` L ` The anatomy, gross and minute, of the eye and ear and the _  
physiology of these organs, are treated as fully as the time permits.  
_ ;‘ During the year students dissect such mammals (dog, cat, and rab- } Ee
p bit) as may be used to illustrate the lectures preceding and accom- 4  
‘ · panying the practical work. Especial attention is given to the gross lh
i , anatomy of the viscera, thoracic, abdominal and pelvic.
  — To a prospective student of medicine the advantages of this course
- ‘ can hardly be estimated. The additional training in Botany, Phy- _
V sies, Zoology, Osteology, Embryology, Chemistry, Physiological  
  `, Chemistry, and in experimental and laboratory work in Physiology, fir
' places him far in advance of those who have not pursued these  
T studies.
