On the lat of Ootober nest, two new departments, closely allied to the medical department of the University, will oommeuco a career whioh all friends of advancement can but wish will be a prosperous one. One at least has had a long struggle with its enemies for even a foothold, and it has at last attaiued one only through deterniined persistente. As is already well known, the Legislaturo at itt last session, appropriated funds for the support of a Homeopathie Medical School and a Dental School. The Eegents with promptness at a succeeding meeting ordered these departments put iuto operation, and set about providing the necessary buildings, auxiliaries, and instructora. Both schools will open simultaneously with the oíd medical department and a large portion of the work of the three will be the same and will be purBued in coininon, all enjoying equal facilities. The first annual announcement of these new departments have just appeared, and to represent them faithfully we have summarized their contents and given the result below. The Homeopathie School. The terms of admission here will be the same as for the other branch of medicine, and the examinations will be held at the same lime. Women will be adinitted on the same terms that men are, but will have separate lectures, except on general chemistry, separate dissecting rooms, etc. Students in this college will receive instruction in materia medica and therapeutics from Prof. Jones, and in theory and practice of medicine from Prof. Morgan. To gain instruction in general chemistry, anatoiny, organic and appliedchemi8try, physiology, ophthalmology, otology and practical anatomy, surgery, obstetrics and diseases of women and children, they wili altend the tures on those subjects in the department of medicine and surgery. Then follows a oomplete description of the chemical laboratory and the advantages it possesses for a student in medicine. E very candidato for the degree of M. D. is required to pursue the study of practical medical cheinistry in the laboratory, until he has coinpleted a course of from twelve to fifteen weeks.

ADVANTAGES OF CONNECTION WITH THE UNIVERSITY. The advantages of this connection are detailed at some length, and the various departments of chemistry, mater medica and therapeutics, anatomy physiology, surgery, etc, are fully described. Chemistry will aid the student in understanding the importan part chemical agents play in the diseases of the dental apparatus. He will attend lectures on organic and inorganic chemistry, besides which he will enjoy the advantages of the chemical laboratory, for the practical study of al those agents or secretions that concern bis future needs in the prevention anc cure of disea8e. Special instruction will be given in the anatomy and histology of all that pertains to the ora apparatus to give the student through acquaintance with the región of his fu ture professional practice. The denta student will be greatly benefiied by the lecturea on obstétrica and allied sub jects, 8ince the conditions of maternity and the provisions tberefor so often disturb the system. In short, the advan tages offered by a fully equipped medical college are of auch iniportaace tha the attendance upon at least one enter course of medical lectuies is regardee na the proper foundation for the subse quent study of this specialty.
