BEHIND THE TIMES?

to a Sanatorium, that is a Sana- torium for tuberculosis cases alone. My experience in the Malay States and in Borneo was to this effect, that a Chinese will come Into hos- pital for a small time, say for three weeks or a month and then, if they ure tuberculosis cases and are fod with proper food and kept at rest until they improve, they will feel that they are cured and in spite of the protests of the doctor in charge, they take their discharge and re- tura in a few months in the second degree. This occurs again and the third time they come in in the third stage of being incurable. it is said at Home that the sana- torium treatment is of little value if you can't have cases in for at least six moths.

Two Years to Cure My experience is that culosis is not cured until two years after the treatment ceases. I look upon it as a sore, such as that on other parts of the body. The heal- ing of the sore in the first part, tho consolidation of the scar is the second part. In the case of tuber- culosis it takes two years for the scar really to harden before the patient can say he is really out of the wood.

With regard to the complete segregation of tuberculosis cases if the patient understands the dan ger that he is to others and takes the proper precautions complete segregation is not necessary. They are just as well off in their own home as in a sanatorium.

The Death Rate

The death rate so far as I can make out from the figures that have been supplied me, taking Hong Kong as 1,000,000 population. is 1.7 for the year mentioned, 1928, from pulmonary troubles and 2.7 from tuberculosis 03 a whole. That, of course, is high, but not Bo high as at Home.

Hospital Overcrowded

The motion was passed and adopted. The above resolution is the sequel to

the Tientsin paper's rebuttal of the slanderous attack by Mr. Lu Tong- ping's. Propaganda Department upon Foreign Misalonaries in China. It appears to be the considered decision of the local Kuomintang that it may The President has said that slander and vilify any class of foreigne figures are illusory.

is one of the possible, reasons that Kengelbacher, Pentusular, from a man who has been treated for tuberculosis may want to leave hor- pital is because he does not want to be in the same bed next to a man If Mr. Lo means we have no who might be suffering from some institution which deals with tuber-other terrible disease some acute culosis patients then that is a fact, disease. but we have hospitals in which every Case of tuberculosis that enters is treated as such and every effort is made to cure that case, but I can assure you that all cases do not stay long, that is if they feel well enough to work.

"It is Not Right"

I don't care what the argumenta are to the contrary; the mere fact that you have not got such an in- stitution in Hong Kong is not right. It may be that we want other things. I don't know, but the ab- sence of a sanatorium is the ab- sence which I very much regret.

The first point was that Mr. Lo had been quoting figures for the whole range of respiratory dis- cases amounting to 6,800. That been engaged from the Federated figure could not be produced to prove the Increase of tuberculosis, nor, could it be adduced to show the need for a tuberculosis sanatorium;
