We hereby certify
that we have this day
examined Mr J. C. Fower and are
of opinion that it is desirable that he should not remain in this climate during another hot season.
We have been led to this conclusion
from our knowledge of his long residence in
the tropics, extending
over nearly 26 years
of which 21 have been
spent in the Public
Service of this Colony, and from
his exhibiting during last hot season symptoms of cerebral irritation which
frequently precede a general breaking
up of the system in persons
long resident in China.
