FEMALE PHYSICIANS.

We have received pamphlet entitled &c An
appeal to the Medical Society Of Rhode Island in
behalf Of Woman to be restored to her natural
right as Midwife. and elevated by education to be
the Physician of her sex" 1t zealously as-
vocates the propriety of educating ladies as phv.
sclans: solely to attend ladies, in all cases of
sickness, but more particularly in cases of par
turlson. The work is very severe upon the un-
gentillty of male physicians acting as obstetri-
clans. and upon the alledged immortality for
which the practice is cloak.
Our readers will recollect that we some time
since noticed that Miss Elizabeth Blackwell had
graduated from one of the medical colleges in
this country. This pamphlet names a number
of other ladies who taking the lead in this
matter: Mrs Cove Nichols, Mrs Fowler, Mrs
Gleason, &c. A female medical college has been
put ia operation in Philadelphia, and female
students are admitted to the medical institutions
