Medical Report on the Po Leung Kuk for the year 1907.
The health of the inmates during the seven and a half months that I have had medical oversight of the institution has been good.
During the carlier months there were a few cases of Beri-beri but for the last four months we have had none and from the two previous years' reports I notice the numbers are decreasing.
One case of mumps appeared but was at once isolated and no further cases appeared.
I have visited the Institution regularly three days a week and have found it as a rule clean and well kept. The food is good and the new garden affords an opportunity for exercise which was much needed.
Appended is a Table showing diseases treated.
ALICE D. SIBREE, Inspecting Medical Officer.
