The South Tungchow Medical

Association has protested to President Li Yuan-hung against the Ministry of the Interior's regulations governing medical practice and surgery on the grounds that the regulations are unduly severe and offer no encouragement to those qualified.

The regulations in question provide, with regard to Chinese prac-rising foreign science, that only men possessing diplomas issued by responsible institutions will be allowed to practise and make it essential for old style doctors to be proficient in their science. Those not so qualified will not be allowed to practise, their premises will be closed up and in the event of death or enfeeblement having resulted from their practice, they will ibe prosecuted at law.—Reuter.
