SERVIA.

(kingdom.)

Area, 19,050 square miles. Population, 2,096,043.
Capital, Belgrade; population, 39,422.

The sanitary laws require that any one who wishes to practice
dentistry in Servia must have, first of all, permission from the
Ministry of the Interior.
The Ministry gives this permission only to those who are
Servian subjects, have graduated from the "Gymnasium " (High
School), have attended lectures on dentistry in foreign countries,
and have been approved by recognized universities.
The Ministry of the Interior also permits foreign travelling
dentists to establish themselves in Servia, after a short sojourn of
two or three months, and after they have passed an examination
before a sanitary commission.
These foreign dentists are on this occasion examined before
the Commission in Anatomy, Histology, Physiology of the Teeth
and Head Pathology, Operative and Technical (prosthetic)
Dentistry and the Use of Instruments.
No dental school, society, or journal exists in Servia.
The number of dentists in Servia was, in March, 1893 (as per
information from Belgrade), four. Of those only two were law-
fully entitled to practice. The other two have practiced for a
long time and are now simply tolerated.
