ANNUAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

The board of trustees of the New York Homœopathic Medical College take pleasure in announcing to the profession the completion of arrangements, whereby one of the most elegant and commodious edifices in the city of New York (combining the New York Ophthalmic Hospital and College) will be ready for the reception of students by the beginning of the coming session. The building (a cut of which can be seen on the cover of this announcement) is five stories high, of a highly ornamental style of architecture, has a front of fifty feet on Third avenue, and a depth of one hundred feet upon Twenty-third street, and will cost, when completed, one hundred and forty thousand dollars. The appointments will be complete in every respect. The lecture-rooms have been so arranged with reference to sound and light that every student can, with facility, hear the lecturer distinctly, and witness any demonstrations or experiments which may be performed. In addition to the usual faculty-rooms, museum and dissecting-rooms, the surgical wards are placed adjacent to the ampitheatre, in order that patients operated upon before the class, can be moved immediately to their beds in the hospital, to receive the proper attention and after-treatment; thus giving the student opportunity to witness the medical management of surgical diseases, by far the more important consideration to those professing homœopathy.

The college dispensary, which receives appropriations from the city and State, is in full and successful operation, affording the professor of clinical medicine an abundance of material for his lectures: and members of the class are allowed to assist in the dispensary service.

The New York Ophthalmic Hospital, showing, perhaps, a greater success than any similar institution in the country, the daily clinics averaging from seventy-five to one hundred patients, and which will contain about sixty beds for the accommodation of those under treatment, being under the same roof with the college, will offer superior advantages to the students. During the past session, members of the graduating class, under the direction and supervision of the surgeons of the hospital, were allowed to perform operations on the eye; and one of the most successful of these, for strabismus, was made by a member of the graduating class.

The aural department is also rapidly gaining in favor, and all the newer methods and apparatus for examination and treatment of

this rather neglected branch of surgery will be explained to the student.

In addition to this, the regular course of lectures on ophthalmic and aural surgery, as mentioned elsewhere in this announcement, will be given by the surgeons of this charity to the classes of the college without extra charge.

Clinical Instruction.

Fully aware of the importance of clinical instruction, the effort will be made to hold one or more clinics every day in the week; two in surgery, three in medicine, one in obstetrics and diseases of children.

Besides the usual facilities of the dissecting-room, and practical demonstrations in anatomy, both regional and surgical, there will be lectures delivered upon the duties of assistants, and upon bandaging, and other points in minor surgery.

Museum.

A very large addition has been made to the museum from many and varied sources, and the microscopic department now has in its armamentarium a fine collection of preparations and objectives. The student will receive lessons in the use of this now indispensable instrument from the professor of histology, who is thoroughly experienced in this branch of science.

For information on any subject connected with the business affairs of the college, address the registrar.

As an extraordinary inducement to students, to attend the graded course, in accordance with the suggestion of the American Institute of Homœopathy, the faculty have adopted the following curriculum of study, which is earnestly recommended to students, but is not considered obligatory upon them.

First Year.-Anatomy, physiology, institutes, histology, chemistry and dissections. Fee, sixty dollars.

Second Year.*-Review the studies of the first year, and attend the lectures on surgery, practice of medicine, obstetrics and materia medica. Fee, one hundred dollars.

NINTH ANNUAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

The ninth year of the Medical College and Hospital for Women, opens under most favorable auspices. In 1869, extensive additions. to the building were made, consisting of an anatomical room, with a gallery above, and two large rooms for additional hospital wards. The dispensary was remodelled, and is now well lighted and well arranged. Three thousand dollars were appropriated for the purchase of apparatus for the surgical and chemical departments, and for additions to the museum and library. The members of the faculty cordially coöperate with the trustees in their efforts to make this institution one which shall be worthy of the great metropolis which has thus far so generously aided it.

The dispensary attached to the college is open daily for the treatment of patients, and students are thus afforded the opportunity of constantly observing and treating cases under the supervision of the clinical professor.

The hospital in the college building affords every facility for the study of obstetrical cases, and of chronic as well as acute diseases of women and children. Without this actual observation at the bedside of the patient, the study of disease, from books, would be of comparatively little value.

The large hospitals and dispensaries of the city are also open to the students of this college, as well as the lectures of the faculty.

The true physician, not less than the true pastor, is the agent of God, is received into the family on a footing accorded to no other, intrusted with the most sacred confidences of mother, wife, and daughter, and therefore the moral requirements of the medical profession should be higher than those of any other. During the seven years that lectures and demonstrations have been given in the University of Zurich before mixed clinics, there have been none of the unseemly and unmanly proceedings that have disgraced some American medical colleges; on the contrary the dean reports that the presence of women has improved the discipline of the school.

Some of the medical colleges in our western States have wisely
