These and other outbreaks reported now and then from various parts of the country emphasize the need of taking every precau tion during the most unexpected of times, and justifies the existence of our hospitals not only as units of a comprehensive scheme for the prevention of plague but also as bureaux of information on this and similar epidemic diseases. In this con- nection I may state that our medical off
cers and staff are trained to meet all-con- tingencies, and our hospitals, especially that at. Harbin, are well equipped for the proper study and control of such diseases. I left Harbin on July 5th for my annual sumaer trip of inspection to the hospitals at. Sansing, Lahasusu and Taheiho. I found that the medical officers had ali done their work atisfactorily, and considerable improvements had been made as a result of three years' experience.
