There seems to be no doubt that the disease was contracted poetically sim ultaneously by all three. There have been no further and we may therefore ma sonsbly assume that the trouble is rcw over and that the disease was in no way contracted through any fault of our pro- mises, but froru, some unfortunate chares cause, such as the finding of a dead rat or the bite of a parasite, which suy Hongkong resident may ha liable to The Hongkong Dispensary premises have always been well looked after and maintained in a perfectly sanitary condition. The majority of the staff rosided in the six storey building facing Queen's Road, which is a comparatively new structure completed only about ten years ago.
