This Report had its origin in 1880, in the "Report of the Committee on Medical Education of the Illinois State Board of Health," which con- sisted of five pages (in the "Third Annual Report of the State Board of Health") with a small table of colleges. In this committee's report the schedule of minimum requirements, which went into effect In 1883-84, was made out and adopted by the Illinois State Board of Health. Some of the suggestions then offered hold to-day as well as they^did ten years ago, ialthough, as will be seen by a careful examination of this Repokt, great changes for the better have talten place. It is too shamefully true that at present many students are admitted to the lecture courses, whose illiteracy prohibits their profiting by the in- struction given, except in the narrowest limits, and precludes the possi- bility of their attaining such knowledge as the duties of the profession positively demand. Natural talent and aptitude may go far toward fitting a man for any calling, but no talent can take the place of thorough education in a pro- fession where such large fields of knowledge are to be mastered, and so many and such important judgments are to be constantly and promptly formed. It is a palpable absurdity to expect to make skillful physicians of illit- erate students by mere dint of reading them lectures, even when accom- panied by quizzes and examinations. It is doubtful whether any exami- nation of qualification such as can be made at the crowded opening of a session can be relied upon to assume the requisite preparation for admis- sion. Not less than three full years should be devoted to a^ diligent study of medicine, before graduating or commencement of practice. Whoever will consider the extent of the several branches of science to be mastered by the student of medicine, will easily conclude that three full years will af- ford but scanty time for the work. It is doubtful whether any true scholar would attempt to do this work in such time without great hesi- tation. In 1881 the report on medical colleges and on medical education occupied fifty-seven pages in the "Fourth Annual Report of the State Board of Health of Illinois." This was the first time that the medical colleges of the United States and Canada were classified. After ten years it is felt that the enormous labor involved in preparing the diJerent editions of the Report on Medical Education has been amply repaid and justified, and it is hoped that the present Report, by giving information in regard to all the medical teaching bodies in the world, will do much to increase the o'2> IV knowledge in regard to medical education, and by giving the requirements in all countries will do much to bring about a higher standard in this "country. Until the second Report of this Roaud (in 1881) all that was generally known of the medical colleges in this country was printed in tabulated form in the reports of Hon. John Eaton, then U. S. Commissioner of Education. A comparison of this, the Sbventh Report on Medical Education', with the one for 1890 shows that some marked changes have taken place in the past year, and when a review is made of the changes for the better since the session of 1882-83, there is much cause for congratulation and encouragement. There are now 148 medical colleges of all kind ia exist- ence In the United States and Canada, there being 135 in this country and 13 in Canada. In 1882 the number of colleges requiring certain edu- cational qualifications for matriculation was 45; in 1886, 114; in 1889, 117; in 1890, 124; and In this Repout 129*. In 1882 the number of colleges that required attendance on three or more courses of lectures before graduation was 22; 1886, 41; in 1889, 47; in 1890, 64; in this Report, 85. Of the 148 colleges all have chairs of hygiene ex- cept 14t, making 123 that teach this branch, while 119 now have chairs of medical jurisprudence. In 1882 hygiene was taught in 52, and medical jurisprudence in 61 colleges; in 1886 each branch was taught in 110 colleges; in 1889, 117 taught hygiene, and 112 medical jurisprudence; and in 1890, hygiene was taught in 119, and medical jurisprudence in 114 colleges!. There has been also a gradual Increase in the duration of the lecture terms from an average of 23.5 weeks in 1882-83, to 26.3 weeks in 1890-91. In 1882-83 there were eight colleges that had but 16 weeks. The number of colleges having terms of six months or more is now 111. In 1882-83 the number was 42; it was 49 in 1884. 50 in 1885, 52 in 1886, 55 In 1887, 63 in 1888, 68 in 1889, and 76 in 1890. There are now in the United States 32 examining and licensing bodies that do not give instniction, and 2 in Canada. The following table shows the work of the examining and licensing bodies that examine all appli- cants for license to practice: tl *There are now in IlUnols two graduates studying the throe B's on probation for a lioense to practice. t Not including the fraudulent colleges. tDuring the past year two collcgea have died of inanition. =8 g^ Bejeoted..

But a study of the German method of examining (given in this Befobt) will show that candidates in this country are not subjected to as severe tests as are candidates in Germany. A careful examination of the foregoing tables will show that there are marked differences us to the severity of the examinations held by the State Boards, or else that the graduates going from certain colleges before cer- tain boards are much better qualified than the average of the graduates of those schools. It is a fact that the examination papers vary greatly, and the table is not a positive index of the work of the schools represented. To correct these differences and have more uniform examinations there should be a meeting of the examining boards of the different states, and and some system adopted by which examination papers may be exchanged. \ fl •Eejeoted previous year. The work of the boards may be facilitated In doubtful cases If they will refer to the pages of this llBkH)KT for the status of the colleges represented by applicants. It Is a matter of Importance that the work Of these examining boards should bo as uniform as possible, in order to Dring about the best results BO far as medical education and the regulation of the practice oi medicine are concerned. The difficulties incident to divided and limited jurisdic- tions would thus be overcome, and the work made broader and more na- tional in its character. Unless this is done, owing to the frequent changes of residence by medical men, repeated examinations become onerous, and In some cases work hardship. This is one of uiany good reasons for try- ing to secure cooperation and uniformity of action in issuing and recog- nizing certificates of examination by the various boards. If this course is adopted. It will furnish facilities for the investigation of the character of applicants when removing to other states, . as experi- ence has taught that graduates having diplomas from some of the best medical colleges, or those who have passed a good examination, occas- ionally become the greatest professional frauds. Knowledge of the his- tory of the^-e men, thus obtained, would assist In preventing their being licensed in other states, and would exercise a supervision over all, which would do much towards upholding the morale O'' the profession. The laws under which these boards work are different in some respects, and the conditions of examination differ. In the case of at least twenty schools the results of the examinations give too much or too little credit in the table. Some of the applicants are recent graduates, and others have been in practice for some time. It has been the practice of this Boakd to recognize the certificates of examination issued by other Boards. ' The following tables are interesting: Standing in bach Section of the AppI/^oants Eejkcted September 3d and 4th, 1890, BY THE MEDICAL EXAMINING BOAUD OF VlUQINIA, AND THE Colleges fkom which they Received Diplomas. V '1 The standard of requirements for license is an average mark of 75 per cent, on the whole. If, however, an applicant receives less than 33i per cent, in any one of the eight Sections, he is rejectek. . [This Table is introduced solely for the tjurpose of indicating the branches of study in which the greatest deficiencies of preparation of the applicants are most noticeable. In addition, it should be remarked that had it been required to rate the applicants on ordinary correctness of English grammar, at least one-third of those who passed satisfactory ex- aminations on the required branches of medical study would have received very low markings, and far more than one-half of those rejected shov/ed, in their examination papers, lamentable ignorance of English composition, spelling, etc— Secretary of the Virginia board.] \ MABKS OF CANDIDATES REJECTED BY THE VIRGINIA BOARD. i 1 Instttutionb of Graduation.

I ■■■•■<■., „. immmm^mm T 5CI Preliminary Education.— Special attention is called to the fact that in some of the largest universities. in this country coursef^ preliminary to ,the study of medicine are now offered— the University of Pennsylvania, Cornell, Yale, Princeton, Lake Forest and Northwestern Universities, Johns Hopkins and the University of Wisconsin. That it is wise for students to take such courses before bep'.uning the study of medicine there can be no doubt— as there can be no doubt that the day is past when the strictly i classical course is entirely suflBcient to fit any one for the study of medi- cine. It is interesting to note in this connection that the emperor of Germany has fallen in line with modern thought and has recently declared against the excessive time and labor expended upon the classical course. Harvard University has made arrangements by which the students in- tending to study medicine can take a special A. B. course in three years. An attempt has been made to establish a course preparatory to the study of medicine at the University of Michigan, but the scheme did not suc- ceed. The plan was as follows: ' Outline of the Pkofobbd Medical Pbepabatobt Coubsb. fibbt tsab. rirst Semester. German — 4 French 4: General ohemistry 5 Trlgronometxy 3 Second Semester.

Sc. instead of the B. A. degree. Such a course as the one offered by the University of Wisconsin should undoubtedly be accepted as one of the four years of medical study, but not as the equivalent of one of the three courses of lectures, though it should be accepted in lieu of one course of medical lectures when four course.'! of lectures are required, as mast be the case during the present decade.

The facilities for obtaining a higher medical education are Increasing yearly, and is hoped that the day is not far distant when the standard of medical education will be as high in this as in any other country. ' . • Four Yeabs' Study and Three Courses of Lectures. There can be no longer any doubt that the movement for four years of medical study and three courses of lectures, with higher preliminary edu- cation, will be successful. At the meeting of the American Medical As- sociation in Nashville, n May, 1890, the American Medical College As- sociation was formed and adopted the following: RULEB GOVEBNINO THE ADiaSSION OF OoLLEaES TO MeMBBBSHIP IN THE i. Tb BIOAN MED- ICAL ASSOCIATIOIir. 1. That the colleges shall require a graded c jo of instruction covering a period of not less than three courses of lectures of six months duration each before graduation. 2. That oral and written examinations be required of all students. 3. That a thorough course of laboratory instruction be maintained In chemistry, hlstol- oly and pathology. 4. A preliminary entrance examination, consisting of: 1. A composition, written in English, of not less than two hundred words. 2. The translation of easy Latin prose. ,s.V " ■ -' . '' It Is provided, however, that sttidents be allowed one year to make up any deflcienSy of this examination. 3. An examination in higher arithmetic. .■.;.;.'; .' . - ■ v^ ''»,':'',' 4. An examination in elementary physics. Jl ' / - It is provided, however, that candidates who are graduates or matriculates of recog- nized colleges of literature, science and artii, or graduates of normal schools supported by the different states, bo exempt from the proyisions of this examination. By resolution it was determined that the colleges entitled to representation in this con- vention shall enforce the above curriculum at the commencing of the session of 1892-93. At the meeting of the American Institute of Homoeopathy, at Waukesha, Wis., on June 20, 1890, the Institute adopted the following recommenda- tions of its Intercollegiate Committee: On and after the fall of 1892, in all colleges represented In tha Intercollegiate Committee of the American Institute of Homoiopathy the term of study required for graduation shall be at least four years, which shall include attendance upon not less than three terms of six months each. i'- .>■'-•' .,- ■ ' 'y'-z&i^i No person, unless ho prespnt a diploma or certificate of graduation from an accredited university, college, academy it high school, or a teacher's certifloate which shall be ap- proved by the faculty as equivalent to the examinations required, shall be admitted to the second year of study, and the first course of lectures in any of the colleges ropresonted in this committee, without having passed a written examination upon the following subjects: 1. English composition, by writing at the time of examination an essay of not less than two hundred words, from which may be judged the writer's proficiency In grammar, spelling and writing. ,. . ., . , , 2. Arithmetic as far as square root. "■ ' • ' • ■• ' ,. ;. ■.•''•-'. XIV Hi 3. Geoffraphy. physical and politloal, as much as Is contained in auvanoed school geographies. 4. History, such an outline of the history of modern civilized nations, especially of the United States, as is contained in ordinary manuals of history. 6. Latin, suiQolent to read easy prose and to give a fair comprehension of soientiflc terms and formula. 6. Physics, such as is comprised in Balfour Stewart's "Primer of Physios." 7. Biology and physiology, as much as is comprised in the briefer course of Martin's "Human Body." 8. Obemlstry, as comprised in MlUer's"£lementry Chemistry." 9. Botany as found in an'elementary manual. It shall be understood that the first of these four years of study shall have been devoted to the preliminary medical studies, as outlined by this committee, and that, upon success- fully passing the above examination, the student shall have fulfllled the requirements of the first year of medical study. All the bomoeopathic medical colleges in the United States except the Kansas City Homoeopathic Medical College are in the Intercollegiate Com- mittee of the Institute. The following eclectic medical schools now require four years' study and three full courses of medical lectures: Bennett College of Eclectic Medicine and Su.-gery, Chicajfc American Medical College, St. Louis. California Medical College. Eclectic Medical College of the City of New York. Ecleccic Medical Institute, (Cincinnati. In addition to the colleges marked in thi Hepout "Diplomas not rec- ognized," or "Diplomas recognized conditi Uy." and the obviously fraudulent institutions, the Board in 1890 recognized conditionally the diplomas of 25 colleges because of non-compliance with the schedule of minimum requirements. Before being granted certificates the graduates of these schools were required to supplement their applications with satis- factory evidence and by examination in the branches in which their col- legiate education was deficient. The following inetitutions have adopted, or will do so at the dates set opposite their titles, the requirements of longer terms of study, as a con- dition precedent to graduation: California Medical College, 4 years' study with session of '. 1891 Bennett College of Eclectic Medicine and Surgery, Chicago, 3 courses of lectures and 4 years' study 1890-91 Medical College of Indiana, 3 courses of lectures and 4 years' study 1390-91 Physio-Medical College of Indiana, 4 " " " " 1890-91 Fort Wayne College of Mt'dioine. 3 " " " " 1890-91 Dop't of Medicine and Surgery, University of Mich., 4 annual courses of lectures 1890-91 Homeopathic Medical College of Missouri, 3 courses of lectures and 4 years' study 1890-91 American Medical College, St. Louis, ■< •• •• •• .. 1890-91 Dartmouth Med.

