Table I is a detailed list of the number of cases and deaths of each particular disease. A few of these call for special comment. In the first place there was no big epidemic of any one disease. The admissions for Diphtheria, Dysentery, Typhoid fever, Beri beri and Malaria were less than during the previous years. There was no case of plague. On the other hand, the figures for Influenza, Pulmonary Tuberculosis and Acute Enteritis are higher.
Three cases of Rabies were treated without success.
The number of cases admitted to hospital suffering from general and local injuries, many of them of a severe nature and ending fatally, was very high, there being over 1,000.
A certain number of beds (about 90 in all) are set aside for the use of third class Asiatic patients who are under the care of the University Medical Staff. This Staff consists of the Honorary Visiting Physician, Surgeon and Gynaecologist, their respective assistants and resident House Officers.
There is the closet co-operation between the University Staff and the Government Medical Officers to the best possible interests of the patients.
Out Patients Department:-This is now entirely managed by the University Staff (Government servants are attended to between the hours of 9. A. M. and 10,30. A. M. by a Govern- ment Medical Officer.) Patients attend in the morning and after- noon. Teaching clinics are held at certain hours.
Treatment, including medicines and dressings is. free of charge. A local practitioner holds a special eye clinic one after- noon a week.
This Department is a great boon to the poorer class Chinese, and the clinic is largely attended.
16,969 persons attended as out-patients.
27,032 prescriptions were dispensed.

There has been a great reduction in the incidence of Malaria among the Wei Hai Wei contingent, but the incidence of venereal disease among these men has increased.
The Maternity Department:-This consists of a one storied building and can accommodate 20 patients. Half of the beds are for first and second class patients (European and Asiatic) under the care of the Government Medical Officers. The other half are for third class Asiatic patients under the care of the University Obstetrical Staff.
