province heading the list of contributors for $200. "The Happo" (meaning we presume the native head of the Customs department) is down for $90.47, these two being the only native officials whose maines are mentioned. Even this, how- ever, is satisfactory as demonstrating that an interest is taken in the institu tion by some at least high in authority. The general tone adopted in speaking of native confidence in foreign medical aid is satisfactory, but it is worthy of note
that in Hongkong itself it is with great difficulty that untive servants, etc., can be-induced to submit themselves to Eu- ropean doctors. Just as in religious

ceremony in their mode of treatment to appeal to the imagination of the Chiness patient. The simple direction, for instance, to wash a sure and keep clean dressings an it, is so devoid of any imaginative ele ment that, (in this Colony at least,) the patient usually roverts to the native doctor who burns paper with lucky characters on it for the mental, as he. paints the injured part with a nANISEDES- and useless colored balsam for the phy sical, relief those who consult him. We note this in order that distant readers may both realize the greater dim- culties of medical practice in Chins than in Europa and to girl against the -figuras given being accepted an evining a success greater than it really is. We need hardly say that we desire most sin- ceroly to witness a more extended uppre ciation of the humane efforts of the men- bers of the Society. But even the figures given 47,595 out-patients and 472 in-pa- tients at the Hospitals of Pok-tsui, Poklo, Shik-lung, Tung-kun, Taiping and Kam- li-fan-must not be taken as evincing too much, in a district the entire area of whielinumbers its inhabitants by millious. The in-patients moreover afford a more reliable index of the public ruith in for- eign surgery than the returns of outpa tients, and we should desire to se u larg i ́ er number noted than 472. In this speaking we would desire not to be mis understood. No efforts have been want- ing on the part of those charged with medical duties; but they will scarcely blame us for wishing to see their field of usefulness increased. An interesting fea- ture of the report under notice is to be found in the fact that from March till December the Hospital at. Canton was placed under the care of Dr Wong. Edu- cated in Edinburgh and well accomplish.. ed not only as a medical man but m western literature this gentleman still preserves the dress and appearance of “ a Chiness of the Chinese" and thus exer- cises a powerful infinence for good in ex- eiting confidence amongst native patients. As one who is able to grasp both sides of. the question, Dr Wong's testimony re garding the Chinese is of great valur. We believe that he has come to the con- clusion that owing to the abstentious diet, lymphatic temperament, or other causes

European readers with soine remarks on this subject-of surpass ing interest to the medical man, and not devoid of connection with the poli cal and moral questions which so con stantly arise regarding the position of the Chinese as regards western nations. Se vernl native pupils, educated mainly un- der his superintendence, bid fair to some day equal their master; and it would be difficult to overinto the inmense import- ́ence of the measures thus taken to edu