Thus the list of colleges In the United States that require but two courses and have made no provision; for longer study, is reduced to 21. j The Chicago Medical College was the first medical college in this couP-| try to adopt the three years' graded course of study, as is shown by thei following: The following is a correct copy of action taken at a meeting of the fac- ulty of the Chicago Medical College on the 4th day of June, 1868. "It was voted that we divide our ourrloulum of Instruction In'o three suooesslve courses of Instruction, corresponding to the three years of study, as shown In the fol- lowing schedule. "Junior Courae.— Deiorlptlve anatomy, physiology and hlstoloy. Inorganic chemistry, materia medlca and therapeutics, dissection. "Middle Course— General pathology and pathological anatomy, surgical anatomy and operations of surgery, organic chemistry and toxicology, public hygiene, medical juris- prudence, oinio Instruction in the hospital. "Senior Cowrse.— Principles and practice of medicine, principles and practice of surgery and mili*ary surgery, obstetrics and diseases of women and children, diseases of the respiratory and circulatory organs, clinical instruction lu the hospital. It was also voted that each course of winter lectures be of six months' duration, and each summer course of three months. It was voted that every student applying for matriculation be required to show, either by certificate, or by examination, that he possesses a good English education, includ- ing the first series of mathematics and the elements of natural sciences." H. A. Johnson, ) President of the Chicago Medical College. * "V ' / din this movement of advancing the standard of medical education and regulating the practice of ncodicine, much assistance is derived from the work of various state boards of medical examiners. An impetus has been given by the formation of the American Medical College Association.! The National Institute of Homeopathy and the Ifational Eclectic Medical' Association have endorsed the requirement of four years' study, as they have already done that of three annual courses of lectures. ; Several boards, having authority similar to the Illinois Board, hav(^ already adopted the requirement in this respect, and those that have not already done so, will iu a short time co-operate in this movement. The potency of this factor will be appreciated when it is considered that these boards directly control the recognition of diplomas in an area embracing about 41,000,000 people, and indirectly in almost the entire atea of the United States; and that a number of them exercise jurisdiction in the new States and Territories. The movement for a higher standard of medical education has aow acquired a momentum that will probably result in the control of medical education and the regulation of medical practice in every State and Ter- ritory (except, perhaps, Alaska) during the present decade. The indica- tions are that in the course of another year at least 100 colleges in this country will require four years' study. vy . ,-* ■■■■% , i I. ( > XVII io ohemlstry. bhs' duration. Registration of Students.— With four years' study and three courses of lectures assured, it seems proper that the different boards of medical examiners and the colleges should cooi)erate in establishing some system of registration of medical students before they enter college, in order that [the fourth year of study may not be mere form. By a system of regis- ration, the colleges and boards can know just how long any particular 'Student has been engaged in the study of medicine. Such a system is la use in Great Britain, Canada, and several foreign countries. Under the schedule of two-year courses and three years' study the earliest age at which a student can be graduated is 21 years. The addition of one year each to the time of study and the college term would seem to justify the limitation of the minimum age of graduation to 22 years. This is a matter that the boards of examiners and the colleges would do well to take under consideration. The following table shows the age at graduation or license of 5,719 practitioners, as obtained from the records of the Loakd: •i."'" '■--■. r; 'a- Agb. ■■-.■<-• ''. 'J^.

This custom has almost entirely disappeared at this time, owing i the laws in the different States. In the United States it 's sometim* the case that young men, after obtaining an academic education go int business or teach school in order to malce money to attend medical le( tures. Again, many young men that intended to study medicine wen into one oi the armies when the war broke out, and studied medicin after the war. The passage of medical practice acts in some of the State caused many that had no diplomas to attend lectures and graduate. Attention is called to the inexact manner in which the titles of medi cal colleges are given by some of the state medical authorities. The lia of medical colleges whose diplomas are registered in Tennessee (as pull lished by the Secretary) contains several names of colleges that have neve existed, and in many cases the titles of colleges that have existed or nov exist are wrong. This was doubtless the fault of the county clerks wh( registered the diplomas, but at the same time it is important, in view o the fact that there are so many fraudulent diplomas in existence, that th exact title of the institution or authority issuing the diploma or the 1 cense be given. Mistakes in titles have occurred in every list of col- leges sent to the Secretary from different Boards of Examiners. j In the cases of some colleges it has been found that the lists of ma| triculates have been padded, in order to show that the college is more prosperous than it really is or else to reduce the percentage of graduate* to matriculates. Such a course^ reacts upon the college. The padding is almost surely discovered, and suspicion is at once aroused that the college is resorting to other methods that are not strictly honorable. A kin to this is the practice of issuing announcements wiohout printed lists of matricu- lates. This always causes serious annoyance to the graduates of such schools when they wish to obtain the license to practice ain Illinois. Another noticeable feature of the college announcements in this country is that the good work of the school is generally in inverse proportion ta the amount of vain-glorious boasting in the announcements. Should indi- vidual members of the medical profession make use of such boastful and "puflSng" language in regard to themselves as is used in some college an- fiouncements in regard to the colleges and their teachers, they would be unhesitatingly set down as quacks and unworthy of membership In a scientific body of any kind. Until the contrary is proved or asserted it is generally taken for granted that a teacher in a medical college is a gen- tleman and qualified to teach his particular branch. The first s(

His long and suceessful experience as a lectui or and teaeher in this lepartment Is well known, and eminently flts him for the position. His lectures will be plain, practical and instructive, embraoing everything both in theory and practice that is Important to be uuderstoodLt Such boasting Is not confined to heralding the qualities of the teachers. jOne of the various forms In which It appears is that of insisting that the (college has a charter. No one ever has a doubt that a school doing good [work has a charter. When a school has to sing praises to Its charter In Its announcement, there Is good reason to suspect that the charter is the best feature of the Institution. A third form In which this boastful spirit appears is that of describing the location and appointments of the college, of claiming unexampeled prosperity (sometimes when the college is about to die of inanition), and of describing long known and used methods of Instruction as new and peculiar to the college. Extravagant and untrue assertions In the pages of an announcement are usually accompanied by a high percentage of graduates to matriculates, bad work, low standard both for entrance and graduation, and not infre- quently by non-recognition of the diplomas or rejection by boards of exam- iners. There are colleges In tills country that sometimes write to students of other colleges, offering them lower rates or shorter terms, or both. Such action is not honorable. It Is quite as dishonorable as for a private prac- titioner to solicit the patients of another practitioner, and is doubtless stimulated by a desire for large classes and by the great competition between some of the colleges. *A fact so universally admitted that it seems scarcely necessary to call attention to it This is taken from the announcement of an college. Other professors are spoken of in a like manner. +From the announcement of a school, in which similar pen- portraits are drawn of other teachers and their work.

There will probably be throe more State examining boards in the next year. Instruction in State Medicine.— It seems proper to refer here to the fact that by a recent law no one can be appointed a medical oflBcer of health in Great Britain unless he have a special diploma in public health. Among the teaching institutions in London will be noticed the College of State Medicine, and diplomas in public health are now given by several British teaching institutions. It would be a step forward if some of our better endowed universities would establish departments of State medi- cine. It is. interesting to note that the contract has been signed for the \^.^'- ^ xxu ! 7; J erection of a building, to co6t $RO,000, for hygienic Instruction, as an an- nex to the UnlverBlty of Pennsylvania. For this institution the Unlver- Blty of Pennsylvania and the profession aVe Indebted to Mr. Henry C. Lea, of Philadelphia. When it is completed the University will l)e in a posi- tion to offer thorough instruction in hygiene and state medicine. Hygiene is now taught in all the medical colleges In the United States and Canada except the fourteen following: Oroaa Medical Oollegv, DmiTmrt Colorado* National Medical College, WachlngrtoB, D. 0. Medieal Department, National Unlveraity, Wa«liington« D. O. Medloal College of Oeorgla, Aaiyaeta, G(a. Atlanta Medloal College, Atlanta, Qa.

Texas Medical College and Hospital, ChtlTCston, Texas. UnlTersitT' of Virginia. It is to be regretted that in many colleges the amount of instruction in hygiene is so small as to be of but little value. The Dkgukb of M. D. in the United States.— No one making a careful study of this Report and of the pages given to foreign institutions, can fail to l)e struck with the cheapness 6f the American degree, in regard to its bost in time and uioney and as regards the requirements for it. Through- out the civilized world the value of an article is measured by its cost and by the time necessary to produce it. With the exception of Belgium this Is the only country in the world where the license to practice and the M. D. degree can be had after not more than three years of study. A distinguished professor in one of our colleges has asserted that i^- merican students learn faster than foreign youths, and therefore do nut require so long a term of study— they can learn just as much in a shorter time. Whatever truth there might be In this if the rireliminar^ education of Amer- ican medical students, as a class, was as good as that of foreign students, the assertion is obviously erroneous when certain facts are l)orne in mind. The preliminary education of the average American student is much less than that of the foreign one. It requires a certain amount of time for a person to acquire habits of scientific and logical thought. In the case of many American medical students these habits are not formed when he begins the study of medicine. We mistake the name of the thing for the thing Itself. Many medical men of world-wide reputation, especially in Great Britain, have not the M. D. degree, but the lack of it has not embarrassed them in any XXIII ■way. The American degree Is too cheap In many cases, especially as regards the amount of money it costs, often on account of the competition for stu- dents. The average fees for the eleven London schools are, excl sive of the oxamination fees, £118 5«.; for the provincial schools X98. In addition, each student has to pay from lOs. to £5 matriculation to one of the degree- Sranting bodies; from £1 to £15 for the first examination; from I. to £10 for the second; from £2 to £15 for the first degree or qualification exami- nation, and from Jlu to £15 for the second qualification examination. In some of the colleges in the United States all the fees do not amount to ^00, and In at least one the whole course of study and the diploma can be had for $1.38.

