The February Bulletin of the American Academy of Medicine, contains some interesting tables of the number of graduates of the different medical colleges that passed the State examinations in twenty-six States where such a test is made a condition of the right to practice medicine.

Since no other institution has so favorable a showing, these facts appear the more significant.
