Madame Walker, doctor of surgery.

The physicians and the interns of the Hospital of La Charité received on Saturday, during the morning visit, one of their American colleagues, to whom the last war in America gave a certain reputation.

This doctor of Medicine was none other than Mrs. Walker, who, during the war of secession in the United States, directed an important ambulance service. Small, of delicate constitution, dressed with the elegant simplicity that distinguishes the ladies of society, Madame Walker was received with great sympathy and most respectfully. She took a lively interest in the two great services, the surgical and the medical. Her presence at La Charité proclaimed a new principle, which received its consecration in the New World: the equality of woman before Science.