Talcing the periods of three years each of 1880-88 and 1883-86 it is seen that the most marked effect was in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri and Ohio, which had 2,257 fewer students and 727 fewer graduates in the second than the first period, mainly owing to the matriculation requirements of the Board, though these states gained about 500,000 population in the second period of three years.

In May, 1867, there was held in Cincinnati a convention of delegates from the medical schools of the country, and resolutions were passed rec- ommending changes in the methods of study, advising four years of study instead of three. "These propositions," says Dr. H. A. Johnson, "no doubt faithfully represented the opinions of those teachers when at a dis- tance from their institutions, but they had altogether a different set of ideas when the question was presented in its financial aspects at home.* •History of the Chicago Medical College, 1870. ■a -.i'A-. xxxm Nothing came of this Cincinnati convention. Ten years afterwards at the meeting of the American Medical Association in Chicago, in June, 1877, representatives from thirty-one medical colleges in the country formed the Association of American Medical Colleges, and adopted a constitution, by-laws and articles of confederation. The articles prescribed that at and after the session of 1879-80 the regular session should not be less than twenty weeks, that the term of study should be not less than three years, and the number of sessions not less than two. At its meeting In 1880 the Association increased the requirements to three courses and agreed upon prallminary examinations as condition of admis- sions after the session of 1882-83. This Association dissolved in 1881,when the time approached for the increased requirements. In October, 1880, the Illinois State Board of Health adopted its sched- ule of minimum requirements, to go into effect after the session of 1882-83. In adopting these requirements the Illinois Board simply enforced what the colleges had already and repeatedly acknowledged to be a necessity. This sciiedule, which is now In force, is as follows: ■ii^!ir Schedule of Minimum Requirements. li!*" I. Conditions of admission to lecture-courses.— 1. Credible cer- tificate of good moral standing. 2. Diploma of graduation from a good literary and scientific college, or high school— a flrst-gra''"! teacher's cer- tificate. Lacking this — a thorough examination in the branches of a good English education, including mathematics, English composition, and ele- mentary physics and natural philosophy. ' VJ«II. Branches of Medical science to be included in the course OF instruction.— 1. Anatomy. 2, Physiology. 3. Chemistry. 4. Materia- ■ v'*'i\ Medica and Therapeutics. 5. Theory and Practice of Medicine. 6. Pathol- ogy. 7. Surgery. 8. Obstetrics and Gynecology. 9. Hygiene. 10. Med- ical Jurisprudence. . , . , , r III. Length of regular graduating courses.— 1. The time occu- pied in the regular courses or sessions from which students are graduated shall not be less than five months, or twenty weeks, each. 2. Two full courses of lectures, not within one and the same year of time, shall be required for graduation with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. " '' , IV. Attendance and examination or quizzes.— 1. Regular attend- ance during the entire lecture courses shall be required, allowance being made ouly for absences occasioned by the student's sickness, such absence not to exceed twenty per centum of the course. 2. Regular examinations or quizzes to be made by each lecturer or professor daily, or at least twice ,vy' each week. 3. Final examinations on all branches to be conducted, when ' practicable, by competent examiners other than the professors in each branch. ,- ,,.,, - / ,.- ^-.v*: V. Dissection, clinics and hospital attendance.— 1. Each student shall have dissected during two courses. 2. Attendance during at least two terms of clinical and hospital instruction shall be required. im ■k XXXIV I I:- VI. Time of pkofeshionai. studies.— This shall not be less than three full years before graduation, including the time spent with a preceptor, and attendance upon lectures or at clinics and hospital. YII. Tnsthuction.— The college must show that It has a sufflclent and competent corps of instructors, and the necessary facilities for teaching, dissections, clinics, etc. , ' , • r, ' Diplomas of colleges whose educational requirements and methods of instruction fall short of the above Schedule are not recognized as entitling their i)ossessors to certificates authorizing thdm to practice in the State of Illinois. (This does not apply to diplomas issued prior to the sessions of 1883-84, but only to those Issued at the close of said sessions and sub- sequently). The only way in which holders of such diplomas may legally enter upon pre tice In this State Is by passing a satisfactory examination before the Board on the branches or subjects of the Schedule omitted. This Schedule Is, therefore, the test of the "good standing" of a medi- cal college in Illinois. Only the colleges which come up to this minimum standard are accounted as In "good standing." To determine the status of any given institution, it Is only necessary to compare the summary of the institution set forth In the following pages with the above Schedule. At the April, 1886, meeting of the Boabd, the following preamble and resolution were adopted : " * . Whbbas, The continuous graduation of forty-five (45) per cent, of the total number of matriculates of a medical coUeKO— due allowance being made for the average annual loss- must be accepted as prima facie evidence that, practically, every candidate Is graduated without regard to competency or qualification; therefore, be it Resolved, That no medical college be recognized as in good standing within the mean- ing and intent of the " Act to Regulate the Practice of Medicine in tne State of Illinois," the aggregate graduates of which college amount to forty-flve (45) per cent, of its aggregate matriculates during any period of Ave (6) years ending with a session subsequent to the session of 1885-86. NEW BEQUIKEJIENTS. ■^ At the July, 1887, meeting of the Boakd, the following resolution was adopted : Hesolved, That the phrase, " medical colleges in good standing," in the first section of the " Act to Regulate the Practice of Medicine in tho Slate of Illinois." approved June 16, 1887, is hereby defined to include only those colleges which shall, after the sessions of 1890- 91, require four years of professional study, including any time si)ent with a preceptor, and three regular courses of lectures, a** conditions of graduation, and shall otherwise conform to the Schedule of Minimum Requirements heretofore adopted by the Boabd. At a meeting of the Boakd held at Chicago May 24, 1889, the following resolution was adopted: : . V Hesolved, That by authority of tho "Act to Regulate the Practice of Medicine in the State of Illinois," approved .Tune 16, 1887. the following Schedule of Minimum Requirements for Schools of Midwifery be, and hereby is, adopted: I. Length of Regular Graduating Courses: The time occupied in the regular courses or seKsions from which students are graduated shall amount to^not less than six months. II. Instruction must include tho following branches of medical science. 1. Anatomy of the pelvis, and of the generative organs of women. 2. Physiology of menstruation and concention. 3. The signs of pregnancy. 4. Mechanism of labor. 5. Manage- ment of normal labor. 6. Management of abnormal labor. 7. Puerperal hygiene and antisepsis. 8. Special care of^the mother and infant. >iAi>X.*'iv:^;''4---^.iJ^^i'A^ii,,l-t5 ■;ki'iifi«-' '-• ■:^>'' ' ■ •. >i'-s ■■ /■-■ -.,■■'■• -.1 ■ ■ ■ ■:.:'y>); \ V.;. :;-.: *- , :.',/ K< .''■'), MEDICAL COLLEGES. ,v. \'c OF THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA--17()5-1891. , Embkac^ing the Titles; Locations; Addresses of Corresponding Officers; Organizations; Curricula of Study; Requirements for Admission and for Graduation; Fees; Number of Ma- triculates and of Graduates— of all Existing Medical Schools in the United States and Canada.

The Board of Censors of the Medical Association of the State of Aiabtuna, and the Boards of Censors of the several County Medical Societies in affiliation with the State Medical Association, are, under the law, the authorized Boards of Moilical Examiners. The State Board is composed of ton members, elected by the State Association, and each County Board of tlvo membern, elected by the County Society. Diplomas of Medical Colleges confer no right to practice medicine in Alabama. Nothing does except the certifi- cate of one of the examining boards, based upon actual examination of the applicants. The County Boards examine none but the graduates of reputable medical Colleges, the diplomas serving simply as a means for getting before the Boards. The State Boai-d alone examines non-graduatos. The rules for the government of the examining boards, includ- ing the standard of qualincations and the branches of medicine to be included ill the ex- aminations, are all piescribod by the rStato Association. The examinations ai-e both oral and written, but the principal stress is plaeed on the written examination, which usually occupies about one week. The answers to the questions are valued according to their completeness and accuracy, and an aggregate of 7f)% out of a possible 100% is necessary to pass the applicant. The examination papers are careluUy written and bound, and are filed in the State Board jf Health olnce. They are all carefully reviewed by the State Board, which makes to the State Association a special report on the character of the exam- ination of each separate applicant. The Alabama law to Kegulate the Practice of Medicine was enacted in 1877. It was ap- plicable only in counties having medical societies holding charters from the State Asso- ciation, and at the time of its enactment not more than one-half of the counties were thus organiz, cd. From year to year new societies have been organized, until in 1888 there was a medical society and a board of examiners in every county m the State. This system seems to be very complex, but in practice is fouhd to work well. A large number of incompetent ','><■ I .' «"•.

Atten- tion is called to the following preamble and resolutions adopted January 4, 1' ^8. Whereas, the law to regiilate the practice of medicine in the State of Caiirornia pro- vides that the Board of Examiners in the discharge of its offlcial duties shall determine whpt colleges. are in good standing, whose diplomas may be presented by applicants for certifi- cates under the law; And Whereas, it is apparent that the protection of the public, and the best interests of the profession require a nigher standard of medical education than that which is now adopted by many Medical CoUeges, Therpfore, Resolved, That on and after April 1. 1891. the Board ol Examiners of the Medical Society of the State of California will not grant cortlflcatos to practice medicine on diplomas issued after that date by Colleges whicli do not require that all candidates for graduation shall ha-»o studied modifiino not loss Ihiin thren full years, and shall have at- tended not less than three full reeular courses of lectures delivered during three separate years. d( ar N( flr an an m\ lv« tei In exi cin anc obg oJoi me( lar} con Gra stai adn flea evic Cou plici qua: coui com subj 8130; cour 8 perc( m board of examtner8 of the california state homeopathic medical society- San Fbahcisco, Cal.

This act was subsequently repealed by the Legisla- ture of Ontario in 1869. The present Act was passed in 187-1, and amended in 1887. The central examining board of the College of Physicians and Surgeons is composed of such elements as fairly represent every interest in the profession; and its examinations. are conducted so as to inspire the fullest confidence on the part of the several colleges, and of the students attending these institutions. A Council of the College of Physicians and Surgeons Is created, empowered and di- rected to enact By-Laws for the regulation of all matters connectedl with medical education for the admission and enrollment of students of medicine ; for determining from time to time the curriculum of the studies to bo pursued by them and to appoint a Board of Exam- iners before whom all must pass a satisfactory examination before they can bo enrolled as members of the College, and thus be legally oualiflod to to practice their profession in the Province of Ontario. The only mode in wiiich medical m -n duly qualified to practice in other countries can become legally entitled to practice In Ontario, is by license from the Counoil. Annual meeting is held on second Tuesday in June of each year, at Toronto. The Counoil is composed of twelve territorial representatives who are elected by members of the College and of one member from each of the Colleges and bodies in the Province now authorized or hereafter to be authorized bylaw to establish a Medical Faculty, and grant degi-ees in Mediciae and Surgery, and serve for a period of five years. A most Important provision is made that no teacher, professor or lecturer shall hold a seat in the Counoil ex- cept as a representative of the College or body to which he belongs. Homeopathists are represented on the Council by five members, but in matriculation and primary professional work, extending through the first two years, all candidates have to undergo the same ex- amination. A special examiner Is appointed in case any candidate desires to be examined and reg- istered as a Homeopathic praetiouer. An annual assessment of "not less than 81, or more than 82," can be levied on each registered practioner. The Council has the right to approve a tariff of fees, for medical services, and the act declares who are entitled to registration as licensed praotioners. Penalties are provided for neglecting to register or for falsification of record. Fees can- not be recovered nor appointments held In the public service by those not registered.

