CANADA.

PRACTITIONERS of medicine in Canada must be registered, and the requirements demanded vary in different provinces. The possession of the degree of Doctor of Medicine, granted by a recognized university, entitles its holder to registration in all the provinces, except Ontario. The curriculum of studies required of a university, in order that its degrees may be registered, is set forth in the following sections of the Quebec Medical Act, and are applicable, with slight changes, to all the provinces:

§ 8. From and after the passage of this act, no person shall be admitted as a student of medicine, surgery or midwifery, unless he shall have obtained a certificate of qualification from the said Provincial Medical Board. And no one shall be entitled to the license of the college, on presentation of a diploma, unless he shall have been previously admitted to the study of medicine, in accordance with the provisions of this act, or unless he shall have passed an equivalent preliminary examination before a college, school or board, authorized by law to require and cause such preliminary examinations to be passed in Her Britannic Majesty's possessions, elsewhere than in the Province of Quebec, and.cceptable to the board created by this act. * The subjects of the preliminary qualifications to be English and French, Latin, geography, history, arithmetic. algebra, geometry, belles-lettres, and any one of the following subjects: Greek, natural or moral philosophy; and the candidates to present a certificate of good moral character.

§ 15. The qualifications to be required from a candidate for obtaining a license, authorizing him to practice medicine, surgery and midwifery, shall consist in his holding a certificate of study from a licensed physician, for the period intervening between the courses of lectures which he has followed; that he is not less than twenty-one years of age; that he has followed his studies during a period of not less than four years, commencing from the date of his admission to the study of medicine by this board, and that, during the said four years, he shall have attended, at some univer-ity, college or incorporated school of medicine within Her Majesty's dominions, not less than two sixmonths' courses of general or descriptive anatomy, of practical anatomy, of surgery, of practice of medicine, of midwifery, of chemistry, of materia medica and general therapeutics, of the institutes of medicine, of physiology and general pathology, of clinical medicine and of clinical surgery; one six-months' course or two three months courses, of medical jurisprudence and of hygiene; one three-mouths' course, of botany; one threemonths' course, and a course of not less than twenty-five demonstrations, upon microscopic anatomy, physiology and pathology; also, that he shall have attended the general practice of a hospital in which are contained not less than fifty beds, under the charge of not less than two physicians or surgeons, for a period of not less than one year and a half, or three periods of not less than six months each; and that he shall also have attended six cases of labor, and compounded medicines for six months. And to remove all doubts with regard to the number of lectures which the incorporated schools of medicine of the Province of Quebec are bound to give, it is enacted and declared that each six-months' course shall consist of one hundred and twenty lectures, except in the case of clinical medicine, clinical surgery and medial jurisprudence Of the four years' study required by this act, three six-months' sessions at least shall be passed in attendance upon lectures at a university, college or incorporated school of medicine recognized by this board, the first whereof shall be so passed the session immediately succeeding the preliminary examination, and the last during the fourth year of study, and the candidate shall undergo an examination, on the final subjects of the curriculum, at the end of the session in his fourth year of study.

IT is optional in Quebec with the provincial board to accept or reject the degree of a university outside the province, and the test of an examination is sometimes imposed upon its holder.

In Ontario all, except registered practitioners of Great Britain, must pass an examination in the required branches before registration. The remainder of the provinces accept recognized university degrees without examination.

Graduates of United States medical schools, in order to register in a province of Canada, unless holding an academical degree, must 1) pass the matriculation examination; 2) attend a Canadian school one or more full winter courses, so as to complete the curriculum of the province; and 3) pass the professional examination.

Manitoba is an exception, the regulation there being as follows: "American students in medicine meaning graduates of medical colleges in the United States] obtain a license by passing a practical examination satisfactory to the board on the following subjects, viz.: Anatomy, physiology, theory and practice of medicine, surgery, midwifery and diseases of women and children, chemistry materia medica and therapeutics, medical jurisprudence and toxicology." For this examination, and subsequent registration, a tee of $100 is charged.

STUDENTS attending Canadian colleges, are subject to the following rules:

1. In the case of disorderly conduct any student may, at the discretion of the professor, be required to leave the class-room. Persistence in any offence against discipline, after admonition by the professor, shall be reported to the dean of the fac Ity. The dean may, at his discretion, reprimand the student, or refer the matter to the faculty at its next meeting, and may in the interval suspend from classes.

2. Absence from any number of lectures can only be excused by necessity or duty. of which proof must be given, when called for, to the faculty. The number of times of absence, from necessity or duty that shall disqualify for the keeping of a session, shall in each case be determined by the faculty.

3. While in the college students are expected to conduct themselves in the same orderly manner as in the class-rooms.

4. When students are brought before the faculty under the above rules, the faculty may reprimand, impose fines, disqualify from competing for prizes and honors, suspend from classes, or expel from the college.
