GOVERNOR’S COW
GLIMPSE OF OLD ADELAIDE. LONDON, September 4. The “Observer” features an interview with the centenarian Dr Harriet Clisby, described as the world’s oldest woman doctor.
Dr Clisby says that she went to Australia when she was seven. She lived in Adelaide in the ’forties in a small mild hut. The Governor lived in solitary splendour in the best but. He was the object of envy, not because of the magnificene of the hut, but because lie owned a cow.
Dr Clisby afterwards founded the first Australian magazine, “The Interpreter.” Chancing to receive a circular referring to the urgent need for women to take up medicine, she decided to become a doctor. She studied in Australia under a surgen friend, but was forced to go to America to get practice and did not return to Adelaide.