The Medical Practice Act of the State of Colorado provides that among the duties of the State Board of Medical Examiners, they shall "adopt (Sec. 3) such rules as are necessary for their guidance in the performance of the duties assigned them." Under this part of the statute it seems necessary to adopt a rule whereby an exact standard for the certification of diplomas shall be definitely found by this Board; also that a minimum standard of studies be requirod of applicants who shall present diplomas to this Board; therefore, be It Resolved, That after July 1, 1893, this Board shall require of all applicants for license, who shall present their diplomas for certification, three years of professional study, as conditions of graduation. That the minimum requirements shq,ll be as follows : By the Colorado State Board of Medical Examiners, that after July 1, 1893, all applicants for license shall present evidence of having taken three courses of lectures of not less than twenty weeks each, in a leeally chartered and roputablo miidiealooiloKO recognized as such by the Colorado fState Board of Medical Examiners.

Consists of seven members, appointed by the Governor of the State, for the term of seven years each. Its relations with medical education and medical colleges arise from the duties devolved upon it, and the powers and authority vested in It, by the Act to liegulate the Practice of Modicino in the State of Illinois, approved June 16, 1887. in torce July 1, 1887. Among such duties, powers and authority are the examination and verification of diplomas presented as the basis for certificates entitling their lawful holders to practice medicine within tlie State, and the issue of such certificates; the deter- mination of the standing of legally chartered medical institutions; the examination of non- graduates as to their «iualiflcatlon as practitioners, and the issue of certificates or licenses to practice to such as pass satisfactory examinations; the refusal of certillcatos to individ- uals guilty of unprofessional and dishonorable conduct, and the revocation of certitloates for like causes. The law applioslalso to midwives. Since its organization, and up to the date of its revision, January 1, 1891, the Boabd has examined and verified the diplomas and licenses of 275 institutions and licensing bodies. Of this number it has definitely rejected the diplomas of 28 institutions, on ground of fraud or other gross invalidity; it has required the diplomas of 2() other institutions to be sup- plemented by examination; and it has issued certificates based on ihe diplomas of legally- chartered medical institutions in good standing to 9,212 practitioners, and to 2li3 others on diplomas supplemented by examination. These last (the 2(i3) have only been issued since the enforcement of the Schedule of Minimum Reauirements; that is, to graduates of the Bessions since 1882-83. Of the total number of applicants for certificates on diplomas, 2,283 were rejected or withdrew their applications, or were unal^lo to complete them, or in some other manner fai'ed to comply with the reauirements of the law; and these, as a rule, either abandoned Sractioe or left the State. In a number of cases, however, the rejected or defective oandi- ates subsequently attended lectures ata reputable medical college, were graduated there- from, and certificates were issued them upon their diplomas. The foregoing figures and comments refer only toappUcants for certificates based upon diplomas, and do not embrace the non-graduates and exempts. Including these the law has applied to a total of 15,283 individuals, exclusive of midwives. Of this number there are now in practice in the 8 ate, in round numbers, about ti.SOO phys'cians, classified as follows: 1. Graduates holding certificates based upon diplomas, licenses oi legally chartered medi- cal institutions in good standing as defined by the Board. 2. Graduates since the session of 1882-83, whose diplomas were required to be supplemented by examination in order to conform to the standard of Minimum llequirements of the Boaeu. 3. Non-graduates who have passed the examination proscribed by the law. 4. Non-graduates by reason of having been engaged in practice in the State upwards of 23 years prior to ^nly 1, 1890. The number of rejected applicants shows a diminution of late years, as the require- ments of the law come to be more clearly defined and more generally understood. For the entire period the percentage of rejections and withdrawals has been 13.7; but during the past two years they have averaged only 8.7per cent.— in 1884 taore were 1171n697 applicants, in 1886 there were 114 in 575 applicants. In 1886 there wore 74 in 514 aiipiicants. In 1887 there were 69 in 523 applicants. In 1888 there wore 50 in 455 applicants. In 1889 there were 60 in 588 appUcants. In rl890 there wore 42 in 583 appUcants. Refusals of certificates are based upon one or more of the following grounds: 1. Failure to present a diploma from a legaUy- chartered medical institution in good standing, as defined by the Boabd. 2. i^ilure to sustain a satisfactory examination sufficiently strict to test the qualifica- tions of the candidate for the privctict ' modicino. 3. Personal or professional anteci jnts, habits or associations, warranting the charge of unprofessional or dishonorable con .ict. 4. Proved Intent to practice in an unprofessional and dishonorable -uannor. as by claiming to cure incurable maladies; to possess unusual skill, experience jr facilities; and similar claims involving deceit and fraud upon the public. The Boabd has revoked 42 certificates for unprofessional and dishonorable conduct Non-gi aduate applicants for license to practice in lUinolH are required to submit to ex- amination in accordance with the following provisions of the ModioHl-l'raotico Act: The State Boabd of Health » * • shall receive through its Secretary applications for certificates and examinations. * • ♦ jf not a graduate, the person practicing medi- cine iu this State shall present himself before said JJoabd, and submit himself to such ex- amination as said Board shall rec^iuiro; and if the e:.;amination be sa isfaotory to the exam- iners, the said Board shall Issue Us certificate in aioordanco with the facts, and the lawful holder of such cortiilcato shall be entitled to aU the i ights and priviiogos heroin mentioned , § 3. ♦ * * It shall prepare three forms of certificates, one for persons in possession of diplomas or licenses; one for candidates examined by the Boabd; and a third for such persons who have been engaged in the practice of medicine for upwards of 23 years, and shall furnish to the county clerks of the several counties a Ust of all persons receiving cer- tificates. S 8. Candidates for examination shall pay a fee of twenty dollars, In advance, which shall be returned to them if a certificate bo refused. § 9. Examinations may be made wholly or in part in writing, and shall be of an ele- mentary and practical chtu-acter, but sufficiently strict to test the qualifications of the candi- date as a practitioner. 35 All examinations of persons not graduates or licentiates must bo made directly by the BoABD, and the certiflcato given by the Boa.bd authorizes the possessor to practice medi- cine and surgery In the State of Illinois. Where the candidates have any special views of theory and practice of medicine, or of therapeutics, respect Is paid to such views, and they are allowed upon request, to appear bpforo individual members of the Board for special examination in such branches. Ex- aminations are conducted in the English language. If made In another language , inter- preters must be furnished at the expense of the applicant.

The persons to whom certificates to practice midwifery were issued, presented diplomas showing graduation in midwifery, or examination before a State Board of Medical Exam- iners, legally constituted as such. Th(! law was so amended by the last legislature as to permit the Board to issue certillcates to those furnishing satisfactory evidence of having passed a satisfactory examination before other state boards with similar Medical Practice Acts. ■■■-•■'J . •■\;.-';. ■-.

Abthur Sweeney, M. D., Secretary. St. Paul, Minnesota. The first report of this Board Issued November 20, 1888, showed that there were In Min- nesota 1,291 practitioners of medicine, 8;!! being physicians, 151 homeopaths. 4t ecleotios and 2()3 unclassified (persons not graduates, but having pro forma cortillcates on account of practice in the state prior to the passage of medical laws.) Under the act of 1883, which granted licenses on presentation of diplomas and which exacted examinations only from non-graduates, 151 licenses were Issuoil during the year from July 1, 1885 to July 1, 188G, and 278 were issued from July 1, 1886, to July 1. 1887, making a total for the two years of 429. Under the law of 1887, which is now in force, 223 candidates have applied for examination, of whom 138 have been licensed and 85 rejc^ctcd— the pfcentage of rejections being 38.08. The small number of applications for examination is due in a large measure to that provision of the law which requires that applicants who graduated later than July 1, 18S7, " must pre- sent evidence of having attended three courses of lectures of at least six months each." This has in a groat degree liept from Minnesota graduates of short- term medical colleges. The olTlcial Register of Physicians shows that tliere are in Minnesota 1,101 practitioners of medicine, of whom 848 are physicians, 15C homeopaths, 38 eclectics and 14!) unolassillod. The number o[ "unclassiflod practitioners has diminished from 351 in 1883 to 203 in 1888, and to 149 in 1890. This is due to thi' f:u3t that the advent of a better educated i " iss of prac- titioners has driven from the SI ,ose irregulars whom the former law permitted to practice without regard to the liiilcations. During the past three years the Board has revoked three licenses, on^ lor drunkenness while in attendance on a person dangerously ill, and two for having presented forged diplomas, and fraudulently obtaining licenses to practice. The Board holds meetings for examination of applicants at the state capitol in St. Paul on the llrst Tuesdays of January, April, July, ana October. No diplomas are recognized by th(> Board, and all candidates must pass a written examination, lasting two and one-half days, in the following subjects: Pracjtice of medioin<', surgery, obstetrics, diseases of women and ohildrin, materia medica and therapeutics, anatomy, physiology, chemistry and toxicology, diseases of the nervous system, ophthalmology, otology, preventive medi- cine, medical jurisprudence, pathology and histology. The rules and regulations governing examinations are as follows: I.— Any applicant for examination and license to practice medicine in this state, who is a graduate of oner fivf years standing before making application for such examination and license, shall be considero i an "old practitioner", and any such applicant who is a graduate of less than five, years shall be considered a "lecent t-'raduate." II.— Applicants who are "old practitioners" shall be required to obtain a minimum marking of not less than sixty -fi,ve per cent, in each of the following subjects: 1 Pra<'tico of Medicine, 2 Practice of Surgery, 3 Materia Medica, 4 Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children, and a minimum marking of not Uiss than thirty-five per cent, in each of the following subjects: 1 Anatomy, 2 Chemistry, 3 Physiology, 4 Pathology, Histology, and Preventive Medicine, 5 Diseases of the Eye and Ear, Medical Jurisprudence. III.— Applicants who are marking of sixtt "recent graduates" shall be required to receive a minimum king of sixty-five per cent, in: 1 Practice of Medicine, 2 Practice of Surgery, 3 Mat- eria Medica, 4 Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children; and a minimum marking of not less than flfty per cent, in each of the following: 1 Anatomy. 2 Chemistry, 3 Physiology, 4 Pathologv, Histology, and Preventive Medicine, 5 Diseases of the Eye and Ear, 6 Medical Jurisprudence. IV.— No applicant shall be issued a license whose general average in all the subjects in which he is examined by this Board is less than sixty-five per cent., one hundred being the highest average possible for any applicant to obtain. v.— Each applicant shall register his or her name opposite a number in a book Kept by the Secretary for that purpose, and shall mark his or her papers with said number, and shall be known to the members of this Board only by said number until his or her papers have been examined and marked. VI.— The marks placed upon papers examined may range from one hundred, the maxi- mum, to zero, the minimum. ^mr " V /. \77 Vn.— Any applicant falHn« to pass an examination satlsfaotory to this Board, and being refusod a lioonse, may present himself or herself at any subseauent reirular meet- ing of said Board and receive another examination. VIII.— All examinations shall be In writing, but taajf, at the discretion of the Board, be supplemented by an oral examination before the Board In those subjects in which applicants have failed to pass an examination satLsfactorv to the Board.

