treated by European methods. The out-patients numbered 102,158 as against 107,395 in 1913 (102,333 in 1912), and of these 10,271 or 10% (as against 10.1% in 1913) chose European treatment.
The in-patients included 520 plague cases.
46. The number of surgical operations performed was 186 as compared with 23 only in 1911—evidence of the interesting realisation by the Chinese of the efficacy of Western surgery.
47. The number of destitutes temporarily housed and then sent on to their homes was 1,064, most of whom were sent to the Hospital from this Office.

48. Of the charitable funds managed by the Hospital, the "Emergency" and "Man Mo Temple" funds (Tables X and XI) were administered on the same lines as in previous years, and do not call for further comment, both showing a balance of receipts over expenditure for the year.
49. The balance sheet of the Brewin Charity as set out in Table XII is very satisfactory. The administration of this fund by the Tung Wa Hospital Committee was marked by a new departure. In order to secure a more substantial return from the large balance in hand, a sum of $41,000 was invested in the purchase of 10 houses in Temple Street, Yaumati. From this property, a sum of $2,611 in rent was received during 1914.
The amount expended in gratuities and pensions to deserving widows was $1,060 as compared with $574 in 1913.

50. This Hospital again did excellent work during 1914, and the number of patients treated shows a marked increase on the previous year's figures.
In all, 1,699 patients were admitted as compared with 1,352 in 1913, of whom 976 or 58% (against 52% in 1913—the figure given in last year's report is wrong and 41% in 1912) came under European treatment, and 723 elected to be treated by Chinese methods.
The total number of out-patients treated was 10,135 against 9,386 in 1913, and of these 3,791 or 40% compared with 31% only in 1913 and 12.8% in 1912 elected to take European treatment—a very satisfactory increase.
51. The total expenditure on the Hospital for the Kap Yan Chinese year was $28,213 and fell short of the ordinary revenue by nearly $10,000. To meet the deficiency, a sum of $9,977 was transferred from the Tung Wa Hospital funds to the credit of the Kwong Wa.
