its height to the dome fifty-two feet. 
The seats are arranged in circular form, above which is a spacious 
gallery, where anatomical specimens, paintings, &c., are systematic- 
ally arranged; the whole is lighted by six large gothic windows over- 
looking the seats, whilst from the dome the light is thrown directly 
upon the operating table through eight large sky-lights. 
The brick building attached to the octagon is ninety feet in length 
and seventy-five feet in diameter; presenting a front, as attached to 
the main building on Eighth street, of one hundred and sixty-five 
feet. Like the octagon, it is divided into three stories, with an attic. 7 
The first floor is occupied as a chemical lecture room; being seventy- 
five feet by fifty-five, in dimensions. The second floor is used as a 
common lecture room, of similar dimensions with the first, whilst 
the third story is wholly occupied as a museum, in which is placed 
one of the most varied and beautiful cabinets of natural history found 
in the Yalley of the Mississippi, beside a most valuable and rare col. 
lection of anatomical specimens, both wet and dry. In the fourth 
story is the common dissecting room, ninety feet by forty, where 
every convenience is found for the successful study of practical 
anatomy. 
With a knowledge (on the part of some of the members of our 
Faculty) derived from the experience of many years in relation to 
college buildings, wTe may safely add, in reference to the edifice just 
completed, that it combines in its arrangements and finish every 
thing necessary to facilitate the labor of teaching, and at the same 
time it affords to the student such conveniences as are indispensable 
to his comfort and profit. 
INSTRUCTION. 
Since the issue of the last circular of the University, the Faculty 
have elected Abner Hopton, M. D., to the Chair of Chemistry and 
Pharmacy, made vacant by the resignation of Professor Edward H. 
Leffingwell, of the Missouri University. 
Owing to Professor Leffingwell’s relations with the Literary De- 
partment of the University at Columbia, where he was obliged to 
remain during the greater part of the year, he early last spring signi- 
fied his intention of resigning the Chair of Chemistry and Pharmacy, 
as he could not deliver other than an imperfect course of lectures to 
our classes should he remain connected with the school. The Faculty 
regretted the necessity that led to this step, as in Professor Leffing- 
well they had ever found the characteristics of a faithful and success- 
ful teacher, united with the refined and social qualities of a gentleman 
and friend. We wish him all success in his present connexion with 
the University, and though no longer of our Faculty, he is neverthe- 
less united with us in the common object of laboring for the advance- 
ment of the interests and ultimate success of our common parent, the 
State University. The successor to the Chair vacated hy Professor Leffikgwell comes 
to us with high testimonials of qualification for the performance of 
the duties incident to the department to which he has been elected. 
For many years Professor Hopton was a successful teacher of Chem- 
istry in South Carolina; but more recently be has been engaged in the 
Medical College at Memphis, Tennessee, as Professor of Chemistry 
and Pharmacy. We believe this appointment a very judicious one 
on the part of the Curators of the University; for whilst it gives 
strength to our Faculty, it will also insure to the student facilities for 
acquiring a practical knowledge in this interesting branch of the medi- 
cal science. 
The Chair of Obstetrics, and of the Diseases of Women and Chil- 
dren, made vacant by the death of our lamented colleague, Dr. Thomas 
Barbour, has not yet been filled. The Faculty have been and are 
now in correspondence with several applicants for the above vacancy; 
they cannot, however, (from motives of a private nature,) proceed to 
an election of a person to fill this Chair until the second Monday in 
August, when, with the concurrence of the Curators of the University, 
they will supply this vacancy, and once more present a full, and, they 
believe, a strong organization for the purposes of Medical instruction. 
GENERAL SYNOPSIS OF LECTURES. 
ANATOMY. 
Joseph n. McDowell, m. d. 
The Professor in this Department comprises, in his coarse of Lec- 
tures, a demonstration and description of the entire structure of the 
human body. 
