WITHOUT PREJUDICE. —Dr. Sherry, of New
York, in a letter to the Philadelphia Reports r coacemiag
the present American movement for female physicists,
writes that some twenty ladies prevented themselves ..t a
surgical clinic and lecture in moot the New York ho pit
The surgeon announced that the subject would be berms;
and, not wishing to shock the delicacy of the fair auditah
he suggested the propriety of their withdrawal. Sews'
I hundred young men were present, and he thought it ca-
fitting that the young ladies should remain. They did eat
retire, but occupied the nearest seat, while eightees
male patients were exhibited, necesasrily in • state el
nudity. At another hospital, lithoteniy was to be perfall4
on a man. Eight members of "the little bend of true-
hearted women jut entering the medical pod. siimi," IT*
peered to witness it. The surgeon, from motives of deb.
racy, asked them to retire, and he sat down to await the
result. But they moved not. He thereupon announced
that, if they did not withdraw, the operation would he
postponed or done privately. Then they left. It is im-
possible that any gentleman should make such a statement
positively, and in a public medical journal, without being
well assured of the facts ; but we are still so far behiwi-
hand in England, es to receive it with honor if not with
incredulity.—British Medical Jaime.
