Mr. Pung Wa Caun also concurred in the President's view, and favoured Mr. Osborne's remarks with regard to an adequate supply of water.

required was that in that time not only every Chinese house should b: thoroughly cleansed but also that European residents should see that, their servants' quarters were also cleansed. Everything should be taken out of the rooms and the floors thoroughly swept and scrubbed, and in the Chinese tenement houses particularly this was needed, as dust and dirt accumulated in the cubicles under the beds and in the corners.

matter.
Mr. Fang Wa Chuo-Yes, very well,
Mr. Lau Chu Pak remarked that there was
another point worth considering, and that was in relation to the notice proposed to be given. A mere advertisement in the local newspapers was not sufficient, because, as members were: {'probably aware, many Chinese could not read. English, and some not even their own language. In addition to such advertisement in the local newspapers, he thought that the Board should cause a large number of hand bills to be printed in plain, colloquial Chinese and freely distributed, so as to enable the occupiers of Chinese domestic houses to know what they were required to do.
The President--That is a very useful proposition; I think the matter might be left to the Registrar-General,
Mr. Messer-Certainly,
The President (continuing)~The question of supplying water, I think, is a most important one, but personally I also think that sea water salt water-would do as well for cleansing purposes as fresh water.
ME Fung Wa Chun-Y... cannot cleanse a house the inside of the house, at any rate with salt water...
The resident--You can scrub the floors with it.
Hon. Dr. Clark-1 think that if there is going to be a four hours' supply there will be sufficient water to cleanse the houses. Anyway, I do not think we need trouble about that at
present.
Mr. Fung Wa Chun-If we get a four hours' supply.
The President's motion was then put to the meeting and agreed to unanimously.

Llon. Dr. Clark said he was prepared to formally second the motion merely with a view to enable the Board to obtain the advice of the Crown law advisery, As Mr. Osborce had said, the suggestion as it stood was a travesty of British law and probably could not be put into force in that particular way. It was pos- sible, however, that the difficulty might be got over by a bye-law. The Board had the power to make bye-laws, and these bye-laws had the direct force of law; but at any rate this was a point which he thought might be considered and discussed by the law advisers of the Crown. If Mr. Osborne would concur, he should like to suggest that the question be referred to the law advisers of the Crown, lle would be very pleased to meet the Crown Solicitor and discuss the maiter with him,
Mr. Fang Wa Chun said he was in favour of such a bye-law being made as had been sug gested. If the making of it lay with him, he would not confine himself to dealing with offences committed on the hillside but over the whole of the Colony.
Mr.sborne-That is done privately Mr. Fung Wa Chan replied that while that was so, a stringent law was necessary. He had heard complaints after complaints that the night-soil coolies simply dumped the night soil into the storm-drains. Last week be had heard of such a case occurring at the junction of Old Aberdeen Road and Hollywood Road. It was really an awful thing, and those coolies who offended in this way should be severely punished.
The motion was carried unanimously..

The sample of water taken from a well at

Was that quite unexpected Quite expected It is quite impossible to tell in a case of diphtheria whether paralytic symptoms will follow or not. It comes ou as the result of some poison left by the disease.
You tell us that this case was, as a matter of faci, treated as diphtheria. That being, su,." can you explain how it was that visitors were allowed to go and see the child if she was suffering from an infectious disease-1 do not know what visitors were allowed, tu sce the child. I know the mother and, i beliem, the faiber saw her, but relatives are willing to risk infection for the sake of seeing their children, and moreover diphtheria is not so infectious as scarlet fever or small-pox although it is not thou ht wise to run the risk.
