Nothing in the above act shall prevent any person, not a British subject, who shall have obtained from any foreign university a degree or diploma of doctor in medicine, and who shall have passed the regular examinations entitling him to practise medicine in his own country, from being and acting as the resident physician or medical officer of any hospital established exclusively for the relief of foreigners in sickness; provided always such person is engaged in no medical practice except as such resident physician or medical officer (22 Vict., c. 21, s. 6). The following qualification was added by 23 and 24 Vict., c. 7, s. 1: A diploma or license in surgery granted by any university in Ireland legally authorized to grant the same. The act 39 and 40 Vict., c. 40, in sec. 3, provides that all persons who have obtained from any university of the United Kingdom legally authorized to confer the same, the degree of bachelor in surgery, shall be permitted to register the same as a qualification under 21 and 22 Vict., c. 90. The diploma of a member of the King’s and Queen’s College of Physicians in Ireland, and the degree of Master in Obstetrics of any university in the United Kingdom are added to the qualifications in Schedule A of the Medical Act of 1858 (49 and 50 Vict., c. 48, s. 20).

WOMEN.—The Society of Apothecaries is not relieved from any existing obligation, nor deprived of any right, to admit women to the examinations required for certificates to practise as apothecaries, or to enter the lists of licentiates of said society, any women who shall have satisfactorily passed such examinations, and fulfilled the other general conditions imposed upon persons seeking to obtain from the said society a qualification to be registered under 21 and 22 Vict., c. 90 (_ib._, s. 5).
