DR. CHILTON'S NEW MAGNETO-ELECTRO MACHINES, FOR MEDICAL APPLICATION. These Instruments possess a great superiority over all others for medical use, the shocks being obtained entirely from permanent magnets, and the mechanism is so arranged as to cause the current of induced electricity to pass always in one direction. They require no galvanic battery to put them in action, and consequently, there is no need of acids or other liquids, so objectionable in the other kinds now in use, and they are always ready for immediate application, and are in no ways liable to get out of order. All that is necessary to put the instrument in action is simply to turn a small handle, which could be done by a child. They are put up in a very portable form, being secured in small mahogany boxes, from which they do not require to be removed. For sale at Dr. CHILTON'S Chemical Warehouse, THE BRITISH AND FOREIGN Medico-Chirurgical Review, AND JOURNAL OF PRACTICAL MEDICINE, BY RICHARD AND GEORGE S. WOOD, THE MEDICO-CHIRURGICAL REVIEW had for many years a repu tation unequalled by any other journal, as the Medical Journal of Europe, and a Standard Work in Medical Literature. Being republished in this country for more than twenty five years, it was universally known to the Medical Profession here, and was pronounced by some of the most eminent "the best medical journal extant." The British and Foreign Medical Review, though not so long established, was nearly as well known, and was conducted with such spirit as fully to entitle it to rank with its illustrious contemporary. These two works are now united, (under the above title, and will be sustained by the united contributions of the writers whose talent have given such eminence to each. Of the merits of the work produced by this combination, nothing need be said.

The introduction and rapid adoption in England, a few years since, of COD-LIVER OIL, manufactured in a proper manner from the fresh Cod Livers having awake..ed the attention of our medical men to the subject, aud created a demand for the article, (which at that time could not be obtained, as none of the pure oil had been prepared in this country) we were induced to prepare some of it for our customers who wished to try it, and were the first to introduce the genuine article to the Medical Profession of New-York and its vicinity; and although at that time there were many objections to its use, owing to the dark nauseous oil having been used with unpleasant effects in some cases, and total failure in others, it was faithfully tried in several cases with success so remarkable as almost to defy belief, thus giving rise to new trials, and establishing beyond doubt or cavil its great value as a therapeutic agent. Since we first introduced it, it has been extensively used by the Medical Profession, both in the city and country, and with decided success, in cases of Consumption, Chronic Rheumatism, &c., but like all medicine much in demand, it is unfortunately adulterated and imitated to a great extent, and much disappointment will invariably result when patients are so unfortunate as to have the spurious article palmed off to them for the genuine. We ourselves lately examined specimens of Oil, sent by different manufacturers to the New-York Druggists, as specimens of the PURE CODLIVER OIL, and upon testing them in the usual manner, found that so far from being pure, they did not contain one-fourth of Pure Cod-Liver Oil: and a great deal of Oil has been made from the livers of other fish, and repre sented as PURE COD-LIVER OIL. It is exceedingly to be regretted that so valuable a Mediciue should be so extensively adulterated, and we have spared neither pains nor expense to insure our patrons a Pure Article, made under our own supervision with the greatest care and cleanliness, expressly for Medicinal Use; and the Oil of our make, from its superior quality, has received the preference wherever it has been introduced We are aware that many persons are advertising that they receive their supplies from the agents at the fisheries, &c.; but having examined some samples said to be so received, and found them very inferior, in order to furnish our customers with Oil that we can warrant in every particular, (and the fishing on our own coast being over for this season,) one of our firin has gone to Newfoundland expressly to superintend the manufacture of Oil for our own sales. NOTICE!-In future Our Oil will have our Signature over the Cork of each Bottle or Can, without which none is Genuine.

