KNNOUNCeMGNT.

The Chicago School of Dermatology, incorporatedunder the laws of the State of Illinois, was organized witha view to giving special clinical instruction in Skin, Genito-urinary, Renal and Rectal diseases, to such practitioners asdesire to further perfect theirknowledge of these branches.

At this age every general practitioner recognizes thenecessity or advantage of post-graduate instruction and ithas thereforebecome the custom with many to spend theirvacation in some of the large cities visiting the hospitalsand dispensaries. Realizing that every general practitionerwho lias been busy and overworked for any length of timenaturally inclines to give preference for, or special study tosome particular branch or department of medicine, and froman increasing demand on them for special teaching, in theway of private classes, etc., the founders of this institutionhave been induced to endeavor to meet this demand byestablishing the Chicago School of Dermatology. Withthe present and constantly increasing population of this cityit should no longer be necessary, for the purpose of receiv-ing these special clinical advantages, to visit European insti-tutions.

It will therefore be the constant aim of the faculty tofurnish everything in the way of clinical advantages andspecial instruction in these branches that can be obtainedin Vienna, Berlin, Paris, or any of the other great cities.

4 CHICAGO SCHOOL, OP DERMATOLOGY,

COLLEGE BUILDING.The college building is desirably located at 605 W.

Van Buren street and is therefore best reached by the VanBuren line of street cars. It is being equipped with every-thing in the way of instruments, surgical appliances, micro-scopes, electrical apparatus, etc., thatmay be found necessaryor useful in such an institution.

THE DISPENSARYwill be open daily from 2 to 4 p.m., when the class willhave an opportunity of examining and treating patients,and making all the minor operations under the personalsupervision and instruction of the professor of each depart-ment.

PLHN OF INSTRUCTION.It is designed that the instruction shall be as nearly

practical and clinical as possible. As there are, however,certain rudiments essential to the intelligent and thoroughknowledge of any science, the course will be so arrangedthat those in need of such instruction will receive it.

DERMATOLOGY AND GENITO-URINARY SURGERY.

Prof. Henry J. Reynolds will endeavor to illustrate withclinical material and a large number of life-sized charts, allthe various forms of skin disease liable to be met with in thisor any other country; to exhibit under the microscope thevarious parasites capable of producing skin disease, andwill illustrate the use of electricity in the permanent re-moval of superfluous hairs, and in the only successfulmethod

ANNOUNCEMENT. 5

for producing local anasthesia of the skin. He will givedidactic and clinical instruction in the various methods oftreating stricture of the urethra—including electrolysis—-and in the various manipulations and operations necessaryin the treatment of stone in the bladder, etc.

RENAL AND VENERAE DISEASES.Prof. Arthur R. Reynolds will give clinical instruction,

and didactic as far as necessary, in the diagnosis, progno-sis and treatment of the various Renal and Veneral diseases,with the latest views of the most eminent authorities onthese subjects, in this and foreign countries.

ANATOMY AND DISEASES OF THE RECTUM.Prof. Bogue will give clinical and didactic instruction

on the diseases of this specialty, including haemorrhoids,ulceration, stricture and cancer of the rectum, etc., which scfrequently complicate genito-urinary and skin affections, andwill give each member of the class an opportunity to person-ally familiarize himself with the use of the various instru-ments and appliances necessary in their treatment. He willalso, assisted by Dr. Wiggin, give such instruction inanatomy as will be necessary for a proper understanding ofall the subjects taught in the school.

THERAPEUTICS.Prof. Silva’s course will be confined exclusively to the

therapeutics appertaining to the various branches taught inthe school, with special attention to electro-therapeutics.

PHYSIOLOGY, HISTOLOGY AND MICROSCOPY.

Prof. Benson will briefly discuss the physiologicalfunctions and the normal and pathological histology of theskin and other organs embraced in the subjects taught, andwill give such instruction in the use of the microscope andthe preparing of specimens as may be deemed necessary forthe proper understanding of these specialties.

6 CHICAGO SCHOOL OP DpRMATOPOGY.

THE COURSE.Commencing on Tuesday July 5, 1887, and the first

Tuesday ofeach month thereafteruntil further noticeis given,each course will continue daily except legal holidays, forfour weeks.

