My experience compels grave doubts of the so-called disastrous effects, moral and physical, of moderate opium addiction as noted in the type of case admitted to the Medical Wards at the Government Civil Hospital.
Investigations in regard to the effects of opium addiction on gastric function have been continued and a paper on this subject is in progress of publication. A total of more than 150 cases have been submitted to a fractional test meal.
SURGICAL UNIT—Report by the Professor of Surgery, Professor Kenelm H. Digby, M.B., B.S., F.R.C.S. (England).
407 inpatients were treated in the three wards of the Surgical Clinic at the Government Civil Hospital.
758 surgical operations under anaesthesia were performed.
The out-patient attendance in the Surgical Clinic numbered 2,709 (new patients).
1,252 patients attended the Ear, Nose and Throat Clinics (new patients).
There were also 3,103 patients who attended the Ophthalmic Out-patients Clinic (new and old patients).
The development of the Clinical Museum in the School of Surgery has been slowly continued.
There is great need of an endowment for a research fellowship in surgery.
The Department is greatly indebted to the Government Analyst, Mr. V. C. Branson, and Mr. A. Jackson, for their careful chemical analyses of vesical calculi reported in a paper read by Dr. Lien at the Third General Chinese Medical Conference at Canton.
We continue our indebtedness to the Trustees of the Matilda Hospital for the loan of radium needles, and to Dr. J. H. Montgomery for his help. The work of radiotherapy is, however, greatly limited by the absence of any deep x-ray appliances. To treat malignant growth with radium without deep x-rays is like going into battle with bayonets but no bullets.
Every week a staff round is held from 5 to 6 p.m. on Mondays which general practitioners and other qualified men are welcome to attend.