And being purified from all the noxious and deleterious elements, its operation is attended by No sickness of the stomach, no vomiting, no headach, Nor any derangement of the constitution or general health. Hence its high superiority over Laudanum, Paregoric, Black Drop, Denarcotized Laudanum, and every other Opiate preparation. The Elixir of Opium is also greatly superior to Morphine. 1. In its containing all the active medicinal virtues of Opium in native combination, and in its being its full representative, while Morphine, being only one of its principles, cannot alone, and that in an artificial state of combination too, produce all the characteristic effects of so triumphant a remedy, when four or five of its other valuable principles are excluded. 2. In its effects, the Elixir is more characteristic, permanent and uniform than any of the artificial compounds of Mor, hine. 3. And as a Preparation, it is not liable to decompose or deteriorate like the Solutions of Morphine; and thus is obviated a serious objection, which has prevented the latter from being used with precision and effect. To speak summarily, the Elixir of Opium, as a remedy, may be adopted in all cases in which Opium or its preparations are administered, with the certainty of obtaining all their salutary and happy effects, without being followed by their distressing and pernicious consequences. The following testimonial, recently received, embraces several interesting and very important facts connected with the administration of the Elixir of Opium; and it is believed the views expressed by Dr. Webb will accord with the experience of every Physician who may adopt the use of this truly valuable remedial agent in his practice: Messrs. A. B. & D. SANDS, Hempstead, L.I., July 7, 1816. GENTLEMEN,-I regret that urgent and unavoidable engag ments have prevented me from answering yours before, requesting my opinion of MCMUNN'S ELIXIR OF OPIUM, or any facts with res, ect to its operation in my practice. I have frequently witnessed its effects in cases which resisted every other remedy; and I might cite a number of instances in which it seem ed to act like a charm in allaying the most dangerous symptoms when other means had been tried in vain. I have been in the habit of using it more or less in my practice, ever since it was first presented to public use, and I know of no substitute for it in all those cases in which it is desirable to allay nervous irritability, either as an anodyne or soporific, without producing all the unpleasant cousequences incident to the narcotic property of Opium. A case occurred recently, in which the use of Morphine was followed by a state resembling catalepsy. The patient remained insensible for five hours after taking a moderate dose, with a complete suspension of sensorial power or volition, without my discovering the causes; but as the effects of the Morphine subsided, the pains for which it was given returned with such severity that the dose was repeated, and the same results followed. I substituted the Elixir, and she was perfectly free from all unpleasant results afterwards, and completely relieved. Another case, in which every other form of Opium had been tried before I was called, was relieved by McMUNN's ELIXIR. The patient was a lady, who had been vomiting incessantly for two or three days. She cautioned me not to prescribe any preparation of Opium, insisting that it would make her worse. I ventured, however, to try it without her knowledge, and she was at once relieved, falling into a delightful slumber, without feeling any other than than the desired effect, so that as an anti-emetic it is invalnuable. I might add a variety of other cases, but the opinions expressed in the testimonials you have already adduced are sufficient to convince the most sceptical that, when judiciously administered, it is superior to all other articles in use for particular conditions. Very respectfully yours, EDWIN WEBB, M. D. NOTICE.-A. B. & D. SANDS having purchased of Dr. McMUNN all his right, title and interest in this article, and having been the sole Proprietors since the year 1841, and by whom it has been prepared during that period, respectfuily inform dealers and consumers that no Elixir of Cp um will hereafter be genuine unless having their signature on the outsi wrapper. and all orders from the "Trade" must be addressed, as heretofore, to A.

The Faculty of the New-York University take great pleasure in announc ing that they have filled the two vacant chairs in their institution by gentlemen of pre-eminent standing in their respective departments. Dr. ELISHA BARTLETT, Professor of the Institutes and Practice of Medicine in the Louisville University, and Dr. SAMUEL D. GROSS, Professor of Surgery in the Louisville University, having both resigned their Professorships in that Institution, have been elected to and accepted, the one the chair of Institutes and Practice of Medicine, the other the chair of Surgery in the University of New-York. In these selections the Faculty have looked only at the great and permanent interests of their school, and they feel that these appointments, whilst they must secure the universal acceptance of the profession, will afford an earnest that the Institution will lose nothing of its former prosperity. SESSION 1850-51. The Lectures will commence on Monday, 21st day of October, and be continued under the following arrangement until the last day of February. GRANVILLE SHARPE PATTISON, M. D. Prof. of General, Descriptive and Surgical Anatomy. MARTYN PAINE, M. D. Prof. of Materia Medica and Therapeutics. GUNNING S. BEDFORD, M. D., Prof. of Midwifery and Diseases of Women and Children.

