MEDICAL SCHOOL OF MAINE.

-00-

This School is under the direction of the Trustees and Overseers of the Col-

lege, and receives from the State One Thousand Dollars a year for the purpose

chiefly of procuring Books, Plates, Preparations, and Apparatus. An extensive and valuable Anatomical Cabinet has been received from Eu- rope since the last course of Lectures, which, it is believed, is equal if not supe- rior to any other in New England. —It contains all the Preparations, which will be found necessary for demonstrations,—with many valuable morbid specimens and a collection in Comparative Anatomy. The Library has also received an accession of several hundred volumes, among which are the most valuable modern works on Medicine and its collateral Scien- ces, selected with much care. —The Library also contains a fine collection of the most approved Plates, embracing the extensive works of Cooper, Bell, Scarpa,

Baillie, Bateman, #c.

The particular management of this Institution is committed to the Faculty of

Medicine, who examine candidates for the Degree of Doctor of Medicine, and re- commend to the corporation of the College for that Degree. In order to obtain it, two courses of Medical Lectures must have been attended, the last of which, at least, must have been at Brunswick; three years must have been devoted to pro-

fessional studies ; and some knowledge of Latin and Experimental Philosophy must have been acquired.

The price of a ticket, admitting to the Lectures of one Professor, is 15 dollars ;

or 45 dollars foi all the Lectures. The course begins about the middle of Feb

ruary and continues three months.
