at the dispensary has gradually increased. For instance, in 1915 and 1916 the number of patients was 307 and 393 respectively, which increased to 1,402 in 1917 when a medical officer was first stationed there, and last year the figures already given show that there were ten patients for every one in the earlier periods. A similar comparison between the number of patients who attended the dispensary in Kowloon in 1915 with that for 1922 shows the attendances at 6,000 and 24,768, respectively.
The Pok Oi Hospital, Un Long. This institution was originally one in which Chinese medicine was in vogue entirely, but it was thought probable that a certain number of the people who resorted to it would incline to western methods if these were available, and, accordingly government decided to station a dispenser there and to supply the more ordinary drugs and dressings, the work being supervised by the European medical officer. The dispenser or dresser has been at work for six months of the year only and some 2,253 patients have applied for relief.
The Kwong Wa Hospital.-The visiting medical officer was Dr. J. T. Smalley until November 4, after which date Dr. W. B. A. Moore performed this duty.

There is also a nurse trained in maternity work and six probationer nurses, three dressers and one dispenser.
