The students of medical and surgical science are trained in the practice of the profession in the hospitals of the Capital, of which we shall give here a short sketch:

THE HOSPITAL OF ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST was founded in the fourteenth century. It receives all medical and surgical patients, with the exception of those suffering from contagious diseases. It has 418 beds, of which 213 are occupied by those affected internally, 109 by external, and 96 by chronic diseases. There are also private rooms for individuals, who can afford to pay moderate charges. The number of patients annually received at the hospital is between five and six thousand. The two professors of the medical clinic have 14 beds each, for the instruction of the students, and the professor of surgical clinic has 6 in the hall of men, and as many in the hall of women for the same purpose. Twenty-one students of the faculty are selected among the best, who assist the ordinary physicians, and in return receive either free board or an annual pecuniary allowance.

THE HOSPITAL OF SAINTS MAURICE AND LAZARUS was founded in 1572, with the object of treating those acute diseases which are not contagious. It receives every year about a thousand patients; eight students of the university are appointed for the service of the hospital and the assistance of the ordinary physicians, and enjoy the same privileges of those of the hospital of St. John.

THE MILITARY HOSPITAL OF THE DIVISION OF TURIN.-Its object is to receive the sick soldiers and officers, whose station is in the Division of Turin. It has 430 beds, and affords the occasion of practical instruction to those students, who wish to become physicians and surgeons of the army.

For their assistance to the hospital they receive also free board, and are obliged to follow the courses of the university.

THE INSTITUTION AND THE HOSPITAL OF ST. LOUIS GONZAGA.—It was founded in 1794, with the object of aiding and nursing the sick who could not be admitted to other hospitals, on account of the nature of their diseases. The institution provides also with medical advice, visits, remedies, and comforts at their own home those, who do not wish to be brought to the hospital. This has 200 beds, and receives by preference patients affected by consumption, cancer, chronic dropsy, scurvy, and leprosy.

THE MATERNITY HOSPITAL, in which the obstetric clinic is established, receives about six hundred patients a year. There is also in this hospital the school for midwives, with eight or ten pupils.

THE ROYAL GENERAL CHARITY HOUSE, of which we spoke above, is the seat of the school for the clinic of syphilitic diseases; four students of the university are appointed to assist the physicians of the hospital, and they receive the same allowances as in the other institutions.

THE ROYAL LUNATIC ASYLUM affords the pupils the occasion of studying mental diseases, the clinic of which is here practiced. The asylum contains two hundred and fifty patients, of both sexes, and supports four students for their assistance.

THE OPHTHALMIC DISPENSARY affords free advice, remedies, and cure to the poor; patients who can afford it pay a small sum for their board and lodging. It contains two hundred patients.

THE ORTHOPEDIC ESTABLISHMENT was founded in 1823, with the object of curing the crippled, maimed, and deformed, etc. It has acquired a great reputation, and it is considered as one of the first establishments of the kind in Europe.

FACULTY OF BELLES-LETTRES AND RATIONAL PHILOSOPHY. This faculty prepares doctors and professors of rhetoric and philosophy. No one can be appointed professor of these departments, or allowed to teach either in public or private schools, if he has not completed the established courses and obtained the diploma of Doctorship from the faculty.*

From these professors the provincial inspectors of elementary instruction are generally selected. The course is completed in two years; in the first, the students learn general Chemistry, Mineralogy, Botany and Zoology, attending the lectures of the professors of these sciences, and prepare themselves for an examination on all the subjects, which enter into the programme of the four elementary classes. In the second they attend the lectures on Pedagogy, and on Method, both general and special, applicable to the elementary schools.

Their salaries are paid by the government, and after thirty years of employment, they are entitled to retire with a pension equal to their full salary. Their widows and children under age are also entitled to a pension.
