Two Chinese, one of whom, dressed in European clothes, told the Maxis trate that he had only recently arrived from America, were this morning charged before Mr. N. L. Smith with the unlawful possession of a rifle and 350 rounds of ammunition.
Mr. E. Davidson who appeared for the defence entered a plea of "not

vision for safeguarding the public health against epidemics, no matter what their nature. The authorities ought to tell us these things alsa, when they issue their "warnings."
These conclusions are founded on a visit to our Bacteriological Institute. which has such work as the prepara tion and preservation of vaccines and serums in charge. A casual call at the Institute and glimpse of the stores of serums and vaccices held in "cold storage in readiness for any outbreak that may occur, will convince anyone of one of the major facts contributing to these
conclusions that an adequate stock of preventive serums. is maintained and is now on hand. In this case the visitor was interested enough in the subject of the measures taken to pro- tect the public health, to make a call at the Institute, to succeed in being shown through the buildings, and to ask questions. No doubt anyone else who is suficiently interested in I ascertaining the truth of the situation could do the same. If such a course were me widely adopted. there would not be so many irresponsible statements, such as have been made in other local papers of late, intimat- ing that both in quality and quantity the serum and vaccine supply of the Colony is deficient.
In the treatment of rabies, the method employed is the same as that used in the Pasteur Institutes in India where an immense amount of rabies is encountered as the mest improved method in existence. It has been said, presumably in an effort to depreciate the work of the real institute, that a case of rabies in Hongkong would have to be taken to Saigon or Shanghai for treatment, owing to the lack of facilities for treatment here. This is far from the truth. For one thing. the rabies stuff from which the pre- paration is made at the local institute came originally from Saigon, and
