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 and Dr. Speidel.
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; and 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 Assistants.
Bacteriology.—Twelve hours weekly throughout the first term. Systematic
course in medical bacteriology, with emphasis on public health, differential
diagnostic methods and the foundation of serology and infection. Dr. Sanderson
and Dr. Brumfield.
Pathology.—Five and one-half hours weekly during the first term, seven
hours weekly during the second term, and ten and one-half hours weekly during
the third term. First term: gross pathology of selected tissues; the study of infection
and immunity in conjunction with bacteriology; autopsy experience and
weekly reviews. Second terms: general and special pathology. Opportunities
for research for qualified students. Dr. Marshall and Dr. Brumfield.
Materia Medica.—Lectures and recitations six hours weekly and laboratory
work four hours weekly, during the first three-fourths of the winter 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

of the so-called patent medicines. Dr. J. A. Waddell and Assistants.
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

of isolating and identifying. The treatment of poisoning is dealt with in detail.

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 and Assistants.
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, Dr. Mulholland
