A
aubject I have been favored with the views of the Principal Military Medical Officer to whan I had referred.
Their reports, together with the remarks of the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital and the Superintendent of Victoria Gaol, I now indose for Yau Graces informations.
It will appear from these that atthough Dr Heffernan considers the Dry Earth system "peculiarly adapted in mary respects to Wongkong "," jet the Colonial Surgeon and orters, with
g
considerable local experience,
are
of opinion
that such a system is mapplicable to such institutions' as would allow at all of its introduction : I also think there
is reason
to
suppose eauty
that the difficulty of
procuring of the Kind requisite would be
here much greater than in most of the level parts of India.
J
not yet, therefore, prepared
to alter the present arrangements, though
should.
Aw
opportunity offer, I think it desirable that a trial should be grim to what has proved
beneficial in
duly
India, and Your Grace shall be
informed of the results.
I have the honor to bes
My Lord Duke, You Grace's most obedient:
humble servant,