JOHN HODGEN, M. D., Adjunct Professor, 
He has, for illustration, a Museum of Wet and Dry Preparations, 
(the labor of twenty years,) which is, every way, the most ample, and 
surpassed by none in the West. His great object is, to afford the 
student an accurate knowledge of the Topographical Anatomy of those 
parts of the body upon which operations can'be performed, and to 
make him, thereby, master of the knife in Operative Surgery. 9 
That the student may also be grounded in the proper appreciation 
of Surgical Diseases, the Adjunct Professor will demonstrate, by 
drawings, the peculiarities in organization, in vascularity, and nervous 
distribution of the various tissues of the body. 
Through the whole course in this Department, endeavors will be 
made, whether from lectures or demonstrations, to simplify and ren- 
der practical the instruction imparted to the pupil. 
PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF MEDICINE. 
This branch of Medical Science the Professor presents under the 
following four divisions;— 
JOHN S. MOORE, M.D. 
1. A consideration of some of the more important Physiological 
and Pathological principles, as embracing the subjects of life and 
death, sympathy, the pulse, and inflammations. 
2. The subject of Fever, Essential and Symptomatic. In this part 
of the course (Miasmatic Fevers,) the endemics of the Mississippi 
Valley will receive special and minute attention. 
3. The Phlegmasia, or local inflammations; also, the functional 
derangements of the more important organs. 
4. The Neuroses, or Nervous Diseases, are considered. 
In noticing the diseases which come under the three last divisions, 
the attention of the student will be directed mainly to their Nosology, 
Etiology, Symptomalogy, Diagnosis, Prognosis, and Treatment. 
PHYSIOLOGY AND MATERIA MEDICA. 
RICHARD BARRET, M. D. 
The following order is pursued in the course of lectures given in 
this Department: 
1. The Consideration of the two great classes of bodies—Organic 
and Inorganic. 
2. The four classes of Animals, and their leading Physiological 
differences. 
3. The Structure of the Human Body, its Tissues and Vital Properties 
—Sensibility, Contractility, and the Nutritive and Formative Power. 
4. Organic Attraction and Affinity, Animal Excitability, Reaction, 
Vital Stimuli, and Irritants. 10 
5. The Functions of Man—Vital, Sensorial, and Nutritive,— Vital: 
Respiration, Circulation, Innervation ; Sensorial: Sensations, Intel- 
lectual Operations, and Voluntary Motion; Nutritive: Digestion, 
Absorption, Secretion, Reproduction. 
In the lectures upon Organic Attraction, Animal Excitability, Re- 
action, &c., as embraced under the fourth division of the Physiolo- 
gical course, Materia Medica will be introduced—the modus operandi 
of Medicines considered. When upon the Sensorial Functions, those 
classes of Therapeutic agents which produce their effects chiefly 
through the cerebro-spinal system—as Narcotics, Anti-Spasmodics, 
Stimulants, Tonics, &c.—will be presented. So, also, in lecturing 
upon Digestion—the functions of the Alimentary Canal, and other 
collateral organs—Emetics, Cathartics, Anthelmintics, &c., will be 
minutely noticed. The same order, also, will be observed in the 
Physiological consideration of Secretion and Reproduction. Under 
the former, will be presented the classes of Diaphoretics, Expecto- 
rants, Diuretics, &c.; and in the latter, Emenagogues and Parturi- 
ents—thus connecting, as will be seen, Physiology and Materia 
Medica in the most natural, easy, and interesting manner. 
OBSTETRICS, AND DISEASES OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN. 
The course of instruction in this department is practical, compre- 
hensive, and demonstrative. The Professor considers— 
1. The Anatomy of all the parts concerned in the great processes 
of Reproduction and Parturition. 
2, Menstruation and Disorders of Menstruation. 
