A young Viennese woman who works in Shanghai in a very responsible position is Dr. Fanny Halpern, who was among the most brilliant of the students of Professor Dr. Wagner-Jauregg, Laureate of the Nobel Prize in medicine, and, passed all her examinations with great distinction. Last year this young woman doctor received a call to go to China, in charge of the clinic for nervous disorders attached to the University. For some time efforts had been made in Shanghai to set up a small centre for mental deficients, on which the population, misled by age-old traditions and superstitions, still look as persons almost on a level with criminals. With the help of a well-known philantropist, La-Pu-Hong, Dr. Fanny Halpen was successful in getting together the means not for a small centre, but a large institution, provided with all advantages of the most modern equipment, of which she has now become the head.
