be laid at the door of
the Medical Profession, and as the official head of that profession in
China I should doubly grieve did
I think that I had given
occasion
for any such charge against my Department.
I have.

My Dear Murray,
The
question you propose
to ask
respecting the case
you
mention, seems
very simple. "A man's health is in such a state,
that it is almost certain he will die should he not be removed to another climate, and the only possible way of doing
so, is by a ship without a Medical Man? Might I not vary
the question and say
Is this man to
be left to all but certain death (with
no means of
recovery
hopeless prospects of
survival within his reach?)
