each instance, however, the name of the college from which the physician was graduated is given, or, in case he possesses no diploma, the length of time during which he has been in continuous practice at the time of the passage of the act of 1881. To this the Secretary has thought it well to add a list of the colleges from which the physicians of the State have received their credentials, noting each case in which there has been a taint of fraudulence. This will enable the public to be somewhat on their guard.; It will be noted that the number reported in the tables of comparison is less than that given in the general list. This is owing to the fact that these tables were prepared by the Secretary of Internal Affairs, whose report was published much in advance of our own, and that a considerable number of delinquents have since reported. Many corrections also require to be made for deaths and removals. The value of this register is therefore mainly that it formed a broad, and in the main, correct basis for future work which will result in the completion, at no distant date, of one which shall be complete and accurate. Any one who is in the habit of making deductions from tables, figures and statistics, knows how voluminous the manuscript of such work becomes, and how much easier these records are to manipulate when reduced to print. In the following list it is to be understood that all colleges not annotated have an actual and legal existence so far as the Board has been able to ascertain.

Total, NATIONALITY OF PHYSICIANS OF FOREIGN BIRTH IN PENNSYLVANIA, The returns fail to show the place of birth of many of the Physicians. Of the 8,248 reported, 642 are of foreign birth. The following table gives the number of foreign born, and shows the number of each nationality: It will be seen from this table that of the 642 foreign-born physicians, Great Britain is the birthplace of 152 and Germany of 131. The registration indicates that 7,316 are graduates of medical colleges, 2,009 being among the alumni of Jefferson Medical College, and 1,945 among the alumni of the University of Pennsylvania. The returns further show that there are 932 physicians without diplomas, who are now practicing under the provisions of the fifth section of the act of 1881, which allowed those who had been in constant practice for ten years to continue without certificates of graduation. Of 8,248 reported, 7,932 are males and 316 females. In the counties of Allegheny and Erie about nine per centum of the physicians are females. DISTRIBUTION OF PHYSICIANS BY COUNTIES. The following table shows (in each county) the number of persons to each physician, the number of male and female physicians, the number practicing without diplomas, the number who are foreign born and the total number registered : |
