" Leprosy as të afiets Hongkong. "By far the most important fact is connection with leprosy in Chios is that the majority of coolie emigrants start from the Brilib port of Hongkong. In these pages one fact has stood ant more prominently than any other, namely, that the coolie emigrants from the provinces of Kwangtang and Fokien are the carriers of leprusy wherever they go. It follows therefore, that as Hongkong is the usual port of em barkation for these coolles, it is the chief distilbution centre of leprosy in these regions.
" A great respɔnsibility therefore rests upon the|| Government of Hongkong. It not legally com- pelled to interfere, sorely a moral duty is in- cumbent upon the ruling power under whose control is the cleansing of this font region, Were the harbour authorities to Hongkong fully alive to the importance of their trust, an regards the health of counties with which they me in touch, there would be less leprosy in the Pacific.
"The diagnosis of leprosy in the early stages is not easy, and latent leprosy, unrecognisable at the port of embarkation, will no doubt appear with aggravated rapidity under the miserable hygiente conditions to which coolies, on plant
ions in countries on the Pacific literal, are subjected. A closer laspectlen, however, wodid undoubtedly reveal many men in the initial stages of leprosy, about to start xx emigrants.

Finally, as almost all vessels from Chiocie ports pass through Hongkong, the Government, through its hart our department, ought in insist sa carefni medical inspection of all ships carrying coolles before they are allowed to learn With such fealings aroused in one's mind over a disease of so prasiva a nature is Leprosy, which however losthrome is but of little imme- diate danger i Europsins, how much mere cesty is the nefect of medical Inspection pre (sent to one, when all forms el disease are under discussion.

Tho report of the Saoltary Board deliberations is slight upon the posities British sinflation holds in the eyes of the world, and one is glad to find that neither your excellent Medical Officer of Health nor a qualified sanitarian like Dr. Hartigan was a party to them. The Board's duty was surely to recommend at any rate the principles advocated, and throw the responsibility of their being carried out on the Executive. The Board is a deliberative body essentially, and that say gathering of men, be they only two or three, should be found at the present day to declare publicly, that it was not to the advantage of Hongkong sanitarily to have a Medical Inspection of the port, is to declare the findings of the board as unworthy of
a men's consideration.
