Mrs. Walker The doctors and interns of the Charity Hospital received, on Saturday, during the morning visit, one of their American colleagues, that got a certain reputation from the last American war.
This surgeon was no other than Mrs. Walker who, during the American Civil War, ran a large ambulance service. Petite, of a delicate complexion, dressed in the elegant simplicity that distinguishes the ladies of society, Mrs. Walker was received very sympathetically and very respectfully. She took a very keen interest in the two major services, one surgical, the other medical.
Her presence at the Charity Hospital proclaimed a new principle that received its blessings in the new world: the equality of women before science.