Great Falls, Mont. Ernest Crutchee,M. D., Secretary. The Board consists of seven members appointed by the Governor, for seven years each. It was organized April 2, 1889, since which time— to Nov. 29, 1890— there have been 238 appli- cants for oertlllcates—iiractitionors and midwivjs. Certificates wore issued to 180 prac- titioners and 10 2 mid wives, temporary cerlilleates to 1(> practitioners, and ti to licentiates. In ao cases certificates were refused, and 4 applications were withdrawn. The board has revoked 3 certificates. Section 4 of the Montana Mtsdical Act, requirinj^ not less than three courses of lectures of four months each, prevents the Board's isfsuing cer> tificates on diplomas presented by persons that have taken but two courses of lectures. By a recent resolution of the Board the Secretary! was Instructed to notify the medical colleges of this provision of the law.

Endorsement of Medical Diplomas and Licenses. From July 1, 1890, to Docembor 1, 1890, thi-ro have been presented for endorsement: 90 diplomas oonterrinj^ dogreo of M. D. 4 licensoH to practice medicine. Total, 9-1 credentials; of which 53 have been endorsed, 2 have bean refused endorsement, 7 have been returned without ondorsemont on request of applicants, 32 are held for applicants to comply with loaal requirements. The statistics pive no adequate idea of the work which has been done by the examina- tions department in the endorsement of these diplomas and licenses. It has been neces- sary in the case of each applicant for endorsement, to examine carefully his credentials of preliminary education, and the character and standing of the schools from which they were obtained. We have required each applicant to furnish testimonials of moral character from physicians in good standing. All such testimonials presented have Ijeen investigated, and i wo have diligently endeavored to guard against the licensing of improper persons. Finally, the medical education of each applicant has been subjected to close scrutiny, involving much time and largo correspondence. The law rejiuiring that a record of all endorsements must be kept, we have perfected a system of records \\'horeby the history of each endorsement and all correspondence and documents bearing upon the case, may be obtained at the shortest possible notice. At the same time a glance at the record book will show the exact situation of each applicant for endorsement and the reasons, if any, why his credential has not been endorsed. The care that has been exercised in this work has in some eases resulted in refusal to endorse. There have been various reasons for such refusals. Some applicants were unable to meet the requirements of preliminary education. One instance of apparent attempt at fraud was discovered, the applicant claiming a medical education that he probably had' not received. The diplomas of some medical sctiools wo have ileclined to consider. The seven creden- tials returned by request were so disposed of because applicants found difilculty In meet- ing one or more of the requirements of the present law; thirty-two applications are now being held under consideration for the same cause. There seems to be good ground for the statement that no such careful sci utiny of foreign diplomas and Ho nses has heretofore ex- isted in this state; and it may be assumed that an apphcant whose credentials would have been endorsed without (luostion under the old system would find it more diffleult to obtain such endorsement to-day. Recognizing the grave responsibility pla'-'od upon It by this law, the examinations department has endeavored so 'o co-operate with the StJite Boards of Medical Examiners tliiit the endorsement of the Regents of the University placed upon a credential should be a guarantee th it its possessor is in all respects a proper person to practice medicine In the state of New York. 2. Examinati07i of Medical Students. These examinations are condu -ted under the authority of chapter 468, laws of 1889 as amended by chapter 499, laws of 18;h). liis law provides that before the trustees of any medical school or college within this st.. < shall confer the degree of doctor of medicine on any person, they shall require such person to tile with the secretary or recording officer of the college, a regents' medical student certificate. To obtain thiS' certificate the student must, 1. Hold the degreee of A. B. ; A. M.; B. S.; M. S.; Ph. B., or Ph. D. ; or, 2. Passlthe required regents' examination: or. 3. Possess equivalent qualifications. This law took effect Juno 13, 1889. The following are the statistics tor the years 1889-90: Number of examinations 14 candidates exainln<^d 265 papers accepted 878 ' ' papers rejectee 1 386 Total number of papers written l,2fio Per cent of papers rejected 30 Number of pass-cards written 878 certificates written 491 Total number of medical student cei tiflcates to date 50& Of which there have been Issui-d on studies passed In special examinations 78,=13 per cent- On studies passed in schools (7, 8 and 10) llo,=22 per cent.

He is also the proprietor and physician of the Medical and Surgical Institute and Sanitarium, located at 120 Pearl street, Buffalo. Note:— In the exposure made by the Boston Herald ot the work of Dr. Bradbury, of Nashua, N.

"In tho regular ranks much opposition has been ongf nrlered to tho bill by the use of the terms 'allopath' and 'allopathic' Hence, I would HUggost the propriety of amending the act by Rtrifcing out the words 'allopath' and 'allopathic,' wherever they may occur, and Inserting tho word 'regular.' Sec. I of the act mi^ht be further amended with advant- age bv adding another clause at the end of s.dd section as lollowa: 'Provided that after Jan. lat, 1892, no certifloHte Hhall be issued to any one wiihout an examination by the Board •• as to his flinoss to practice medicine and its kindred branches, surgery and obstetrics, In the State'." Amend Sec. Ill by striking out after the expression "in good standing" tho clause commencing with "and" and ending with "Association." The object of this amendment is to leave the matter of colleges whose diplomas are to be recognized to be determined by the Board, surrounded by umlta^ions as to the diflfercnt "isms" as provided by.the rest of the act, so as to conform to Section I. , At the end of Sec. Ill add as follows: "Provided, that from and after J m. 1st, 1892, all paites sha'' be require. I to undergo a satisfactory examination in the presence of the whole Board as to their lltness to practice medicine." Sec. IV should be amended so us to change tho expression "three months" into "six months," so as o make See. IV conform to Sec. V as to the length of time a rejected ap- pUcant must wait before he can at ply for re-examination. Sec XII should be amedded so as to fix the price of a certificate issued by the Board at five dollars instead of one dollar— to attain that end strike out the expression "one dollar" where it ilrstappears in said section and insert "five dollars." Add also at the end of Sec. XII as follows: "In addition to all other fees, a fee of 25 cents shall be paid by the applicant for regisiration, to th • secretary of the Board, for issu- ing and reeordmg any ceitillcate. Also amend by allowing per diem to members of the Board for the whole time of necessary absence from homo in attendance on the meetings- counting the time of tho shortest route going and coming. Sections XIII and XIV should both be amended so as to make any violation of either or both a niisdemeauor punishable by fine Ic - the first offense and by lino or imprisonment or bithfor siibse(iuetit offenses; the imprisonment to be at the discretion of the court, and to be in the county jail not less than one nor more than ten months. The fine in every case, if collected in money, should be paid over to tho Board of Medical Examiners to be used by them, as are ail other funds coming into their hands. This would (if the amendments are adopted) eliminate the matter of "action of debt" from tlie act and enable the Board to force a compliance with its provisions. The remain- iuR portion of the section should not be changed. Sec. XVI should he amended by inserting after the words "by them" the following elausii "or by the county coiu-t clerk of any county in tlu! State of T«!nnessee," to carry out an idi^a alrea ly advanced. Then there should lie added after section 17 a ninv section IT'-j as follows : Sec. 1734. Bo it further enacted, that inauisitorial powers are hereby given to grand juries, and it is made their duty to inquire into all violations of this act and to make pre- sentmiaits for the same. Of the 3,201 practitioners registered in Tennessee up to April, 1890, there were 1,658 graduates of med cal schools. These were (list libuted by schools of practice as follows: Physicians l,f)78.

Riplet Bbadbuby, I^an, 71 Comhill, Boston, Mass. iNcorPOBATED 1889. Fraudulent. An application was made by a Buffalo practitioner for membership in a local association of physicians in that city by presenting a diploma bearing the seal of this university. Suspicion was aroused, and it was soon learned that the institution was nothing more than a "mill," which ground out degrees to order;* and that there were also departments of dental surgery, law and the liberal arts provided for by this so-called university. A hardware dealer in Buffalo, who had never spent an hour in the study of medicine, obtained a diploma dated May 27, 1889, from this "College of Medicine and Surgery," receiv- Ingthe same by express, paying sixty dollars on delivery. The diploma was signed by P. R. Bradbury as dean, and G. Wilmont Averoll. LL. D., as president, and sent by Dr. Brad- bury from Nashua, N. H. The names of some of the incorporators of this university appear as Incorporators of the University of Now Hampshire at Nashua, which see.

Its articles declare that the association is for the dissemination of sanitary and moriieal Knowledge and preparation of both sexes for teach- ing and practicing the art of healing and preservation of health. Dr. Dutton attaches great importance to tlio study of hygiene, and claims that if people would live up to his teachings no one would bo sick. Instruction of all pupils is given at Boston. In the spring of 1889, the class, mostly women who live in and around Boston, went to Rutland, where graduating exercises were held and diplomas granted, and, after remaining there a day, turned to Boston.t It is undo' stood that forty-two diplomas have been granted to those now practicing in various sections of the country. Some of the diplomas have been prosanted to the Board of Censors of the State Medical Society of Vermont, in order to obtain oertirtcatos to prac- tice raedioino in that State, as required by law. Application for certificates was denied and suit brouglit to compel recognition of the school. Judge Powers, of Vermont, decided that this college had no authority to grant diplomas, entitling the holders i hereof to practice medicine. An sippeal was taken to the Supreme Court, in the case of the sister of the Dean, and decision of lower court affirmed. ♦Boston Herald.

JWhv were not the graduating exercises of this class held in Boston, and diplomas of tke First Medical College of the America n Health Society, Boston, conferred In that city?

Thursday, November 6, 1890. The Manchester (N. H.) f'^nton, November 8, 1890, also published the exposure. The Secretary of this concern, who fleures in the "Board of Trustees"- as W. S. Cowan, and in the list of professors as "Watson 8. Cowan, M. D., Prof, of Surgery." graduated in 1889 from the American Eclectic Medical ("'olleKe, Cincinnati, Ohio, wliose diplomas are not recognized by the Illinois State Boabd of Health because the school has been found issuing diplomas in an irregular r-.anner. Cowan is in the list of matriculates of this col- lege for 1888-89, as "W. 8. Cow..ii. Ohio;" in the list of graduates. 1888-89, as "Watson 8. Cowan, Vermont," and his name is in Polk's "Directory" as Watson 8. Cowan, a regular physician of Haverhi 1, N. H. According to the Boston Hurald he was born at Lowell, Ver- mont. Hiram A. C tting, "Ph. D., M. D., I'rof. of Microscopical Anatomy," is given in Polli's Directory as living at Lunen burgh, Vt., and as a graduate cf Dartmouth Medical College in 1870. According to the Boston Herald he was at one tlrtiO Stati ideologist of Vermont. The name of Charles N. Fox, "Prof, of Theory and Practice o* Medi< me and Clinical Medi- cine," is not in Polk's Directory, though the Boston Herald locates him at East Corinth, Vt. Bassil D. Henderson, "M. D., L.L. B., Prof, of Materia Medic.v and Toxicology," figures in the announcement of the American Eclectic Medical College, Cincinnati, for 1890-91, as a matriculate m 1890-91, and also as a graduate in 1889-iH)! He is .jaid to be practicing law in Cummington, Ky. His name is not in Polk's Directory. Eiward R. Clark, Professor of Ana omy is in Polk's Directory as a graduate of Dartmouth Medical College in 1885, and as Sracticing as a "regular" physician at East Arlington, Vt. Augustus C. Foxier, "Ph.

