74 DENTAL LAWS CONDENSE D. ;
"Cairo, Egypt, February 15, 1912.
"An American desiring to practise den-
EgyP^- tistry in Egypt must present to the De-
partment of Public Health in addition to
the diploma of a regularly incorporated and properly recognized
dental college in the United States a certificate showing that he
has been admitted, after examination, to practise in one of the
States of the United States.
"There are a large ntmiber of dentists established in Cairo,
including Americans, and, as the town is practically deserted dur-
ing more than half the year by the wealthier classes of both for-
eigners and natives owing to the heat, I strongly advise American
dentists not to go to the trouble and expense of attem])ting to
establish a practice here.
"Living in Cairo is very high, the season short and the field
over-crowded."
"London, England, February 2;^, 1912.
"Any man can practise in England
England. legally. The L.D.S. (Licentiate in Den-
tal Surgery) only being registered, may
call himself a dentist. The unlicensed dentist (the dentist with-
out the L.D.S.) cannot recover fees by process of law ; otherwise,
the country is open. In obtaining registration, it is necessary,
examination equal to Cambridge Matriculation Examinations
after which, the whole dental curriculum must be taken at a den-
tal hospital in Great Britain extending over a period of two years,
and then passing the final professional examination. There are,
however, changes pending in the dental law and license require-
ments, and I will let you know the j^articulars immediately the
matter is settled."
"Tamsui. Formosa.

Formosa, Formosa are the same as for medical
practice. We submit a translation of the
regulations issued June 10, 1885 :

to hold the license to practise medicine from the Minister of
Home AiTairs (of the Japanese government), or a permit from
