PROFESSOR SIMPSON'S REPORT. GENERAL PROTECTIVE MEASURES.
1. Government should receive regular
statistics weekly bulletins if possible - relating to plague in all parts of Southern China with which Hongkong has commercial dealings. This should be supplied by Consuls, Medical Missionaries, and the Customs Authorities.
Pages 8,47 104-105.
2. Quarantine ineffective and costly. Instead there should be supervisi- on over junks and Steamers trading with the infected districts.
Pages 105-107.
3. The large Steamers trading between Hongkong, Canton, and Macao should each carry a Surgeon on board. An alternative would be a system of Medical inspection before the Steamer communicates with the shore; but this would cause delay and inconvenience.
Pages 104, 106, tion.
4. Food supply brought in junks to be supervised; and a small laboratory to be attached to the animal depôts for the use of the Veterina- ry Surgeon.
