TRAGEDY OF THE DOCTOR'S LIFE.
TOLL OF ALCOHOLISM AND SUICIDE.

Alcoholism and suicide are note ably frequent in doctors compared with other classes.
The doctor's cansulting-room, far from being a gold mine, is often the shortest route to the cemetery.
These were two striking points in the inaugural address in a course of Industrial Disease,” delivered by Dr. E. Graham Little, M.,P., at the Royal Instituto of Public |Health, Russell-square, W.C.
Dr. Graham Little spoke on "The " Health of the Medical Practitioner,” and said that the "decennial sup- plement to the Registrar-General's report for England and Wales for 1921 furnished, perhaps for the ârst time, some reliable figures for oc cupational mortality.
The scheme worked to some extent attendance and the play in this Honeymoon; Mr. Highet's Maskee; pearance in the covered court lawn with clergymen," said Dr. Graham
as in that half hour Hong Kong lost two wickets for 11, and this success helped Kowloon on Monday to get the whole side out for 180. Reid who had found on Saturday that he could stonewall now dis- covered that he was a bat as well as a bowler, and played excellently for his 83 which included some tremendous biffs on the leg aide. Tate also hit hard, though like Reid he had more than one life.
Going in again with a lend of 61; Kowloon fared very badly against Stanion and actually had 8 wickets down "for 60.odd. Then came a blessed shower rain which made the. ball almost impossible to hold, and the game was saved. Caveney stuck in with Lee until the total was 117, and with only an hour left for play and 192 to make to win, Hong Kong could only hope to play out time which they did

Right from the start he got the measure of the bowling, and actually clain- ed 60 of the 129 which he and Lammert put on for the first wicket in about 11 hours. He scored de lightfully all round the wicket and the way he put Coodwin's leg stump ball away to leg time and time again was a treat to watch. His only chance was the catch that dismissed him and he got his 143, which included 22 Zours, in just under 2 hours. The first half of Padre Quick's innings was, I'm told, a very scratchy affair, but he stayed there all the same, and it was hard luck to miss the coveted cantory by less than just one more boundary. Harry Owen-Hughes simply hit the now tired and ragged bowling all over the field. As 1 anticipated in September when writing on the season's prospects, the Kowloon bowling has been sadly weakened by the loss of Lya! and Reynolds and by Brace's arm trouble.
