II ia well known that from habit, tradition
and i,stinctive delic CIV, the women OF India
refuse 10 see medical men. There is bot one
remedv for the suffering and loss of life which
this causes. Women doctors are needed in
almost unlimited numbers to administer to
more than hundred millions of their own
sex in that country. Hitherto. in India. rs
elsewhere, IL has been up hill work for women
physicians to obtain full recognition. But
now the government and the intelligent ma
tives have awakened TO the claims IF the
Zenana, and OF the poor. for skilled medical
aid. In Bombay there is womsn's hospital
and about two years ago the committee for
promoting this work engaged DIR Edith
Bechey and nr. Charlotte E,lahy, fully quail
flied physicians, for that district. The nee
essary funds were given mainly by the ma

Indian ladies.

the native hospital for women is in a fair wav
of complexion The enormous demand for
professional aid may be gathered from the
fact that in 1873, at Hyderahad, DIR. Nancy
Monelle. an able American physician, who
obtained an appointment there, treated over
10000 patients in single year. Miss Dora
