es dissection, Physiology, the study of drugs in Materia Medica
and Pharmacology, and Organic Chemistry. When the examination in these
subjects has been satisfactorily negotiated, she passes on to medical
work proper, the study of disease and the result of accident in the
living person--in other words, she walks the wards of the hospital and
undertakes duties as clerk to physicians and dresser to surgeons, from
whom she receives instruction in medicine, surgery, and pathology.
Special branches are also studied, such as midwifery, women's
diseases, and affections of the throat, ear, eye, and skin. The
treatment of minor accidents also receives special attention. During
the whole of this time the student also attends regular courses of
lectures on these subjects, and she then takes her final examination.
If this be a degree examination, she becomes, on passing it, Bachelor
of Medicine, or M.B., and Bachelor of Surgery, Ch.B. or B.S. Having
obtained a diploma, she is generally entitled to style herself a
Member or Licentiate of the college of which she has passed the
qualifying examination, for example, M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P. or L.S.A.
On application, she is then placed upon the Medical Register, and is
known as a registered medical practitioner.

addition there is a fee of three guineas for the special study of
fevers. These fees include everything in the way of material, except
books and instruments for which it is wise to allow another L30. The
examination fees of the university are L25. These amounts make no
allowance for any failures, and consequent revision of work, and
re-entry for examination. In reckoning the expense, the necessary cost
of living for the six years must also be included. For those students
whose homes are not in London there are flats and boarding-houses
where it is possible to live very reasonably. Suitable board and
residence can be obtained from about 25s. a week.

_For the Diploma of the Conjoint Board._

The school fees are the same; the examination fees are, however,
higher, namely L42.

For other qualifications, the school fees are L20 less for the course.
