.Msdtcel Profession in London and Paris
In the London Medical and Ply steal
Journsl for October, 1896, it is stated
that the number of Physicians, that is,
fellows of the Royal College, Licenti.
ates, &c. whe practise in London and
seven miles round, amounts to ia.
The whole population amounts to
1900, ooo-one physician for every
1000 souls.
Upwards of 500 members OF the
Royal College of Surgeons practise in
the same capital; and as by the law. all
medical officers, whether Of the army,
navy, Or East India Company, are en-
titled to practise as surgeons and apoth.
ecaties in every part of the British Do
minions, many of them, say goo, may
be added to the list Of surgeons; making
a total of 1000 practising surgeons, or
one to every 1900 Inhabitants.
The whole number of apotbecaries
entitled from yario,ls sources to practise,
as such, probably equal, a,ooo, or one
apothecsry for every 6n0 inhabitants.
Thus, in LONDON, the ply sicians are
to the surgeons as one to six, to the a.
pothecaries as one TO twelve, and to
both united as one to eighteen
In Paris, there were, in 1922, 600
ply sicains; being, on population Ok
500 600. one physician to every l,Ss 5
or five times more than
London.
In the same year there were in Pari,
i2s surgeons, being one to 625 inhsbi-
tants, or four fitths less than in Lon-
don.
Taking the three branches of the me-
deal profession in Paris, and supposing
the distribution of them in that capital TO
the proper standard namely, 600 ply
sicians, l2s surgeons, 1871 apothecaries,
