Medical Officer.

He has been Acting Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital since the 1st. September, 1917, and at the same time has performed in addition for periods
during the year 1918 the duties of Medical Officer, Victoria
Gaol. He was Medical Officer in charge of Kennedy Town
Hospital for the whole year which involved treatment of
several non-Chinese cases of Cerebro-spinal-meningitis and
some Chinese cases of the same disease, and all non-Chinese cases of small-pex. He was also visiting Medical Officer of the Tung Wah Hospital during the whole year, and for periods was Medical Officer in charge of Government Subordinates, and Medical Officer in charge of schools.
From the 14th December he was in addition in charge of the
