E. A. HEWETT,
Superintendent. Hongkong. 25th April, 1902.
Officer of Mauritius, and who has served in tropical Colonies in the East and West Indies and West Aftica for the last thirty years, is travelling throughout the British Possessions in the interests of the London School of Tropical Medicine. Sir FRANCIS afrived here yesterday by the mail, and reports that he has met with marked success throughout India, Ceylon, the Straits Settle- ments, and Federated Malay States, where the communities have liberally responded to the appeal for funds for the carrying on of this invaluable Institution. In another column will be found a very interesting account of the foundation, objects, progress and requirements of the School,
We earnestly trust that Sir FRANCIS LOVELL, will meet with a ready response in Hongkong to his appeal for assistance. It is hardly necessaryto point out the great benefits which Hongkong will, and indeed already has, derived from the researches. made by and the instruction given in the London School of Tropical Medicine. Prior to its establishment the young doctor taking up an appointment in the tropics

It will thus be seen that the support of the London School of Tropical Medicine is a matter which concerns" all "dwellers in the tropics. We poor exiles here have too often to depend upon our doctors, and it is un- doubtedly to our interests that our medical men should receive a training in the treat ment of tropical diseases before leaving home; otherwise they must gain their knowledge at our expense, which is not a particularly pleasant prospect, for few people care to be made the subject of medical experiments, Our doctors are unanimous in their praise of the School, and many have already taken advantage of its teaching, for amongst the names of its graduates we note those of Drs.
