Medical Practitioners.
Italy and the Empire of Japan have alone established
such rolations of reciprocity with this country. As
regards Japan the General Medical Council has recog-

valent to the minimum course required in this country.
The like is true of the degrecs of the Universities of
Italy.
The General Medical Council has not recognized
the diplomas of non-university schools and colleges in
Japan pending the coming into operation of a new law
which purports to assimilate them to the University
qualifications.
