Referebao was also made to the conditions preceding the

onset of the epidemio namely, an wusually cold winter and a

prevalence of influensa and pharyngitis.

d. The prevention of epidemio meningitis has been

shown to depend upon the sative co-operation of the native

with the health and sanitary officers.

In general, it may be stated that very little if any

progress can be made unless a thorough education of the

Chinese ás undertaken, particularly concerning the Western

ideals of the treatment and prevention of epidemic meningitis.

The conditions of life among the Uhinese in the Colony tend

to spread this dissuas almost exclusively among them. There

are hopes that even the usual wethods of instruction and

enlightenment, as the ginens, pamphlets, advertisements,

lectures in Chinese, exhibitions; and the awakening of inter-

est among the native officials and physicians, may lead to active co-operation and the demolition of thebarriers of the

native's passive resistance.

In brief, the most important factor in the supervision

of epidemic meningitis in the Colony is the prevention of

overcrowding. Hence the greatest consideration should be

given to this problem.

The other general preventive measures include the

education of the native in the matter of personal hygiene. Those principles dealing with the care of the nasal and pharyngeal mucose and with the prevention of the spread of nose and mouth discharges from one to another are especially

to be impressed.

Attention has also been called to the futility of

condua ting an epidemio campaign by means of a board or

committee and it is recommended that the authority for managing preventive measures rent upon the individual.
