MEDICAL NIGHT-SERVICE IN RUSSIA.

The Volx gives some details of the practical working of the medical night-service of St. Petersburg, which has now been in operation a (twelvemonth. At first this now nightservice, founded by the private exertions of a few medical men, had many difficulties with which to contend, but perseverance triumphed in the end, as it usually does. This novel institution is now found to be extremely useful to the inhabitants of St. Petersburg, and reckons persons of all ranks and means among its clients. The medical men on duty are always ready to render the services asked at their hands, without any previous knowledge that their labor will prove remunerative; neither do they shrink from going, when required, to the most dangerous and notorious localities. The muuber of visits made and carefully registered during the current year amounts to ten hundred and twenty-four, of which the greatest number was in January, when they amounted to one hundred and sixtytwo, the maximum of visits made in one night being six and the minimum three. The patients comprised five hundred and twentyfour men, three hundred and sixty-three women and children of both sexes. These nocturnal duties were performed by fifteen of the permanent staff, and thirty-five occasional helpers. The fees paid by persons in good circumstances have been utilized in completing the necessary arrangements for this night medical service, and in organizing small surgeries, where the necessary appliances may be always found at hand. The example thus set by the medical profession of St. Petersburg has been followed by the sincerest of flattery, “ imitation,” at Moscow, Odessa, Warsaw and other large cities of the North.
