GOVERNMENT MEDIOAL SERVIOE. FOR years the necessity of a Medionl Service in J4111aioa. was presaed on the lo

Legislature and in opening the Senion of 1852 Sir Charles Darling brought the subj }lroruinently under their consideration. He stated that" the Wl\Ilt of a. sufficient nnm. her uf Medical Practitioners wu uuivet'6111ly felt t.hrougbout the ialand by almost th 4!ntire body <•f mhabitnnts, whether high or low, rich or poor," and be strongly urge ilitt Assembly " to make adequate provision" for such eervice. He a.sawed them tba "in some of the cl1striots medioal ad vice was not to be procured at all: in others onl &fter along delay And at a coat which virtually rendered it unattainable by the majori oft he mhab1tauts." "The loss of li!e alone (and the consequent loBS of labour)whic IUl nually resulted from this deficiency," added His Excellency, "was in itself a suffi c1ent ground to justify any expenditure which it might be ueoessnry to incur in placio the me&na of obtainmg medical W!Bistanoewitliiu reach of the people generally." In the <l111cunion of the question which ellBued the honorable Mr. Westmorland at.'\te that " the maj• 1rity of the medical men were settled on the sea-boards, and those 'lfho liTed in the country knew that for twenty to thirty miles no Doctor wa.a to be found." Doctor Bowerbank assured the House that" the people died from preve11tsbledisease11 for w;mt. of taiedical aid," and showed that "the whole amount then paid to the mem ben of the medical profession in the different parishes amounted but to £2,300 per annum."

Thia atate of things continued until the year 1868 when Sir J ohn Grant made pro Yuion to the extent of £3,000 for medical aid, and appointed on the lat Decembe fifteen Medical Practitioners as Government Medical Ol:licera nt salaries rangin from £200 to £300 per annum, chargeable partly to the poor rates and partly to the general revenue. At the close of the year there were forty medical d.iatrict11 define aDd thirty·fivo Medical Officers appointed thereto, five being then vacant aa no eligi­ble .Medical Practitioners were available.

The Department thus organised was placed under a professional head designate •he Superintend.mg ?tledical Officer, who was also constituted the Adviser of the< ;o­vernment upon medical and sanitary q11estions.

The duties of the Medical Officers are specified in the following rultia which were framed by the Secretary of State for the Oolouies, for the guidance of candidates fo employment, and which contain the principles on which the service is regulated:
