It is knowledge of the Chinese and their habits was very useful, he had in addition a certain practical knowledge of surgery which he had acquired here and which rendered him very skilful in the application of splints, surgical dressings, &c.
In conclusion I may state that I have made acquaintance with many Chinese Doctors but Chan Ah Lok far excelled them all, I regret with great regret that he availed himself of his resignation.
Of time would admit I could give the notes of three other cases but as this is the most complete and bears most on the subject in all its details I have given it at length.
