Lung, Mr. and Mrs. Ne, Miss of reservations which have fallen Mr. and Mrs. W. Stead. Mr. Woo from the Director of Medical and Sanitary Services, I must say they did not evoke a very enthusiastic response from me because it seems to me like listening to a lecture from a doctor, In this way: the best way to keep well is this-to live in the open country in the bost of surroundings, take the best of food; if you have a little cold go to the beat doctor, don't do any un- pleasant work and you will be a healthy man. That would be grand and glorious. But can this advice be given to the thousands and ten thousands of coolies not living in Huch wonderful surroundings which will improve their health.

Hospitals Overcrowded. Mr. Sayer says that prevention is better than, cure. Of course it is; averybody knows it, but is it really a very satisfying answer to the wretched coolies who have con- tracted tuberculosis and have no where to go. People don't want to live four in a room if they can help it, and it's no use saying that one way of not getting consumption is for one person to live on one floor. That, of course, would be going to
extremes.

Ife would not want to stay there for six months, and I don't blame him. I know there are thousande of cases who cannot go to the Tung Wah Hospital or would not be admitted to the Government Civil Hospital and who may not come to the Kwong Wah Hospital as they are crowded. And they cannot go to a single Institution where they can get treatment for their complaints.
