I have come across an article in the South African Medical Journal from 1911 which those of you with medical practitioners in your family history might find interesting. It discusses the medical practitioners in the Cape at the time, the hospitals, the practising of medicine and the dispensing of drugs, and the fee structure for Cape Town and Country practitioners. http://archive.samj.org.za/1911%20VOL%20IX%20Jan-Dec/06%20June/1.2%20CAPE%20 MEDICAL%20PRACTICE%20IN%201824.pdf Furthermore, if you visit the archive index you can browse through the years from 1884 - 2002. (Take some time to read the bulletins and articles on the Spanish Flu pandemic.) http://archive.samj.org.za/ Regards Debbie Nelson
