 cal Practice Act Recently Passed.
 The bulletin for July of the state board of health has just been issued. Ther, were during the month 1,372 deaths re ported in the state. This was 390 nor than in June and 115 less than in July 1892, and 50 more than the average mum Der of deaths in July for the five precedini years. The mortality in public institu tfons of the state were: in Bridgeport, 2 in Hartford, Il; in Middletown, 6; and il &a Io ducted from the total mortality of thei respective towns in estimating the deatl rates of those towns.
 The following towns are reported a having no deaths in July: Audover, Beth any, Bethlehem, Burlington, Canterbury Chaplain, Columbia, Durham, Eastford East Haven, Goshen, Granby, Kent, Led yard, Lisbon, Mtddlebury, North Canaan North Stonington, Prospect, Roxbury Salem, Sherman, Southbury, Union, Will ington, Woodbridge-26 in number. Dr. Lindsley, the secretary of the stat board of health, remarks in the bulletin al follows concerning the medical practic act which was passed by the last 1egis lature.
 "The law when carefully read seem sufficiently clear and fntelligible, yet tn, numerous letters of enquiry about it indi cates inattention to It's meaning or positiv, misunderstanding of 1t.
 "From the time the law was passed unti the 1st of October next, it applies only te those practitioners who were residents ot this state or of towns in other states or the boundary line of Connecticut, and who were actually engaged in medical and sur al nk A{,, Al Il the act, or had been previously thereto, tc wit, May 25. Therefore, only the residents of Connecticut, and of towns adjoining Connecticut in practice in the state on oI before May %, are now eligible candidates for registration.
 "Non-residents of Connecticut, or resi- dents of towns not adjoining our state boundary, are therefore not eligible candi- dates for registration until after October 1. After that date, the graduates of medical colleges which are recognized as reputable by either of our state medical societies, without regard to residence, can be regis tered by complying with the requirements of the law relating thereto.
 "All practitioners not registered before the first day of October, who are not grad uates of medical colleges in good stand ing, will be required to undergo an exam 4udtlou Do1oIo Ou6 OI IQe examining com mittees which, if successfully passed, will entitle them to registration, and to a eer- tifieate that they have been found quali- fled to practice. No examinations, how ever, are provided for until after January. 1894.
 "The following hints are suggested by the statements, already. filed by appli- eants: The information asked is such on ly az the law specifically requires.
 "In giving it the candidates should be as direct and simple as possible. Long, wordy answers to the questions are objec. tionable. There is no room fer them on the record books. Bear in mind that the statements for registration are not intend ed by the law to be elaborate autobiogra- phies or business advertisements. that the record books are not prepared for tran scribing narratives about the professional lives of those registered, but only plain statement of . few facts, given as directly as possible"
