IMPORTANT MEASURES.
A special" meeting of the members of the Hongkong Sanitary Board was held in the Board Room at ten o'clock this morning for the purpose of considering and discussing certain recom- mendations made by Professor Simpson, the sanitary expert, who has recently arrived from England. There were present-The President Dr. J. M. Atkinson,' (Principal Civil Medical Officer), the Vice-President, Hon. A. W. Brewin (Registrar-General), Dr. J. W. Clark (Medical Officer of Health), Hon, W. Chutham (Director of Public Works), Cal, J. Hughes, R. A. M. C.; Mr. F. J. Badeley, (Acting Captain Superintendent of Police), Mr. Edward Osborne, Mr. Fung Wa Chun, Mr. Lou Chu Pak, and Mr. G. [A. Woodcock, (Secretary),
2. No success is likely to accrue from any
measures which are limited to dealing with plague in human beings and the adoption of which does not take cognizance of the fact, that plague in rats and mice also disseminates the infection. It does not serve any very use- ful purpose to remove the sick and clean every- thing in the infected houses and above ground
gas into small sections' of drains, and sewers proviously blocked up for that purpose, and into the holds of ships and boats infested with rats, the employment of rat catchers on special areas, the taking up of ground floors in infected houses, demolition of the mat runs and the setting up of another slightly infectious disease among rate which is not communicable like plague to other animals or to human beings. This disease can be produced by feeding rats with cultures of a coccobacillus discovered by Dany's.

No single method is altogether satisfactory in getting rid of all the rats, healthy and un- healthy, but each method when employed systematically materially nssists in obtaining that object and the continuous regular and systematic employment of all these methods in a district ultimately produces excellent results.

Dr. Clark thought before going any further he ought to explain that the reason why Prof. Simpson, suggested engaging assistant surgeons was one of expediency, and they must remember that though European doctors would bo belter in some respects than Indian, they could not hope to get doctors from Australia and it would take too long to get them from England, where they would have to pay a much arger sum, -It was not easy to get doctors

have bean carried out at intervals of one week from another. The prophylatic is not an absolute protection, but it diminishes the chances of attacks immensely and, at the same time, if at inoculated person should be-attacked, it re duces the chances of death. The inoculation is a very simple process, more quickly done and less painful in its doing than that of or dinary vaccination. The inoculation causes in a few hours fever, headache, malaria, and discomfort for about thirty-six to forty-eight hours and a painful swelling at the site of the inoculation which necessitates rest for a day or two. The discomfort and pain experienced in the inoculated arm are howeyer seldom greater than those following vaccination against small- pox, and only last a few days instead of a fort-

13. In Hongkong with its proximity and daily intercommunications with Canton and Macao, which appear not to be free of plague, it is necessary to prevent as far as possible the importation of plague, because every such importation is likely to add to the number of infected centres. This requires arrangements and medical officers for the inspection of in- | coming passengers from these places. Possibly in the Port as in the districts assistant surgeons from India trained in plague work could be

3. Plague is in fact primarily a disease among rats, the infection of which can be coa. veyed to human beings, but once established in human beings the infection is communicable to others by means of the expectoration, by the discharges from the bowel and by the urine, and by discharges from the buboes or glandular swellings which farm in this disease. The clothes, the food, and surroundings of a plague patient are likely to be infective and spread the disease to others, while the rats in the house which were previously healthy, by eating the

The inspectors usefully combine with their duties in the afternoon that of ascertaining whether there is any sickness in the house, but as they cannot possibly in the few hours at their disposal get over more than a few houses the number of sick persons they discover is necessarily very small.
