A meeting of the Medical Board was held this

evening to consider the question asked in your letter.

Question i a.

The Board is agreed "That machine skimmed milk is

not suitable for the feeding of infants under one year of age".

Question i b.

The Board considers that it is necessary to

insert words to that effect on the label.

They recommend that the words inserted should be

as follows:- "Machine skimmed milk should not be used for feed-

-ing children under one year of age".

The Board recommends that these words should be

printed in large and legible type, in English and Chinese, both

on the outer wrapping and on the label on the tin.

Question 2.

The Board recommends that the above should only

of milk sold for local consumption.

The Medical Board considers that it is appointed

to carry out certain definite duties under the Medical Registra-

-tion Ordinance, 1864. (Quo vide Sect. 10: reference Sects. 13 &

14.)

Although the Board will be most willing in the

future, as it has been in the past, to give its' opinion and

advice on any question sent to it for consideration, the Board does not think that this should be made one of its official

duties, and therefore the Board considers it inadvisable that the

words "on recommendation of the Medical Board" after the word

"may" in Section 3, should be inserted in the proposed Ordinance.

I am etc.,

(3d.) F. 0. Stedman, Hon. Sec.,

Med. Board.

The Honourable

The Colonial Secretary.
