Women Doctors in India.

f 1 — — — — ' • JJLaoy doctors' are, a great success in India.' iNofc only ' \yomen proved themselves to be' generally well fitted for tbearduous duties attendant upon medical studios, but they have in spme cases succeeded beyond all ordinary expectation. Bombay, Madras, the Northwest Provinces and the Funjaub ' all return flattening •reports on the rgubject, and when we say thata class of female students can average p{er 700 marks out of 1,000 in a surgical, examination, ' as we hear has recently been ,th*e case,' little' can be said against their pow.er of skill- or aptitude for gaining know- i lefdere in one of the most important branches of -the medical profession. Indeed, 1 it I appears not unlik'elytha't women in India mky' prove themselves by no means inferior 'to 4 men in most branches of the practice of medicine', I ' if' the progress made by' native' females in 'hospital' work may be taken ' as ! a ctiiterion. In 1 many casos'they have' provdd 1 themselves 'superior to male 'students 'in' college erxaminationBje r xamination8j and in no way behind' Ih'etii? inapplicatibnj'power of reasoning and I resource/ 5'5 ' Tlfe' fact that much of their sup- f ceseis due n fco'tbe great interest taken in /thjeifstrtaies by^ their lecturers(and'pro"feWorr is not '^witlibut l a certain special si^nificarfce; 4 / ' x *" ' " '* ' "■
