Hong Kong affects to stand alone
among
the Eastern Colonies in not
a Vaccination Ordinance;
endeavouring
and I cannot find whether
any
action
was taken on the circular sent
to the colony on
the respecting
this
Subject: Scr. J. Hennessy says
that the Chinese do it themselves (See as his speech on the census
and his Bluebook Preface for 1880.
As the authorities in the Straits also said that the Chinese were
at the same time
ready to take it up, but they thought
it well to pass
an
ordinance.
Sanitation
has now become
prominent, we might ask for
some information bearing
on Sir
J. Hennessy's statement that
not much is
in the
way of
a great deal by
government
vaccination
but a
great deal by the Chinese themselves:
