I think the marked passage in the newspaper extract enclosed in 19237 shows that Mr. Wein's assumption is substantially correct
reply
I understand that the
Hongkong South has
is making
the experiment of allowing its plague patients to be treated in isolation in their own homes
instead of compelling them
in all cases
to
go to hospital;
The
experiment will be observed when this year's
plague season
has abated; 561
& observe that Mr. C. gathers from the Gov's speech enclosed in 19287
that whereas
Sec. 87 of Ord. 1903
provides that all plague patients living in
a house occupied
by more
than
one
family, the Govt.
has undertaken
to remove
such cases, instead
of removing the patient to hospital
to remove the
other families to other lodgings
at the cost of the Govt., a
very expensive proceeding
that appears to be a
hardship;
I ask that his report should include not only particulars as to the effect of the experiment on the death rate from plague
& on the spread of plague, also information,
[3
1-27
be removed to hospital
The experiment is being tried because it is
believed that
patients, owing
to the
great dislike
of hospital treatment, have concealed
their state of health until it was too late for them to be cured.
The results of the experiment will be carefully watched.
and
to be sent by next mail
a copy of question & answer
for a report as
to the result of the
580-3000-5-01
an

ay
to the cash
but
I overlooked this point
as it appears to
be inconsistent with the order,
SW15/1 CPL.BE
The Gov. is entitled to credit for the
interest he has taken in their experiment
and I would not be too critical
It will be sufficient to certify that the expenditure
has been incurred.