In *^q list of matriculates of the American Eclectic Medical College for 1888-89. his renidoncu is given as "Louisa.," and in the list of graduates of 1889, he figures as having received an ad eundum ' degree. G. Is. Hatch, Protessorof Obstftrics and Gynecology, has a diploma from the Ameri- can Ecb'ctic Medical College. His name is in the list of graduates of 1888-89, as "George B. Hatch, Vermont," though ho does not figure as a matriculate in any previous year. He is in Polk's Directory as "Hatch, George B., (R.), Med. Coll. of Ohio, 1881. Mem. Vt, State Med. 8oc."* His name is not in the lists of graduates or matriculates of the Ohio Medical Col- lege since 1880. He is the acknowledged founder of the Union Medical Institute, formu- lated the plans, drew up the articles, prepared the catalogue and was to be the dean. A few years ago he was in the lumber business in Groton, Vt. J. B. K. Evins. Professor of Chemistry and "Lecture on the Eye and Ear," is in Polk's Directory as J. B. Kepler Evans, WlUiamstown, Ohio, a graduate of the American Eclectic Medical College in 188!». In the 1889-90 announcement of tins college he is in the lists of matriculates and gr.aduates of 1888-89 as J. B. K. Evans and J. B. Kepler Evans. "C. E. George, L.L. B., Professor of Medical Jurisprudence," says the Boston Herald, "has gained some notoriety as a reporter on New England and Canadian papers, but among those who know him his name will not add to the pubhc confidence in the Union Medical Institute." As to 8. A. Blodgett, M. D., Demonstrator of Anatomy "and Register," the Herald s&ys: "The most convincing evidence of fraud is in^heuame of 8eth A, Blodgett, M. D., who is a telegraph operator at Woodsville. That he is in no manner entitled to this degree iind a graduate of no medical college every one in this vicinity admits, Why and for what reasi^n is name should appear under such a ti !e, and as 'demonstrator' of so important a branch in medicine as anatomy, no one can tell. In the position he occupl s— that of a telegraph operator— he is reliable, honest and of eo«.d reputation. Why should his name appear In the catalogue ? He studied medicine under Dr. G. B. Hatch less than ayenr. His funds having given out he was obliged to return to telegraphing." Of the foregoing A. C. Fowler, W. 8. CoWrin and G.B. Hatch figure in the "Board of Trustees." Horace W, Bailey, president of the board, is a grocer, the town clerk and a newspaper correspondent of Newbury. t 'Phe oihor truttees were Timothy Welch, a farmer at Groton: E. P.

Follansbee,+ the chieiclerk of P. A. Merrill, and AL E. Hatch, the wife of G. B. Hatch, The plan of the institution was unfolded to H. W. Bailey in 1883 by G. B. Hatch, who said that the Montebello Sulphur Springs property could be bough* at a reasonable price, that it would make "a most excellent place in which to start a medical college," and that a gentleman in the south was interested in the matter and would buy the property if a cor- poration was chartered under the laws of the State," Bailey placed his name upon the petition for a charter, which contained the signatures of Timothy Welch, 8.

Although there were three well equipped newspaper oflBees within a radius of eight miles, the place evid'^ntly considered most appropriate for issuing a catalogue of this nature was found nearly 20 miles distant, at Warren Summit, N. H., a station on the Concord & Mon- treal railroad, of no importance except in the winter, when lumbering is carried on, and containing but half a dozen stragling houses. Here an honest boy amateur printer son of the station agont, who is also postmaster and merchant, had a press, and was following In the steps of the great Franklin in this secluded spot at the base of Mt. Moosi- lauke, Circulars and catalogues of this nature could be issued here without the probability of their authorship being discovered." (Boston Herald.) The catalogue was sent out secretly, and very few of the residents of Newbury had ever heart of tne institution until it was exposed, nor had the neighboring practitioners heard of it. The surreptitious manner in which the strong evidence of fraud. A trustee admits about Newbury, but west and at a distance, gether and then open a college building. H new enterprises, but here is one where fev and to many this exposure will be a remind culation which has characterized the whole circulars and catalogues were distributed is that it was not the intention to circulate them with the intention of bringing a large class to- ome patronage is usually catered to in most all of the town residents oven knew of the affair, ■r of the adroitness, scheming and shrewd oal- affalr. A postmaster of a neighboring town when interrogated as to whether mail matter was sent by Dr. O. B. Hatch, remarked: "There was some; might have been 25 letters in all; might nave been more than that or loss than that." "As soon as the catalogues (300 in number) were issued, about a dozen were sent to Dr. Hiram A. Cutting, professor of microscopical chemistry, who is known to have circulated a gortion of thom. It would be no difficult matter to prove that several catalogues have een sent through the mails. "It ia the general opinion that diplomas are being sold in the West, and one prominent business man made the statement: 'It is susceptible of proof that two diplomas nave been sold for $50 apiece.' This rumor came from a direct source and can be verified in every par . ioular."— (Boston Herald.)* The correspondent of the Manchester Union was informed "by a reputable citizen of Haverhill, N. H.j that he had seen one of the printed diploma blanks, notwithstanding the report that there were none in existence." C. E. Caswell, the boy printer at Warren Summit, said that the catalogue was printed In the spring of I88i). and was delivered June 1. He thought it was all right, but he 'was not acquainted with the parlies. "Hatch had been corresponding with mo for six months. He first asked the price tor printing lOOtt catalogues, and. after much talk, agreed on 300, for which he was to pay 87." Caswell's word is substantiated by his parents. Casweil said, when asked what Hatch said: "He told me I had better not say anything, but keep it quiet." The catalogue says : "Newbury Private Hospital will bo open to the students of this college." There is nor and never was such a hospital of any doscriiition. It also states that al! the examinations fur the graduation arc held in the college building, arc conducted in writing and take place at commencement. The people of Newbury know of no such place as the oollej-e ouilding. Attention wd first called to this bogus concern by thelLMNOis State Boabd of VIRGINIA. MEDICAL EXAMINING BOABD OF VIRGINIA.

"It has been our unpleasant duty on 'several occasions to hovo to discipline colleges for violation of thoir published schedule of requirements for graduation, In the eases of West Virginia students. The llrst case was that of an Ohio medical ooII»'bo, in which we were sustained not only bv the profossion of our owu state, but by other state boards of health, medical oollenos, and tho profession Konerally. In subsequent cases wo havo had but very little trouble, aa oolloKes that h vo placed thomHoives under tho l)an aro only too glad to have the matter rectiUed, and aro willing to do almost anything wh(m caught. As the guar- dians of tho public health, we are frequently called upon to investigate the cause of epi- demics in different parts of tho state. "Wo aro at this time making a special effort to prevent the pollution of our running streams by sewage, etc., and at tho same time to call to the attention of the public tho great danger necessarily connected with such pollution. Tho noopiu once aroused, i he applica- tion of the r'3m"t!y will be easy. A case in point is that of our Asylum for tho Insano, from whi'h 300,000 gallons of siwage are dally thrown Into the West Fork Kiver, which stream, tw jnty miles below, becomes he source of water supply for tho flourishing town of Clarks- bur g. Our lnvestiK.'!tion and report to tho legislature satisfled thorn that there was danger to tne public health in the present arrangement for the disposal of the sewage of the asylum; they therefore promptly made tho noooasary appropriation for the correction of the evil. "The legislature of 1><86 paused an act making It t'-je duty of tho State Board of Health ^i collect vital statistics. In tnis wo havo been butiartially succossfid; each new innovation requiies time for Its perfecting, and this now laXor imposed upon the Board has been no e;roeption to the rule.

As they neooHHitatc a year'H further study than is now oompulHory, the various examining bodies In the kingdom will durint; the next year be obl'^ud to alter thulr uurrloula of study and their oxaminatiunB so aa to oonform thereto. PRorH^sioNAii Education.— 1. "The course of professional study after roRlstratlon ■hould occupy at least live yjars. conditional!/." 2. "The first four of the llvo years should bo passed at a Hchool or schools of medicine recognized by any of the llcenslue bodies mentioned In H(!hodulo A of the Medical Act (1858), provided that the first year may bo passod at a university or teaohluB Institute. rocoRnizod by any of the licenalnji bodies, where the subjects of physics, chemistry and biology are taught." 3. "Graduates In arts or science of any university recognized by the Medical Council who shall have spent a year in the study of physics, chemistry and biology, and have Eassed an examination in these subjoots for the degrees In question, should be hold to ave completed the flrst of the five years of medical study." 4. "The fifth year should be devoted to clinical work at one or more of Huch nubile hos- pitals or dispensaries, Uritlsli or foreign, aH may be rei-ognized by any of tno medical authorities montlouod in Schedule A of the Medical Act (1858). provided that of this year six months may bo passed as a pupil to a registered praotltlonor holding a public appoint- ment, or possessing such opportunities of imparting practical knowledge as shall be satis- factory to the medical authorities." 5. "The regulations of the examining bodies, and of the schools, should be so framed that attendance on systematic courses may be concluded at the end of the fourth year of study, so as to permit of tho student devoting the fifth year to clinical work, as denned In Resolution -4." 6. "The regulations requiring attendance on systematic courses of lectures ought not to require attendance on more than three lectures weekly In any one course." 7. "Due time should bo set aside for prai'tlcal work in the various subjects. Attend- ance on a practical course should bo carefully ascertained and certified. By a practical course is understood one in which work Is done by the student himself, under the direction of a duly qualified teacher." 8. "In order to promote a practical system of clinical teaching, the regulations should specify 'hospital practice with clinical instruction." Ample riino should bo set aside for hospital work, and moans should be taKon to asortain regularity of attendance in the wards and out patient di'partmonts. Every candidate for tho llnal professional examina- tion at the end of the fifth year should be required to give evidence that ho has had suffi- cient opportunities of practical study." This resolution relates to such offices as the following: Clinical nodical clerkship and surgical dressorship— either for in- or out-patients; obstetrical cloikshlp; post-mortem clerkship. 9. "No qualification In medicine ought to be structlon in infectious diseases." granted without evidence of clinical in- '"mi ■ .a'.'''..'. ■ I sf Pbofesbional Examination.— 10.

