Women Doctors.

Women doctors are increasing in numbers all the time and have a good practice. I suppose that there are some four hundred women practitionors in the country now. They do a general practice, but, of course, do not attend men except in case of emergency. A woman doctor who attends men is not considered in gpod standing. Many women are educated in this country and then go to foreign countries to practice. There is an especially good field for them in such countries as India and Japan, where male doctors are not allowed to attend women— Dr. Atkinson of Washington.
