HONGKONG SANITARY - BOARD ELECTION.
ADDRESS TO THE ELECTORS.
Gentlemen,
have been requested by a large number In my friends to offer myself as a Candidate at the forthcoming Sanitary Board Election.
I was born and educated in Hongkong, ama Bachelor in Surgery and Bachelor of Medicine of the University of Hongkong and have practiced medicine in this Colony since 1912. During that time middle and pourer work has taken me mainly among the classes, and I have thus had pocultar oppor tunities of realising the hygienic needs of
those who live on the lower levels and in Kowloon, and of seeing woman whole. for sanitary reform in the Colony as
I have made and am making a close study of lygione, and not merely from theoretical point of view; and I venture to olaim that my ideas and methods on all manitation questions are practical and up to cate. My work as Medical Officer to many large charitable institutions, amongst which are the Blind Home at Kowloon and the St. Lewis Industrial School (West Point), provided me with an ever-increasing stock of valuable experience.
