Dr. Lowsow perhaps cannot teach Bombay doctors much about how to deal with plague cases, for they had before his arrival teen As many as he ever did, and all that can be said about It is in print for them to read; but he can teach them the lesson of later reflections, how to guard against a recrudescence of plague, and-most at all-how not to do it. He can teach them that every Insanitary dwelling-not a block here and there, nor a more than ordinarily Insanitary district, but every single building that has a suspicious look about it should be either completely cleansed and altered, or destroyed out- B ST.

„March 2.—It can sericely be assumed that a medical man of Hongkong experiencs has much to teach bls Bombay confrere. We have had, by a month at least, longer experience of plague la epidemic dimevalons than Hongkong has had, and it is a strangely belated wisdom which Ignored the value of Hongkong experience in October, and planed sil falib to if three months later. We set aside all considerations of service susceptibilites in this connection, but more than cough bas happened during this unhappy time to wawan' the inquiry whether the Government of Bombay have been anything like as ready to listen to the counsels of their properly constitut. ed medical advisers as they ought to have been. "We await the report of the Hongkong officers," $1.80 $0.00 Lord Sandhurst jald on Friday. Seeing that many weeks ago we urged that Dr. Lowson's help should be asked for, we should be the last to minimise the value of his services or of those of any officer who has had Hongkong experience, But we fall to see how those services can be made aby more valuable by beling employed in Indepenience of the accredited medical advisers of Government.
