As I pointed out on a previous paper, the women in brothels Chinese so strangly objected to the general medical exam, that in Hong Kong it was never enforced in their case, but it must not be supposed that these women get no medical treatment. They go to their own (Chinese) doctors, who are said to be able to treat these diseases with a very fair measure of success.
