SECOND YEAR

Anatomy 3.— Eight hours weekly during the second term. This course
is the continuation of Anatomy 1, and consists of the systematic study of
topographic anatomy, with the aid of cross sections of the human body,
special dissections, and wet preparations with a review of the whole body
in relation to the needs of the student in general medicine and surgery. At
the end of this course a practical examination is given, covering the work
of Anatomy 1, 2 and 3. Dr. Bean, Dr. Speidel and Dr. A. M. Smith.

Physiology.— Lectures, recitations, and demonstrations, six hours weekly
during the first term, five hours during the second term, two hours during
the third term; laboratory work, six hours weekly during the first term,
two hours weekly during the second term. The physiology of muscle and
nerve; blood and lymph; the circulation; respiration, secretion; digestion;
nutrition and the central nervous system. The work of the laboratory closely
follows the lectures as an integral part of the study of each subject.
Open only to the students who have obtained grades of seventy per cent.
in Histology and Biochemistry. An average grade of seventy per cent. and
the satisfactory completion of the laboratory work of this course is necessary
for admission to Pharmacology. Dr. H. W. Smith and Dr. Angell.

Bacteriology and Pathology.—Twelve hours weekly throughout the session
and four additional hours a week during the second term. The work
in pathology is open only to students who have obtained a record of passed
in Histology. Bacteriology and Pathology are taught in a combined course.
Emphasis is laid upon the medical and public health aspects of bacteriology.
Autopsies and the study of gross and microscopic specimens supply the
practical work accompanying the systematic study of pathology. Opportunity
is given selected students for advanced work. Dr. Marshall, Dr.
Sanderson and Dr. Gregory.

Materia Medica.— Lectures and recitations six hours weekly and laboratory
work four hours weekly, during the first three-fourths of the fall term.
A thorough study is made of the sources, preparation, composition, properties
and interactions of medicinal substances to the end that they may be
intelligently prescribed. Special attention is paid to their standardization
for purity and potency. Prescription writing and incompatibility are
dealt with in frequent practical exercises. While the consideration of the
more important preparations of the Pharmacopeia and the New and Non-Official
Remedies consumes the greater portion of the allotted time, the
course is concluded with a critical study of many of the so-called patent
medicines. Dr. J. A. Waddell, assisted by Messrs. Boulware, Dickey,
Hart, and Turner.

Toxicology.—Lectures and recitations six hours weekly and laboratory
work four hours weekly, during the last quarter of the fall term. A systematic
review is made of the pharmacological action of such chemic agents
as are particularly liable to cause injury to health or loss of life, special
attention being given to their quantitative effects. Practical instruction is
given in the methods of isolating and identifying. The treatment of poisoning
is dealt with in detail. Dr. J. A. Waddell, assisted by Messrs. Boulware,
Dickey, Hart, and Turner.

Pharmacology.—Lectures, recitations and demonstrations six hours weekly
and laboratory work six hours weekly, during the third term. The physical
and chemical characteristics and the mode of action of representative
drugs and other chemic agents are dealt with in both didactic and practical
exercises. Special attention is given to analysing and interpreting the results
obtained in the laboratory. An average grade of seventy per cent.
on Physiology together with the satisfactory completion of the laboratory
work of Physiology is required for admission to the course. Dr. J. A. Waddell,
assisted by Messrs. Boulware, Dickey, Hart, and Turner.

Physical Diagnosis.—Four hours weekly during the third term. Instruction
is given in the principles and methods of physical examination. Attention
is given especially to the study of the normal subject. Dr. Flippin,