As the clinical material forms largely the subjects forstudy each day, so the course of one month must naturallyvary somewhat from that of another, and while everythingwill be comprehended as far as practicable in one course,it is the advice of the faculty that two or more sessions beattended by those who have the time at their disposal.

REQUIREMENTS FOR GRKDUTTTION.Before receiving the diploma of the school the candidate

must present satisfactory evidence of the following qualifi-cations:

1. Good moral character.2. Graduation from a reputable medical college.3. Attendance on one full course of lectures in this

course on any one of the branches taught in this school andreceive an appropriate certificate therefor, upon paymentof ten dollars; or they may attend the complete course onthe same basis as practitioners but will not be granted thediploma of the school until after receiving the title of Doctorof Medicine.

THE HOSPITAL FOR SKIN, GGNITO-URI-NARY AND RENAL DISEASES.

To supply the great and increasing demand in this classof special cases for better facilities for giving more systematictreatment and care than can possibly be given in boardinghouses, hotels and most private residences, and with a viewto the best interests of those attending the Chicago Schoolof Dermatology a hospital has been established for the ac-commodation of this class of patients. This departurewill be found a particularly desirable one by patients sentfrom a distance to remain in the city while receiving treat-ment for these diseases. The upper portion of the collegebuilding, which is located in a very healthy part of thecity, is being neatly furnished, equipped and fitted up forthis purpose, and consists of wards, single rooms for privatepatients, baths, etc. It will also contain a department forDiseases of the Rectum. It will therefore be used ex-clusively for patients afflicted with skin, genito-urinary,Rectal and Renal diseases: each department of which will

8 ANNOUNCEMENT.

be under the personal supervision of the professor of thecorresponding chair.

,

Such diseases as may be of an infectious characterwill be treated in a ward set apart for that purpose, to avoidall possibility of contagion, but no eruptive contagious fevercases will be received.

The management will be so conducted that the patientsin each department shall be cared for in the most systematicand scientific manner. For instance, skin cases requiringsuch, will have medicated, electric and other baths at theircommand, may have inunctions properly applied, etc.Patients afflicted with diabetes may have the anti-diabeticdiet treatment systematically carried out, etc.

Doctors taking the courses at the School of Dermatologyare permitted and expected, when necessary, to assist in alloperations and the general management of patients in thishospital when there is no objection on the part of the patient.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.Physicians desiring to have patients treated in the

hospital for Skin, Genito-Urinary and Renal diseases shouldaddress all communications to the Physician and Surgeonin charge, Henry J. Reynolds, M.D., 163 StateSt., Chicago.

All communications relative to the Chicago School ofDermatology should be addressed to the Secretary,

OptyttyalmK <?olle<£e.A CLINICAL SCHOOL OF

Ophthalmology, Otology and Laryngology, for Graduates in Medicine.607 W. VAN BUREN STREET.

This institution was incorporated under the laws of the State ofIllinois, March 19th, 1886.

Its founders aimed to supply the wants of physicians who desired to in-crease their knowledge of eye, ear, throat and chest diseases. To this end asuitable building, near the clinical center of the city, was secured and ahospital and dispensary established, At the outset, the building was•considered amply large to meet all requirements for several years, but thesuccess, attained the first year, demonstrated the fallacy of this idea, and•one much larger and better adapted for the purpose is now occupied by theCollege and Hospital.

Few medical students before receiving their degree feel the importance,or have the opportunity of studying the specialties included in the curriculumof this College. Yet, after graduating in medicine, those who have not hadpersonal clinical instruction in these branches find their deficiency in this re-spect a great detriment to their success as practitioners. While it is unnecess-ary for them to pay special attention to diseases of the eye, ear, nose andthroat, it is a duty they owe to themselves and their patients, to be able to■diagnose and properly treat all of the most common diseases peculiar to theseorgans.

A course of four weeks, at this college, enables each physician in attend-ance to witness all of the ordinary operations on the eye, ear, nose and throat.He will also receive personal drill in the use of instruments, employed in thediagnosis and treatment of all the diseases of these organs, with which he islikely to meet in practice.

Daily practice isgiven in the use of the ophthalmoscope and othernecessaryinstruments, and in the correction of refractive errors.

The hospital and dispensary furnish abundant clinical material for dem-onstration.
