Enclosure No. 2.
Superintendent Government Civil Hospital to Colonial Surgeon.
GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,
HONGKONG, 3rd July, 1893.
I have the honour to report that on the 31st May last, I interviewed a Street Coolie who was sent to me by Mr. MCCALLUM.
His statement was as follows:--- "My name is Fú A-KWAN. I am 43 years old and live at No. 7, Tai Loi Lane, First Street. I am a Street Coolie. For the past twenty years I have been in the habit of smoking opium, the daily amount being three mace.
"A little over two months ago I was told that I could be cured of this habit by having some medicine inserted into my arm. Twice daily I have had this done at the Hung Cheung Shop (crockery ware shop) Morrison Street, for which I have paid one cent each injection. It is much cheaper than smoking opium and I get the same satisfaction out of it.
"I know of ten Chinese Doctors who each treats 50 to 100 men daily with this medicine."
The man had a number of marks on both arms evidently produced by punctured wounds.
His weight was 120 lbs.
I received from the Honourable Colonial Treasurer about this date a liquid in a small bottle which he informed me was the medicine used by these Chinese Doctors for this purpose. I handed it over to the Government Analyst to analyse. About the 20th ultimo I received a solid preparation from the same gentleman which I also handed over to Mr. Chow for purposes of analysis.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
J. M. ATKINSON,
Superintendent.
DR. PH. B. C. AYRES, C.M.G.,
Colonial Surgeon.
