WASHINGTON MEDICAL INSTI-


w TUTE.--The undersigned, proprietors Of
the Institute, having completed arrangements which
have been for sometime in progress, are now ready
to receive students.


This institution is intended to afford instruction
to Medical students, not only by the common mode
Of private pupilage, (by which the precsptor, BY
more imperous calls his attention, is denied time
sufficient to do more than to direct the students in
a course of study, and perhaps to ask few gen.
era questions on each author) but it is designed to
offer the student all those facilities to acquire med
ical education, which are afforded by daiIy yec-
lures and full examinations, and to furnish
all such collateral aids to instruction as illustra
TIoNs by drawings dry and wet anatomical prep
arations, pathological specimens and chemical ex-
periments; also, demonstrations by manual and in-
strumenal operations on the obsetric phanome, and
the application Of surgical apparatus and bandages.
The art Of prescribing and compounding medicines
will be practically taught; and especial care will
be taken TO give the student practical acquain-
tance with the modern mode Of investigation and
diagnosis by ausculaton and percussion, &c.
The course of instruction is intended to equal
the highest standard of medical education in this
county, and every incentive and facility to an ar
dent and persevering cultivation of the pripcPes of
the science will be afforded so as to beget spirit
of inquiry that will not rest satisfied with the acqui.