"Tho examination in the elements of physios (including mechanics), chemistry and biology should be passed before the beginning of the second winter session." 12. "Antecedent to tho final examination, there should be three professional examina- tions, arranged In such manner as to secure duo continuity and sequence of study." 13. "All tho fxaminatlons, except the final examination In medicine, surgery and mid- wifery, shoulii bo passed before tho final year Intended for clinical work." 14. "Tho llnal examination in medicine, surgery and midwifery must not be passed be- fore the close of the fifth year of medical study." 15. "Tho system of compensation as between the three different subjects of the quali- fying examinations— viz., medicine, surgery and midwifery— is contrary to tho intention of tho Medical Act (188(i), ami tho Council directs tho attention of tho several medical authr- ities to this fact." IG. "The marks for the written and oral examinations in medicine and surgery at the final oxaminution should not exceed those for the clinical and practical portions of the ex- amination." 17. "Seeing that tho practice of dlfCoront authorities varies on tho question whether a student who fails to satisfy the oxarainers in each of tho several subjects of modioiiie, sur- gery and mid ivifi'ry should bo referred on all of them, or only on those in which ho falls, the Council recommends that somci general principle should bo adopted with reference to this question; and sugaesiH that a pc^reentase of not loss than 60 marks on i^ach of any two subjects-supposing that tho pass requliement bo 50 per cent.— should exempt from re- examination in those two subjects." lt>. "The Council recommends to the examining bodies tho use of a percentage system of marks; an , for- the facilitating the work of the inspectors appointed by the Council, tli3 adoption of a uniform pa.ss mark of 50 per cent."

I. -^^'>~ t,'- dru^rs. The eligibility of the candidate for adralBslon into the sorvlco Is determined hf the result of this part of the examination. Tlie voluntary Rubiocts are French, Crorman, com- parative anatomy, zoology, natural philosophy, physical Reography, and botany, witn espeoial reference to materia medlca, and for the Indian service Hindustani. Although the results of the examination on voluntary subjects do not alTect the question of the olieibillty of the candidate for a oommisslon, thoy influence his position on the lists, which is de- termined by the numbers obtained under the two heads conjointly. After having passed this examination, the successful candidates for both services are sent to the Army Medical School at Netley as "surgeons on probation" with the rank of lieutenant, receiving a dally pay of 8.S, and certain allowances, to go through a four months' course of instruction in the special duties required of them in the service. The stalT of the school consists of four pro- fessors, all of them men of ackhowledged »bility and high standing in their special depart- ments. The professorship of mihtary mtdioine is Deputy Surgeon- General Henry Cayley. Surgeon-General Sir T. Longmore, Kt., C. B., is professor of mi itary surgery; Surgeon- Major J. L. Notter, M. 1).. of military hygiene; and Sir W. Aitken, F.R.S., of pathology. To each of these an army medical officer is attached as assistant professor. The lectures on military surgery include gunshot and other wounds, transport of sick and wounded, duties of army medical officers in the fleld, on board troopships and transports, recruiting, and other surgical duties incident to military service. Those on military medicine treat of tropical and other diseases to which soldiers are exposed in the course of their service, the mortality and invaliding by disease, in peace and war, at home and abroad, management of lunatics under the conditions of military service. &c. The course of hygiime comprises the examination of wate and air, the general principles of diet, with tlie quality and adultera- tions of food and bf vorages, the sanitary requirements of barracks, hospitals, and camps, the clothing, duties, and exercises of the soldiers, and the circumstances affecting hirf health with the best means of preventing disease, and instruction in the mode of preparing the various statistical and other returns required of the medical ofHcor. The surgeons on, probation are detailt'd for duty inthe wards of the hospital, under the professors and assist- ant professors of medicine and surgery. Here thoy are taught practically the details of the management of patients in a military hospital, the registration of their diseases, the duties of invaliding, the modes of filling up the regulation statistical returns and other service documents. The surgeons on probation are provided with (luarters, and are members of the excellent mess established at Netloy. After having passed through the course of in- struction they are examined on the subjects taught in the school, and their position on ti.o Ust recommended for commissions is determined by the combined results of the competitive and flnal examinations. At the close of each session Ave prizes are awarded: the Herbert prize of £20 to the surgeon on probation who has obtained the highest number of marks at the London and Netley examinations conjointly ; the Parkes memorial bronze medal to the one who gains the highest number of marks in the examina- tion on hygiene at Netloy, combined with those given for the answers to a special question set on the same subject; the Martin memorial gold medal to the highest number of marks in the final examination on military medicine, with the addition of those gained for a special question connected with it; the Monteflore gold modal and £21, awarded in the same man- ner for military surgery; and the Monteflore second prizi-, consisting of works on miUtary surgery, to the surgeon on probation who obtains the second highest number in this branch. The surgeons of the British medical service at the close of the Netley oourses of instruc- tion pass on to Aldershot, where they go through a systematic course of insLruotion in ambulance drill and equitation. The surgeons of the Indian medical service, who do not go to Aldershot, undergo, while at Netley, a special course of instruction in ambulahce drill and duties. Surgeons are promoted to be surgeons-major on completing twelve years' full pay service, of which three must have been abroad. Before being promoted they will be required to pass an examination. This examination is mtended to test the progress and profloiency of a surgeon in all those branches of knowledge which are essential to his con- tinued efficiency as a medical officer, and may bo taken at any time after his seventh year of service. The examination in medicine and surgery will be held by two gentlemen ap- pointed by the Secretary of State; that in hygiene by the professor of hygiene. Army Medi- cal School, Netley ; and that in regulations, duties, military law, &o., by an administrative medical officer, nominated for the purpose by the Director-General. Theexamlnation will embrace the following subjects: a. Surgery and surgical anat- omy, b. Medicine and pathology, o. Hygiene, within the limits treated of in "Parkes" Practical Hvgiime;' also the regulations regarding the sanitation of garrisons, quarters, hospitals, etc., as well as ot camps and hospitals in the field, and of transports, troops and hospital ships, d. Duties of medical officers at home and abroad, and at sea, as deflned In regulations; also hospital organization and adminiHtratiop in peace and war, including the transport of sick and wounded by land and sea. e The a'lminlstration, interior economy, command and discipline of the medical staff corps, together with a knowledge of the principles of military law and their practical application (unless a certificate ot pro- ficiency in mditary law has been obtained at a garrison class.) A certificate will be re in which it may be considered necessary for the interest of the public serv- ice to keep a surgeon-general on full pay, the age of retirement may be extended to sixty- two. The regulations above noted, respecting the promotion of surgeonss and surgeons- major are eciiially applicable to the Indian medical service, except that a surgeon may be promoted to the rank of surgoon-major at less than twelve years' service, should the Secre- tary of State for India, on the recommendation of the Viceroy, consider such promotion to be for the good of the s(!rvice. The conditions of admission Into the Naval Medical Service aro the same as those for the Army; but the candidate is also required to declare his readiness to engage for general service, and to proceed on duty abroad whenever ■(■eauirod to do so. After having passed the oompetitlvo examination in London the successful candidate will receive a commission as surgeon in the Royal Navy, "and will undei go a course of practical instruction in naval hygiene at Haslar Hospital." Surgeons are promoted to staff surgeons after twelve years from ihe date of entry, provided they pass the re(iuisito examination; and staff snrgeous to Hoot surgeons after twenty years service, if recommended by the Director-General. Deputy inspectors-gen- eral are promoted by selection from the fleet surgeons, and inspectors-general from the deputy inspectors-general having three years' foreign, four years' mixed, of which not less than two have been abroad, or five years home service in such appointments as preclude foreign service provided they have not refused to go abroad wlien called upon to do so. Inspectors and deputy inspectors-general are retired compulsorily at sixty, and other grades at fifty-five years of age, and all ranks at any time if they have not served for five years. In calculatmg service for retirea pay, time on half-pay will be taken as equivalent to one-third service on full-pay. INSTITUTIONS THAT DO NOT GKANT DEGREES. I.

Affords excep- tional advantages for clinical instruction. PRELIMINARY EDUCATION IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES.* As the subject of the preliminary education of medical students has recently been under discussion in various quarters, it may not bo unprofitable to glance at the systems and re- QUirements of foreign countries as regards this matter. In order that some kind of a comparison may be made between foieign and British ex- aminations, we give the programme of the Medical Council now in force for the preliminary examination. The subjects are; 1. English language, including grammar and composi- tion. 2. Latin, including grammar, translation from specified authors, and translation of easy passagr •'ot taken from such authors. 3. Mathematics, (a) arithmetic, including vulgar and r actions, (6 algebra, including simple eauations, (c) geometry, includ- ing the flrs' SucHd. with easv questions ou the subject matter of the same. 4. Ele- menta y of solids iind fluids, comprising the elements of statics, dynamics, and hydro is subject may be posponed until the next examination.) 5. One of the follf ual subjects: (o) Greek, (h) French, (c) German, (d) Italian, (e) any other moi ja^e. (/) logic, {g) botany, (/i) zoology, (i) elementary chemistry. The above is of C lO minimum, and is represented more or loss accurately by such examinations as ti». Jid by the Apothecaries' Hall and by the second class College of Preceptors' exam- ination. About half of tho total number of students who register annually have passed an examination of this class. A large number of medical students, however, pass an arts examination of a somewhat higher class, of which the matriculation examination of the University of London or the senior local examinations of Oxford or Cambridge may be taken as types. The subjoota for the London matriculation are— 1. Latin; translation from selected authors and of easy passages from other bocks., grammar, and oa.sy sen'ences to be translated into Latin. 2. One other language: Greek, French, Gorman, Sanskrit, or Arabic— grammar, and trans- lation into Englisn only. 3. English language, Enghsh history, and tho geography relating • From the London Lancet, September C, 1890, and Borners' "Roichs-Medioinal-Kalen- dar." 1889. y .'/' 'i'<' 205 thernto. 4.

