APPENDIX B.
UNITED STATES FLAO SHIP," Delaware,“
Horekoso, 12th March, 1870. My dear Dr. Murray,—Sinco my arrival on this Station in the Spring of 1868, I have been struck with the benefit derived from the system of Registration and Inspection of public Wonien, so ably carried out in this Colony.
In most of the ports visited by our ships, the men have suffered from Syphilis, and especially in Japan, where the disease exists in its most virulent form. But during our visits to Hongkong, but few have been infected, and the type of the disense is very mild. In proof of this, I would mention, that the crew of this ship, numbering four hundred and seventy men, beve lately been granted liberty and only five cases of Chancre (Chancroid) have been noticed.
Such a result as this, proves the great benefit derived from the system; and on the eve of my departure from Victoríu, I deem it a duty, as well as a pleasure, to express to you my high appreciation of your labors in" the cause of humanity, us well as to congratulate you upon the success with which they have been crowned.
DR. MURRAY,
Colonial Surgeon. Hongkong.
Very truly, Your obedient Servant,
ROBERT 1. MACCOUN, Fleet Surgeon, U.S.N,
