The Hongkong Anti-Tuberculosis As- sociation is entering another year in the war against tuberculosis. In this great work, the Colony is taking its part with many other nations, in the universal effort to stay the heavy wastage of human lives exacted by this grim scourge. Scientists, doctors and

the others specialising in treatment of tuberculosis throughout the world have made great discoveries during the last few years, and the fruits of their labours are being made available to sufferers from this disease here in Hongkong, through The Hongkong Anti-Tuberculosis Associa- tion.

Unfortunately, statistics show that the incidence of tuberculosis in Hongkong is more wide-spread than in any other part of the world.

This grim fact does not dishearten the H.K.A.-T.B.A. because it is constantly fortified in the knowledge that, from the generous support given by Covernment, and merchant charitably-minded bodies houses, down to the humble worker, it is obvious that there is a common sympathetic understanding that this is a work of mercy which must continue.