DARLING, M. D. The Faculty, it will be seen, have added the department of Physiology to the chair of Chemistry; and Prof. DRAPER will in future, in addition to his regular course on Chemistry, give two evening lectures on Physiology.The advantage of this arrangement must be obvious to every one. The Professor of Anatomy will also deliver an additional lecture in his department at an evening hour. In order to afford ample opportunities to their pupils of studying disease practically, the Faculty have determined to organize three weekly cliniques. 1st. A Surgical and Medical clinique, to be held every Saturday by Professor GROSS. 2d. A Medical and Surgical clinique every Wednesday, by Professors BARTLETT and PATTISON. 3d. An Obstetric clinique, under the charge of Professor BEDFORD.— The most interesting diseases of women and children will be brought before the class, and fully lectured upon by the Professor. The class will also have an abundant supply of midwifery cases to be attended at the houses of the patients. For these cliniques no extra charge will be made. In addition to these means of studying disease, the New-York Hospital. the Bellevu Hospital, the Eye and Ear Infirmary, the various Dispensaries and lufirmaries, are all accessible to the students. Clinical instruction is given every day at the New-York Hospital. The Dissecting Room will be open on the 1st day of October, and an ample supply of the material furnished. Fee for the full course of Lectures $105; Matriculation Fee $5; Practical Anatomy 85: Graduation Fee $30. The Spring commencement will take place early in March, and the Summer commencement early in July. Bal from 3: .50 to $3,00 per week. Students, on arriving in the city, will please call at the College Building, 659 Broadway, and inquire for the Janitor, Mr. Polman, who will conduct them to boarding houses near the College. JOHN W.

The Forty-fourth Session of the College will be commenced on Monday 14th of October, 1850, and continued until March 13th, 1851, (Commencement day.) ALEXANDER H. STEVENS, M. D., L L. D., President of the College, and Emeritus Professor of Clinical Surgery. JOSEPH M. SMITH, M. D., Professor of the Theory and Practice of Medicine and Clinical Medicine. JOHN B. BROK. M. D., Professor of Materia Medica and Medical Jurisprudence. JOHN TORREY, M. D., LI.. D., Professor of Botany and Chemistry. WILLARD PARKER, M. D., Professor of the Principles and Practice of Surgery. CHANDLER R. GILMAN, M. D., Professor of Obstetrics and the Diseases of Women and Childreu. ALONZO CLARK, M. D, Professor of Physiology and Pathology, (including Microscopy.) CHARLES E. ISAACS, M. D., Demonstrator of Anatomy. FEES.-Matriculation Fee $5, fees for the full course of Lectures $94, Demoustrator's ticket $5, Graduation fee $25, board (average) $3 per week. The prerequisites for graduation are-21 years of age, three years of study, including two full courses of Lectures, the last of which must have been attended in this College, and the Presentation of a Thesis on some subject connected with Medical Science. In addition to the regular Course, and not interfering with it, a Course of Lectures will be commenced on Monday, 30th September, and continued until the 14th October. This Course will be free. It is known to the friends of Medical Education, that this Institution was among the first to take a stand in favor of augmenting the number of Profes sors, prolonging the term of Lectures and increasing the facilities for Clini· cal Teaching, when these great measures of Reform were demanded by the nearly unanimous vote of the American Medical Association. From this position it has never receded. While others have talked of Reform, the College of Physicians and Surgeons has acted. A Seventh Professorshipthat of Physiology and Pathology-has been established, and a gentleman called to fill it who confessedly stands pre-eminent in that department of Medical Science. By him Microscopic Anatomy has been taught with a fulness of illustration nowhere equalled in this country, while Pathology has ben the subject of almost daily demonstation. As to Clinical Teaching, the Importance of which is now everywhere acknowledged, the Clinique of the College, as it is one of the oldest. is believed to be by far the largest in the country. Here the Students have opportunities of seeing week by week a large and important class of medical and surgical diseases, but this Clinique is not expected nor intended to be a substitute for Hospital Teaching. In both the large Hospitals of New-York, the Students of the College receive instructions from their own teachers-Professor Smith being Senior Physician to the New-York Hospital, Professor Parker one of the Surgeons, and Professor Clark one of the Physicians to Bellevue. In both these institutions Clinical Instruction is regularly given, and they, together with the College Clinique, present to the Student an amount and variety of disease only to be found in a large metropolis. THE NEW-YORK MADICAL COLLEGE. SESSION OF 1850-51. A College edifice, unsurpassed for architectural beauty and adaptation to its purposes, will be completed by the first day of October. Its position is unrivalled, being in Thirteenth-street, within one hundred yards of Broadway, and Union Place, midway between the New-York Hospital and Bellevue Hospital, and at a convenient distance from the Eye and Ear Infirmary, and the various Dispensaries of the City which are accessible to the Students. Enjoying the vicinity of the most attractive and frequented parts of the city, it is still sufficiently distant to possess every advantage of retirement. HORACE GREEN, M. D. Professor of the Theory and Practice of Medicine. ABRAHAM L. Cox, M. D. Professor of Surgery. JOHN H. WHITTAKER, M. D. Professor of Anatomy and Physiology. EDWIN HAMILTON DAVIS, M. D. Professor of Materia Medica and Pharmacy. B. FORDYCE BARKER, M. D. Professor of Midwifery, and Diseases of R. OGDEN DOREMUS, M. D. Professor of Chemistry. An inspection of the building and arrangements now in progress, will satisfy gentlemen engaged in the study of Medicine, that no provisions better devised or more ample, can be made to facilitate their pursuits and to promote their convenience, than are here furnished. The capacious Anatomical Rooms and Theatre, the well-arranged Laboratory and beautiful and convenient Halls, will compare well with those of any Institution in this or any other city. FEES.-Matriculation, $5. 66 The full Course, $105. Demonstrator's Ticket, $5. For the final examinations, $30. Graduation.-The Charter of this Institution expressly provides that its Diploma "shall have the same force and effect as a license to practise Physic and Surgery" from any Medical Society in this State. A graduate of this school can therefore practise his profession in any part of this State without being subject to the annoyance of examinations from Medical Societies. To obtain the Diploma, the candidate must be of the age of 21 years. He must have studied medicine under a respectable practitioner for three years. He must have attended two full courses of lectures, of which one must have been in this College, and He must present to the Faculty, in his own hand writing, a thesis on some medical or surgical subject. The only reform which this College purposes, is to teach earnestly and faithfully whatever is necessary for the accomplishment of a complete medical and surgical education. It is believed by the officers of this Institution, that no benefit can be derived from the multiplication of the courses of lectures; that six courses well attended are better than a larger number; that a student cannot possibly hear with advantage a greater number of lectures in a day, and that time taken from Anatomy and Chemistry to be devoted to branches not usually taught, and which are better acquired from the instructions of a private preceptor and the Students' reading during the College recess. can be followed by no other consequence than deficiency in that primary and fundamental knowledge, the acquisition of which ensures success and reputation in after life. A Surgical, a Medical and an Obstetrical Clinique will be held weekly by the professors of the different branches, not inferior in interest or extent to any others in this city. It is the ardent desire and fixed purpose of both the Trustees and the Aug. 14th. Dean of the Faculty, and Secretary to the Board of Trustees. The Lectures will commence on Monday, the 7th day of October, and be Materia Medica and Pharmacy, JOSEPH CARSON, M. D. Surgery, WILLIAM GIBSON, M. D.

