An appeal to local Portuguese doc- tors to carry on their work unsel- Ashly for the sake of humanity was given by Dr. Soares to a representa- tive of the S. C. M. Post after the function.
He said a doctor's life was arduous and seldom appreciated or under- stood, but he advised young followers expect of his profession not to material reward for their labours, but to go on, even with self-sacrifice, to alleviate the sufferings of their fellow men.
also reminded them
that it was often due to their care that the happiness of a patient or a family depended, and the self-satis faction to be derived from this would amply pay any wordly reward.
Dr. Soares, who is a native of Al- mendra, North Portugal, first come to Macao as a Lieutenant attached to the Military Medical Staff in 1913. In 1915 he was transferred to Timor, and resigning his commission in the Army, returned to Macan in 1916 as a civilian physician. But for a short leave in 1027 he has since been in practice.