3. Generation. 
4. Pregnancy—its Symptoms, Signs, and Diseases 
5. Parturition, including 1. Natural Labor: its stages, phenome- 
na, mechanism, and management; 2. Difficult Labor: including Lin- 
gering and Instrumental Labor—their causes, means of diagnosis, and 
best modes of accomplishing delivery—(use of instruments exhibited) ; 
3. Preternatural Labor: diagnosis and management; 4. Complicated 
Labor: puerperal convulsions and uterine hemorrhage particularly 
dwelt upon. 
6. The most important Diseases of Females, 
7. The Management of the New-born Infant. 
8. The Principal Diseases incident to Childhood. PATHOLOGY AND CLINICAL MEDICINE. 
JOHN B. JOHNSON, M. D. 
The subjects connected with these important branches of Medical Sci- 
ence, are presented to the class in the following order of arrangement: 
The Consideration of the General Laws of Formation, and those 
relating to Healthy Organizations; 
Description of Individual Organic Systems; 
The doctrine of Healthy Function as the only true point of depart- 
ure for every pathological cenclusion; 
Abnormal Conditions of the Individual Organic Systems, as em- 
braced under— 
Lesions of Circulation, 
Lesions of Nutrition, 
Lesions of Secretion, and 
Lesions of Innervation; 
after which, the principles deduced from the consideration of the 
above subjects will be applied to Special Pathology, or the analysis 
of individual disease. That a full and comprehensive view of the 
more important maladies may be presented, Andral’s classification 
will be adopted; though, during the course of Clinical Instruction, 
such diseases as may come under observation will receive especial 
attention, without reference to such systematic arrangement. 
For the more complete illustration of the various organic lesions, 
every effort is made, by preparations and drawings, to convey a lively 
and correct impression of the condition of parts to the mind of the 
student. Morbid post mortem appearances, in recent specimens, form 
very important means of Pathological Instruction in this department. 
Clinical Instruction will also constitute an important object of 
attention, for which the City Hospital will furnish ample means. 
Here the student will have an opportunity of examining disease in its 
various forms and stages—of marking its progress and termination, 
and the effect of therapeutic agents. His attention will be particu- 
larly called to the exploration of the body, for the physical signs of 
disease, by palpation, auscultation, and percussion. 
PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF SURGERY AND CLINICAL SURGERY. 
Joseph n. McDowell, m. d. 
In this department, the operations upon the body, instead of follow- 
ing each other in routine, which is sometimes tedious to the student, are intermixed with the anatomical demonstrations of parts concerned 
in operations—all the new operations are particularly shown. 
The Lectures on the Principles of Surgery and Clinical Surgery, 
continue four and a half months, during which time the students visit 
the surgical patients at the Hospital, and attend all the operations. 
In the Clinical Lectures, each case is spoken of that is admitted into 
the Surgical Department of the Hospital—the disease described—the 
diagnosis and prognosis given, with the mode of treatment; also, all 
surgical operations which are performed are described, with such 
remarks as to the mode of performing them, as are thought likely to 
he useful and instructive to the students. 
A collection of plates, and of plaster models, to represent various 
surgical diseases, is about to be introduced into this Department. 
CHEMISTRY AND PHARMACY. 
ABNER HOPTON, M. D. 
The earlier portions of the course in this Department will be de- 
voted to Chemical Nomenclature, Symbols, and Formulae; after which, 
the imponderable agents will receive a due share of attention. 
The more important of the elementary bodies, and of the various 
compounds employed in medicine, will then be considered; and the 
course will terminate with an account of Organic, or Vegetable and 
Animal Chemistry. 
Instead of making Toxicology and Pharmacy a distinct portion of 
the course, these subjects will be considered in connection with indi- 
vidual substances. 
The chemical apparatus is now (with the large additions made last 
year) complete—inferior to none in the country; which enables the 
Professor to illustrate the various subjects with all the requisite ex- 
periments. 
PRACTICAL ANATOMY. 
The Dissecting Rooms are under the charge of the Professor and 
Adjunct Professor of Anatomy. 
