American Female Physicians TO he Ad.
mittcd into China.

From the Boston Advertiser, Sept 81
The writer, through the interpreter, Tel
had a conversation with the physician OF
the Chinese Embassy, DR.. Tso, when in
Boston, principally for the purpose ofleam-
ing whether, il an educated female physi-
ci0n should be sent out from this country
abe would be favorably received. With
regard TO the present connection Of women
with the profession there, the doctor stated
that the practice Of midwifery was wholly
in their hands; that they were not taught
the art in any schools, but had books on
the subject 10 read. This statement agrees
with other authorities. For example, Dr.
| William Lockhart, an English missionary
physician, after twenty years practice IN
China, in a work published in 1861, says,
in alluding to this department OF the pro
f%ession: 'This practice is in China LETT en-
tirely to women II may be observed, IN
passing, that the Chinese race does not APP
pear TO have run out in consequence. Teh
| remarked that when the Expresses wives
of the EMPEROR were attended by physi-
cinns in case of sickness, the doctor was
not allowed to see or touch the patient A
string was tied around her wrist, and she
sat on one side of n window while the doe
tor sat on the other, and ascertained the
state of the pulse by holding the string
between his thumb and finger. Among
the common people, he said, the doctor
could feel of the woman's pulse and see her
tongue. In reply to the questionas to
sending out an educated female physician
10 teach their women the medical art, and
to practice, the doctor expressed his APP
provnl OF the idea without qualification.
The Interpreter, for himself, said 1t would
be a very good plan, and 1t would receive
announcement from the government Off.
cials. The other Interpreter, Fung, com.
ing into the room at that moment. and
having the proposition stated to him. said
Good, very good" Teh, being asked il
he would not bear in mind this interview,
and when the lady came out, give her all
the encouragement he could, said: Yes,
yes; certainly"
The writer had previously conferred with
Mr.. Burlingame, who expressed his decid-
ed approval of the plan of sending out a
medically educated woman TO Pekin, and
his readiness TO do what he could TO insure
the success of her mission. There is every
reason to believe that n doctress Of the
right stamp would bel popular parsonage
among all classes, and especially in the
higher grades of society. She would be
welcomed to the private apartments of the
Expresses, while the doctor sat outside

When near the end of his journey,

1t is but fair to say that even now, after
nearly forty years of litigation, three of the

Swayne and Miller, dissent from the con,
illusions of the Court. In dissenting from
the favorable opinion of the Court rendered
in 1860, Justice Grier used this strong Lam