Uathor Iohh than 1,000 students present oertiflcatus of an examination of thiH olaHH at roKlstratlon In uaoh year. ' "• Examlnat Ions of a Htll) hlghor order art) now passed b v an InorniisInK number of students. In thoHe wo may (Mass the B. A. deffroo of Oxford and Oambrldne, anil the Intermediate B. A. examination in London. The Hubjeots for the latter, whleh, as will be M(!en later on, eorroHpondH sonu'wliiit with several of the continental inininium examinatioim for raedioal students are— 1. I/atin; translations of selected and non-seleoted authors, grammar, and short passages to be translated Into Latin: Iloman history. 2. Greek; i;''<^Q>ii>&>°> and translation from a short selected author. 3. KngllHli lanRuage, fomposition, Htorature.and history. 4. French or German: grammar and tran.ilation into English. 5. Mathematics; arilhmetlo; algebra to the theory of Indices and FiOKarltlims: fieometry, plane and Holid, with the elenumts of coordinate geometry ; trlKonomotry. Thi< number of students who present proof of a prellmhiary education of this class annually is considerably under lUO, t liough, of course, an app* lolable number subseauently pass hiKher examinations. It is very dirtloult to gauue the severity of an examination from a prospectus, however detailed. With reeard to the minimum. It may be mentioned as a guide that it is quite commonly passtut by boys between fourteen and llfteen of no special ability, and that all the subjectH except I,alln could be paHSod by the brighter lads in the beventti standard In many or the London Board Schools. In a few such schools the Latin itself could also bo achieved, and it must be remembered that even in the others several subjects are taught, such as geographv, ndiglous knowledge, and drawing, which are not required, so that it may fairly t)0 said that a moileratoiy intelligent lad of, say, fourteen years of age, who has passed creditably through a Board School, has as much education as is demanded from a medical student. The (luostion as to the sufficiency of this is dioussed in another ;"ige. There Is no doubt that ft is far less than is required by any other European country, most of which insist upon a long school course, llnlshlng up with an examination equivalent to that for the B. A. degree In many universities, and Including a greater multiplicity of com- palaory subjects than Is to be found in the programme of even the London matriculation. In comparing Oontinontnl examinations with British it should be marked that where- as with us the exuminers are usually entire strangers to the candidates, abroad pupils are much more commonly examined by their own teiwhers, with, perhaps, an official or gov- ernment inspector as a kind of assessor. For this reason tne British system Is the more difficult and the more uncertain of the two. In France there are two grades of medical practitioners— viz., Bocteur en Medecine and Ufficier de Sante. The latter is likely to be abolished shortly. The preliminary educa- tion required for the lower grade is very moderate. The examination includes a knowledge of Latin or one modern language; a piece of easy prose composition has to be written and an author translated, the standard oxneote.l to be attained being that of " the fourth form." There are also French, arithmetic an-, , ,. .^^■V'v ••/.!• 206 ^;'^: Dnlversitv. It Is, however, probably, on the whole, as difficult as the intermediate B. A and the matriculation examinations taken together, and it certainly requires a much better knowledge of Latin than even the tlnal B.A. examination in London. A boy of moderately good ability who has gone through school satisfactorily is not expected to be able to paaa the A biturienten Examen until he la eighteen or nineteen years of age. In Austria the Maturitdtsvrnfung or Matura examination, which admits to university matriculation, is passed at a classical gymnasium, and is very similar to Xhn Abituriente.n Examen in Germany, at least in the German parts of Austria. The course at the gymna- sium cannot be commenced before ten years of age, and requires eight years. In Russia the examination at the end of the eight years' public school course is some- what similar to the German Ahiturienten Examen; but more stress is laid on modern lan- guages, a thorough knovvledgeof German and French being required. Both Latin and Greek are necessary, but perhaps not quite to the same extent as in Germany. In Italy a person desiring to commence the study of medicine at any of the numerous universities must &how that Tie has passed through an eight years' course of study at school— that is to saw five years in a (rinnasto and three years in a Llceo. Both Greek and Latin must be studied, but in the ilnal examination for the Licema liceale, which cor- responds somewhat to the French Baccalaui-eat es Lettres; Greek is not compulsory. French, too. Is taught in the Ginnasio, but not in the Liceo, and so does not enter into the flial examination. A good knowledge of Latin is required, including several authors and both prc-i and verse composition. A considerable amount of history, geography and Italian rature is required. In mathemetics, algebra is required to logarithmB and quadri. , equations, Euclid to the sixth tiook (including the fifth), plane trigonometry and conic sections, also mechanics. In science, elementary physics, chemistry, and natural history are necessary. In Switzerland several Latin authors are required, Livy, Cicero, Vi. gil, with some parts of Horace, and Plautus. The Greek authors are Homer, Xenophon, and portions of Plato, and Sophocles. Greek may, however, be omitted if English or a third Bwiss lan- guage is taken. A full examination in the literature of the native language must bo passed, and a good knowledge of, with ability to write and speak, a second Bwiss language is re- quired. Acquaintance with ancient and modern history with geography is necessary. In mathematics, aigfbi a is required to the binomial with positive indices; also geometry, plane trigonometry, conies, and the rudiments of spherical trigonometry. In addition to these subjects, there is an elementary examination in natural science, embracing me- chanical and natui al philosophy, chemistry and natural h'story. This examination may be compared to the matriculation and intermediate B. A. examinations of the University of London taken together. In Belgium, where a satisfactory leaving certificate from school is not produced, a stu- dent must pass an examination comprising— 1. The principles of rhetoric. 2. Translation , into French oi i'lemish of a Lai In author. 3. Translation of a Flemish, German, or English author, at the candidate's choice. 4. An essay in French or Flemish. 6. Arithmetic. 6. Algebra, including progressions and logarithms. 7. Plane geometry, and the elements of geometry of three dimensions. 8, Geography. !). The history of Belgium, 10. The princi- pal facts of ancient, medi.'uval and modern history. In addition to those subjects the gov- ernment may prescribe translation from Greek into French or Flemish. In Holland any one of the following three examinations Is accepted— 1. The examina- tion for promotion from the fourth to to the nfth form of a gymnasium or classical school. 2. The "feftving" examination at the end of a real or modern school course. 3. A special' examination in modern subjects without Latin or Greek. It wiU be noticed that Holland is the only country in Europe in which a complete license to practice can be obtained without a knowledge ot Latin. A candidate who commences medical study after a non-classical examination can only pi ooeed to the diploma of Arts or medical practitioner. For the de- gree of Doctor of Medicine a classical school must have been gone through. In Sweden, Norway, and Finland, besides the leaving certificate from school, a course of at least a year and an examination in mental and moral science at the University is re- quired before a student is allowed to enter on the study of the sciences preliminary to medl- oiue. In Denmark the Examen Philosophicum, which used to be necessary, has' now been abolished. In Spain the degree of Bachelor of Letters and Arte is required, and in addition a fuller examination in physics, chemistry, and natural history, together with elementary German, For the BachiUerato the subjects required are Spanish, Latin, geography, rhetoric and Soetry, arithmetic and algebra, geometry and trigonometry, French, nistory (general and panish), and the rudiments of pnysics, chemistry, human physiology, and agriculture. In Portugal a six years' coui se is required, embracing Instruction and examinations Iq Latin, Greek, French, German, mathematics, geography, history, Portuguese literature, drawing and elementary physics, chemistry, natural history, and mental philosophy. In Brazil the candidate lor the study of medicine must pass an examination in the nat- ural sciences and in languages. * In Chili the candidate must have passed the six years' course in a lyceum for the degree of Bachelor. In Cuba the candidate must hold the Bachelor's degree before beginning the study of medioine. } 'SyV- 'S-' mmm •: I •■■v-A"' A' "J- 'J 207 z' , In Uruguay each oandidafe for the study of medicine must have the title B. 8c. etL., the examination for which corresponds to the German Abiturientenoxamen. ■ i Sf!'- ''■'' ' '' FOREIGN GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS. .

The following in regard to education and exmainations in Germany is taken from Dr. Henry Hun's "Gfuide to American Medical Students in Europe"; New York: William Wood &0o. The student who wishes to educate himself for the medical profession, must devote eight semesters to medical study, and must previously have passed through the gymnas- ium. The first four semesters must be devoted exclusively to physics, chemistry zoology, botany, mineralogy, anatomy and physiology. At the end of these four semesters the stu- dent may pass his first examination (tcntamen physicum). With the fifth semester com- mences his purely medical studies, which must be continued without interruption for two years, and then the student may pass the state examination (Das medicinsoho Staatsexa- men d. h. die arzthclie Approbationspriifung). The university examination (Doctor-exam- ine) can be passed either aiter or before the state examination. The following is a list of the studies recommended and the number of semesters during which each one should be studied, and also the proper semester in which each should be studied.

A very similar plan of studv is recommended by the University of Berlin. The state examination can be passed either before the chief examininK committee In Berlin or before special examining commitotes which are annually appointed for the differ- ent universities. The application for permission to pass the state examination is to be made either to the Minister of Medical Affairs in Berlin or to the curator of the university at which the s udent wishes to pass the examination. The application Is to be accompanied by certificates that the stiidont has completed a full course of study in the gymna^^ium and in a university, that he has successfully passed the Tentamen physicum and that ho has acted as practicant during at least two semesters both In a medical and in a surgical clinic, and that he has attended at least four cases of midwifery in the obstetrical clinic. The examinations are held at any date between November of one year and July of the noxt, and the examination of ench student extends over many days and Is divided into five parts: 1, anatomy, physiology and pathological anatomy; 2. surgery and opthalmology; 3, medical; 4. obstetrical and gynecological; 5, final examination. The examination in anatomy Is divided into two parts. At the f rst the candidate draws by lot a question In osteology and another about the viscera, and he^.^ -•■imnT" ""foi- ^em- onatrate the corresponding preparation which Is handed to him. He Is lut.. given some nervous preparation which ho must take away and dissect and demonstrate before the ex- aminers at their second meeting. In the physiological examination the oandidnte must draw by lot two questions, one on histology, the other on physiology, and immediately discuss them (orally). He must pre- pare and demonstrate the histological specimen in the presence of the examiners bo as to show his acquaintance with the microscope. In the pathological examination the candidate must make an autopsy of the whole or at least a part of the body and dictate the results. He must also demonstrate a pathological specimen. In the surgical examination each candidate must take charge of two patients for a week. In the presence of the examiner he must examine the patient and discuss the etiology, diagno-is, prognosis and treatment. Ho must write out a history of i he case and keep a record of it each day. The candidate must also attend the regular morning visits at least three times during this week and have questions about other cases put to him. At another time he is given a question about some operation and must give an account of the operation and instruments employed, and then perfoi m the operation on the cadaver. He must answei in the same way another question on luxations. In the ophthalmic exami nation he 'm ust examine a patient with disease of the eye as Above described in surgery. >^ '■ i' > "-.'^'^l •2oy . ' ' '■.■..- The medical examination la conducted in exactly the samo way as was d6feoi*}t>fi4 In the surgical examination. In addition, special attention is paid to the doses of medicine and to the writing of proscriptions. In the obstetrical examination ho is shown a woman In labor and must make the diaar- noslp of tho period of labor, the position of the child, and thirprocnosis, and must conduct the labor. Ho must then write out a history of tho birth. In addition, during sovoh days he must examine a number of obstetrical and gyn^cologiea^oaSes and discuss them. Ho must also perform operations on the phtotom. . ' ' . . ■ ' ^ Finally he is subjected to a final oral examination to testhis general medical knbwledge. Tho cost of tho examination Is 851. The time between the diftorent examinations should'- not exceed eight day;*. In order to pass the University examination it is not necessary to have passed the Tentamen physleum. The application for permission to pass the University must be made to the dean of tho medical faculty, and must be accompanied by cortiflcates that the candi- date has studied at least six, in some Univorsitica eight semostors, a certilicato of good character from tho police, and a thosls on some medical subject, and ftlOti. In some Univer- sities the dean gives the candidate a preliminary examination to see if he is sulllciently well prepared, but in most Universities this is not the custom. If the thesis bo satisfactory to the professors then tho candidate is allowed to come up for examination. Tho examination is an oral one, and is held in anatomy, physiology, general pathology, and pathological anatomy, special patholotjy and thorapoutics, surgery, midwifery and gynecology. After the examination the candidate hands m his dissertation. Tho examination is held before six regular professors, and each examiner 6xamine8 for about a quarter of an hour.

Sixth Fear— Medical jurisprudence, toxicology, hygiene, history of medicine and clinical medicine, obstetrics, gynecology and psychiatry. There are examinations at the end of each semester. These examinations are oral, written and practical. After passing all examinations the candidate must defend a disser- tation and three theses before the faculty, after which the M. D. degree is conferred. For- eign physicians are licensed only after passing a severe State examination. Chili.— One medical faculty in the University of Santiago, The course of study is fraded and lasts six years, differing but little from that in Brazil. Actual work in the ospital begins in the second year. At the end of tho fourth year the bachelor examina- tions are held. The fifth year is devoted to hygiene, clinical work and operation courses; the sixth year to legal medicine and clinical work, after which the licentiate examinations are held. The above examinations are written and oral After passing the licentiate ex- aminations the candidate can proceed immediately to the M. D. examination, which con- sists of an oral part before five examiners and a practical part. This degree examination is in all respects the same as the German Staats-examen. Foreign physicians are licensed only after passing a severe State examination. United States of Colombia.— Have one medical .school in the University of Bogota, Cuba.— Has one medical school in the University of Havana.
