A prominent physician of Baltimore,

'the duties of attending TO the sick

ant OF nurse. or serving under the In
stinctE OF affection, the ministrations OF
women are regarded rs tender and ap-
propriate. The sick room offers an ap-
propriate field for the action of woman's
truest instincts, and when TO these
quaiit es are added scientific training
and a knowledge OF the art of healing
diseases, itwould seem. Theoretically at
least, that woman's character had
reached q high degree Of usefulness In
medical career. As late as 1850 the
number OF female graduates In medi-
cine could be counted on the
fingers of one hand. To-day upward
of 1000 American women hold y
medical degree. The movement has
literally conquered position in science
and society and one might as well at
tempt to stay the progress Of the tides
as to endeavor to arrest Q reform which
gives to woman useful sphere OF action,
/ benevolent occupation and an opening
TO an honorable livel hood
''In the beginning the effort upon the
part OF woman TO secure a medical edu'
cation was q trying one The road
which the early female practitioner
trod was rugged. There were senti.
ments, prejndices and opinions present
ing formidable barriers to progress. and
woman knocked hard for admission into
the ranks OF the medical profession.
Admission was at first emphatically de
MED; IL was next partially allowed.
Now the doors are open, and q medical
education is within the reach of any
woman who seeks It, The future of thii
movement in favor OF female medica
education and practice will turn upor
woman's skill, knowledge and adapta
bility. She must master the science
she must demonstrate her ability to dc
scientific work; and II she conquer the
