OF THE Tulane University of Louisiana Founded in 1834, this is the oldest Medical College in the Southwest and has 4293 graduates and, at the last session, 543 students. The next session, the seventy-fourth, will begin October 21st, 1907, and will close May 20th, 1908. The corps of teachers-Professors, Lecturers, Instructors, Demonstrators, and Chiefs of Clinic number more than sixty. Since October, 1893, the College has occupied a very large and commodious new building, which provides all of the many requisites for modern medical education, including especially ample and well equipped Laboratories for Chemistry; for Pharmacy; for Practical Anatomy; for Microscopical Anatomy, Pathology and Bacteriology, for Operative Surgery and Minor Surgery, and working rooms for Practical Physiology, for Pharmacology, and for Gross Pathological Anatomy. These admirable Laboratories, now added to the unrivalled practical advantages for Clinical, Anatomical and Pathological studies given by the great Charity Hospital, will enable the Medical Department to provide its students with unsurpassed advantages for their medical education. Special attention is called to the superior opportunities given for CLINICAL INSTRCUTION. The Professors of the Medical Department are given, by law, the use of the great Charity Hospital as a school of practical instruction, and medical students are admitted without payment of any hospital fees. The Charity Hospital contains nine hundred beds, the number of indoor patients annually admitted is about ten thousand and the number of visiting or outdoor patients exceeds twenty thousand. Its advantages for practical study, and especially of the diseases of the Southwest and of the negro race, are unequalled by any similar institution in this country. The Medical, Surgical and Obstetrical Wards are visited daily by the respective professors and instructors, and all students are required to attend and to familiarize themselves at the bedside of the patients, with the diagnosis and treatment of all forms of diseases and injuries. The facilities for genuine clinical teaching are unsurpassed by those of any Medical College in the United States. An annex for children, containing two hundred beds, has recently been added. The fees will amount to a total of $140 for each year. The total of the fees for the four courses will amount to about $590. All fees, except the graduation fee of $30, are payable in advance. These fees are as low as are compatible with the superior advantages given. Students and Graduates may select such special branches or partial courses as each may desire. Graduates and Students of this College, who have paid for all courses required, can continue to attend without payment of the professors' fees. Graduates of other reputable Medical Colleges are charged only $70 for the professors' tickets, and are thereafter given the same privileges granted to graduates of this College. The total fees for the two courses required in Pharmacy amount to $155, or about $75 annually. For further information and catalogue, address Prof. S. E. CHAILLÉ, M. D., Dean, P. O. DRAWER, 261.

The value of senna as a laxative is well known to the medical profession but to the physician accustomed to the ordinary senna preparations, the gentle yet efficient action of the pure laxative principles correctly obtained and scientifically combined with a pleasant aromatic syrup of California Figs is a delightful revelation and, in order that the name of the laxative combination may be more fully descriptive of it, we have added to the name Syrup of Figs "and Elixir of Senna," so that its full title now is "Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna.” It is the same pleasant gentle laxative, however, which for many years past physicians have entrusted to domestic use because of its non-irritant and non-debilitating character, its wide range of usefulness and its freedom from every objectionable quality. It is well and generally known that the component parts of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna are as follows: Syrup of California Figs...... .75 Parts Aromatic Elixir of Senna, manufactured by our original Its production satisfied the demand of the profession for an elegant pharmaceutical laxative of agreeable quality and high standard, and it is, therefore, a scientific accomplishment of value, as our method ensures that perfect purity and uniformity of product required by the careful physician. It is a laxative which physicians may sanction for family use because its constituents are known to the profession and the remedy itself proven to be prompt and reliable in its action, acceptable to the taste and never followed by the slightest debilitation. Its Ethical Character. Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is an ethical proprietary remedy and has been mentioned favorably, as a laxative, in the medical literature of the age, by some of the most eminent living authorities. The method of manufacture is known to us only, but we have always informed the profession fully as to its component parts. It is therefore not a secret remedy, and we make no empirical claims for it. The value of senna, as a laxative, is too well known to physicians to call for any special comment, but in this scientific age it is important to get it in its best and most acceptable form and of the choicest quality, which we are enabled to offer in Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, as our facilities and equipment are exceptional and our best efforts devoted to the one purpose.
