 The field for medical women in Aus fria has just been enlarged by a decree of the Minister of Public Instruction, which announces that women medical graduates of foreign universities will be allowed to practice medicine in Aus .ria under the following conditions: ta) They must be or become Austrian subjects; (b) have completed their twenty-fourth year; (c) have passed a matriculation examination in an Austrian college; and (d) have attended successfully ten consecutive terms at a foreign medical school ranking with an Austrian university, during which period their moral conduct must have been blameless. This last proviso is quite common among the conditions of studcntship so far as men are concern ed, but is something new in it's appli- cation to women. The Austrian au- tlorities are of the belief that many foreign female graduates will avail themselves of these privileges, and qualify themselves under the regula- tions. In Bosnia and Herzegovina wo- men doctors are said to be in great de- mand. There are in these provinces many Mohammedan women who, of course, are unable to avail themselves of male medical aid, and will be only too glad to profit by the services of their own sex.