By JOHN MURRAY CARNOCHAN, M. D. Surgeon to the New-York DR. CARNOCHAN will deliver a Course of Lectures on OPERATIVE SURGERY and SURGICAL PATHOLOGY, adopting the plan pursued in The School of Medicine" of Paris. All the Surgical Operations with the different methods of practising them, will be explained and performed upon the Cadaver before the class. The subject of Bandaging with the appropriate treatment of Fractures and Dislocations will also be embraced in the course. The Lectures will be given in the Lecture-room near Washington Square, commencing in the last week of October, and continuing until the 1st of March next. An examination of the class will be held every Saturday, the Subject being on the table ; and at the end of the term a gold medal will be awarded to the most dexterous and accomplished pupil in this branch of science. Further particulars may be had of Dr. Carnochan, at his residence, 759 Broadway. JAMES WEBSTER, M. D. Professor of Special and General Anatomy. JAMES PLATT WHITE. M. D.

Demonstrator of Anatomy. A Preliminary Term will commence on the first Wednesday in October, 1850, and continue to the beginning of the regular term. The Preliminary Term will be devoted to Dissections, Clinical instruction in connection with the Hospital, and daily lectures on special subjects, as follows: On Generation and Puerperal Fever, by Professor White. On Syphilis and Ophthalmic Surgery, by Professor Hamilton. On the Physical Exploration of the Chest, by Professor Flint. On * by Professor Hadley. On Microscopical Anatomy, by Dr. Ford.