Nothing is wanting to the Medical Student, either in the supply of 
material for dissection, or in attention on the part of the Demonstra- 
tor, in enabling him to prosecute his labors with full advantage. 13 
During the past season, the supply of subjects was even more than 
sufficient • and, consequently, they are afforded to the class at a more 
moderate charge than in most of the schools of our country. 
Students arrange themselves into classes of from four to eight per- 
sons ; and they are numbered in the order in which their names are 
presented to the Demonstrator—the class first formed being entitled 
to the first subject, and so on, until all of the classes are supplied. 
Every student can thus have the opportunity of using the scalpel to 
the full extent of his wishes. 
The Adjunct Professor of Anatomy will be in constant attendance, 
to give instruction as to the manner of Dissection, and to explain to 
the class Relative and Special Anatomy. 
Whenever an important organ is to be demonstrated—as the Brain, 
Heart, Liver, &c.—notice is previously given to the whole class. 
These demonstrations are usually conducted in the Amphitheatre, as 
by this arrangement each student is made acquainted not only with 
the parts he himself has traced out, but also with those which he has 
not, as yet, attempted to dissect. 
The City Hospital, during the whole year, is under the control of 
some one of the Faculty, either in attendance upon the Surgical or 
Medical Department. There, every variety of Surgical and Medical 
disease is seen, examined, and prescribed for; and those requiring 
Surgical aid, are operated upon in the presence of the class. 
HOSPITAL INSTRUCTION. 
Connected with the Hospital is a Lecture Room, where, after each 
visit, some one or more of the important diseases in the wards are 
considered—their history, symptoms, and mode of treatment, dwelt 
upon, whilst much of valuable pathological instruction is derived 
from the morbid post mortem appearances, which, from time to time, 
are there exhibited. 
Clinical Lectures are here delivered, daily, by the Professor of Sur- 
gery, or of Clinical Medicine, from the Ist of October to the commence- 
ment of the course—after which, regular visits are made by the whole 
class to the close of the term. 
Students are admitted to this institution free of charge during the 
lecture term as well as in vacation; where we invite all who desire, 
whether Students or Physicians, to attend. 
Dr. Joseph N. McDowell, during the past year, received the ap- pointment by the President of the United States of the post of Phy- 
sician and Surgeon to the Marine Hospital; said appointment to take 
effect so soon as the Hospital should be completed. 
The building is now in progress of erection, and soon our hospital 
advantages will be more than ample, and if properly appreciated by 
the student, they cannot fail to afford him an extensive field for ob- 
servation, and for participating in the active exercise of his profession. 
Close and rigid daily examinations are instituted of the subjects of 
the preceding lecture, in each department; as the Faculty believe, 
from their own observation, (as, also, from the testimony of their 
pupils,) that it is a most effectual mode of impressing on the memory 
of the student the more important principles and facts developed in 
their respective courses. 
EXAMINATIONS, 
REGULATIONS FOR THE TERMS OF LECTURES, 
REQUISITES FOR GRADUATION. 
For the promotion of the cause of Medical Education, as well as 
for the usefulness of the Institution, the Faculty have determined that 
the regular session shall commence two weeks earlier than heretofore; 
and, consequently, the ensuing Course of Lectures will begin on the 
16th day of October, at which time it is to be hoped most, if not all, 
of the class, will be assembled. 
From the Ist of October the Anatomical Rooms will be opened, 
and the Professor of Anatomy and the Demonstrator will give their 
personal attention thereto; Clinical instruction will also be given at 
the Hospital. 
It is required of the Candidate for the Degree of Doctor of Medicine— 
2, That he shall have attended two full courses of Lectures in some 
respectable Medical School, one of which shall have been in this 
College; and he must exhibit his tickets, or other adequate evidence 
thereof, to the Dean of the Faculty. 
1. That he be of lawful age, and of good moral character. 
3. The Candidate must have studied Medicine for not less than 
three years, (the terms of attending Lectures being included in these) 
under the direction of a respectable medical practitioner. 19
