HOW TO RESTORE NUTRITION:

It consists of the body building material of pure milk, chemically combined with glycro-phosphate of sodium, a salt which opters largely into the composition of "the brain, spinal cord, nad uerves
These two highly valuable nutritive substances reinforce each oth r'a se in both on tlio nervous and physical side of the body, while they also bring about a rapid and remarkable improvement in the blood, increasing the number of the red blood corpuscles and their in a manner which is little short of ordinary,
As the result of those varied actions, thero is great stimulative apheaval of all the body's natural fanctions. The evidence of this is, immediately, sanu in many directions. Thus, the digestion rapidly improves, the appetite becomes kéon and stroug, the powers of assimi- lation are increased, and very soon the bones which were plainly visible all over the body are hidden by arm muscles and healthy fat, while the eyes brighton, the lips redden, the face becomes rosy and the child resumes the normal notivities of healthy, vigorous, mental and physical life, and sleeps well and rostial
Such children can successfully combat the disabilities inevitable to the tropical climate, and, provided ordinary precautions are taken, many remain with their parents without detri ment to their health, and without the necessity of a separation which is an inevitable source of sorrow to all ecncezned.

In the summor of this year the Viceroy of Canton again attempted to imposò an illegal tax on raw opium, but on representations being made by the merchants, engaged in the trado and the Chamber, the question was promptly taken up by the Charge d'Affin Peking, and the Conal-General at Cantor, with the result that the proposed impost was abandoned.

For many years the question of medical inspection of vessels arriving in the waters of the Colony had received the attention of the Chamber, and daring the year now under review the Committes again urged that this important work should be entirely separated from a private. practice and carried out scioly by medical mon in Government employ, and responsible to the Governor alone, it being an anomalous condition of affairs that such work in one of the largest shipping ports of the world should be controlled by private practitionat.
The question of so called Chinese "pilots" during this year engaged the attention of the Committee and certain regulations were drawn up and submitted to the Government with a view to preventing Chinese from boarding vessels, giving out that they were qualified to navigate steamers, into the harbour, who invessels. many instances they had insuficient knowledge to do 20.
The step thus taken by the Committeo was later on made ass of and an attempt was made to force an Occidental pilot service on the shipping community. This would have entailed an entirely unjustifiable expense on the skipping, and after some months of experiment, during which it was attempted to increase the rate of pilotage so ne to bring the service within the reach of Europeans, the whole scheme fortunata ly collapsed.
There is no real necessity for a highly paid pilot service in Hongkong drawn from skilled And reliable officers of the Mormantile Marine sad the atleapt to force such a service, supported as it was by the then Harbour Master, very rightly came to grief, in the summer of 190 The intention of the Committee had been to ask the Government to establish roszonable control over native pilots and not to inaugurate a highly paid and entirely un- necessary service of "foreign" pilots.

After reference to HM, Minister in Peking the taxes on yara were abandoned and the Committee therefore recorde au appreciation of the energetic manner in which the Consul General at Canton (Mr. J.

This year was chiefly notable for the severe struggle which took place betwest Russia and Jupon, resulting in the transfer of Port Arthur,
the ultimate absorption of Corca by the Jepanese, and other changes which have had, or will have, far-reaching effects upou trade in the Far East.
The immediate result of the War was, how- erer, of considerable moment, to the Eastern trade, owing to the extroms declaration made by Rossin as to the rights of a belligerent Fover to interfers with neutral trade.

A question, already a very old one in the aznate of the Colony, again during this time engaged the attention of the Committes, viz., that of the registration of partnerships, Opinion, however, differed so widely on this point that after some discussion, which was carried so far as the Legislative Council, the matter was again allow-
