The Chicago School of Dermatology, incorporated 
under the laws of the State of Illinois, was organized with 
a view to giving special clinical instruction in Skin, Genito- 
urinary, Renal and Rectal diseases, to such practitioners as 
desire to further perfect their knowledge of these branches. 
At this age every general practitioner recognizes the 
necessity or advantage of post-graduate instruction and it 
has therefore become the custom with many to spend their 
vacation in some of the large cities visiting the hospitals 
and dispensaries. Realizing that every general practitioner 
who lias been busy and overworked for any length of time 
naturally inclines to give preference for, or special study to 
some particular branch or department of medicine, and from 
an increasing demand on them for special teaching, in the 
way of private classes, etc., the founders of this institution 
have been induced to endeavor to meet this demand by 
establishing the Chicago School of Dermatology. With 
the present and constantly increasing population of this city 
it 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 to 
furnish everything in the way of clinical advantages and 
special instruction in these branches that can be obtained 
in 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 Van 
Buren line of street cars. It is being equipped with every- 
thing in the way of instruments, surgical appliances, micro- 
scopes, electrical apparatus, etc., that may be found necessary 
or useful in such an institution. 
THE DISPENSARY 
will be open daily from 2 to 4 p.m., when the class will 
have an opportunity of examining and treating patients, 
and making all the minor operations under the personal 
supervision 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 thorough 
knowledge of any science, the course will be so arranged 
that those in need of such instruction will receive it. 
Prof. Henry J. Reynolds will endeavor to illustrate with 
clinical material and a large number of life-sized charts, all 
the various forms of skin disease liable to be met with in this 
or any other country; to exhibit under the microscope the 
various parasites capable of producing skin disease, and 
will illustrate the use of electricity in the permanent re- 
moval of superfluous hairs, and in the only successful method

for producing local anasthesia of the skin. He will give 
didactic and clinical instruction in the various methods of 
treating stricture of the urethra—including electrolysis— 
and in the various manipulations and operations necessary 
in 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 on 
these 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 sc 
frequently complicate genito-urinary and skin affections, and 
will 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 will 
also, assisted by Dr. Wiggin, give such instruction in 
anatomy as will be necessary for a proper understanding of 
all the subjects taught in the school. 
Prof. Silva’s course will be confined exclusively to the 
therapeutics appertaining to the various branches taught in 
the school, with special attention to electro-therapeutics. 
THERAPEUTICS. 
Prof. Benson will briefly discuss the physiological 
functions and the normal and pathological histology of the 
skin and other organs embraced in the subjects taught, and 
will give such instruction in the use of the microscope and 
the preparing of specimens as may be deemed necessary for 
the proper understanding of these specialties.

THE COURSE. 
Commencing on Tuesday July 5, 1887, and the first 
Tuesday of each month thereafter until further notice is given, 
each course will continue daily except legal holidays, for 
four weeks. 
As the clinical material forms largely the subjects for 
study each day, so the course of one month must naturally 
vary somewhat from that of another, and while everything 
will be comprehended as far as practicable in one course, 
it is the advice of the faculty that two or more sessions be 
attended 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 
school. 
4. Satisfactory examinations. 
FEES. 
Matriculation $ 5.00 
Tickets to the first course, payable in advance . . . 30.00

Medical students or undergraduates may attend the 
course on any one of the branches taught in this school and 
receive an appropriate certificate therefor, upon payment 
of ten dollars; or they may attend the complete course on 
the same basis as practitioners but will not be granted the 
diploma of the school until after receiving the title of Doctor 
of Medicine. 
TO UNDERGRADUATES. 
THE HOSPITAL FOR SKIN, GGNITO-URI- 
NARY AND RENAL DISEASES. 
To supply the great and increasing demand in this class 
of special cases for better facilities for giving more systematic 
treatment and care than can possibly be given in boarding 
houses, hotels and most private residences, and with a view 
to the best interests of those attending the Chicago School 
of Dermatology a hospital has been established for the ac- 
commodation of this class of patients. This departure 
will be found a particularly desirable one by patients sent 
from a distance to remain in the city while receiving treat- 
ment for these diseases. The upper portion of the college 
building, which is located in a very healthy part of the 
city, is being neatly furnished, equipped and fitted up for 
this purpose, and consists of wards, single rooms for private 
patients, baths, etc. It will also contain a department for 
Diseases 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 the 
corresponding chair. , 
Such diseases as may be of an infectious character 
will be treated in a ward set apart for that purpose, to avoid 
all possibility of contagion, but no eruptive contagious fever 
cases will be received. 
The management will be so conducted that the patients 
in each department shall be cared for in the most systematic 
and scientific manner. For instance, skin cases requiring 
such, will have medicated, electric and other baths at their 
command, may have inunctions properly applied, etc. 
Patients afflicted with diabetes may have the anti-diabetic 
diet treatment systematically carried out, etc. 
Doctors taking the courses at the School of Dermatology 
are permitted and expected, when necessary, to assist in all 
operations and the general management of patients in this 
hospital 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 should 
address all communications to the Physician and Surgeon 
in charge, Henry J. Reynolds, M.D., 163 State St., Chicago. 
All communications relative to the Chicago School of 
Dermatology should be addressed to the Secretary,

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 of 
Illinois, 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 a 
suitable building, near the clinical center of the city, was secured and a 
hospital and dispensary established, At the outset, the building was 
•considered amply large to meet all requirements for several years, but the 
success, attained the first year, demonstrated the fallacy of this idea, and 
•one much larger and better adapted for the purpose is now occupied by the 
College and Hospital. 
Few medical students before receiving their degree feel the importance, 
or have the opportunity of studying the specialties included in the curriculum 
of this College. Yet, after graduating in medicine, those who have not had 
personal 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 and 
throat, 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 these 
organs. 
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 the 
diagnosis and treatment of all the diseases of these organs, with which he is 
likely to meet in practice. 
Daily practice is given in the use of the ophthalmoscope and other necessary 
instruments, and in the correction of refractive errors. 
The hospital and dispensary furnish abundant clinical material for dem- 
onstration.
