Children's Clinic (Thursday morning) Dr. T. Y. Li. 544 new cases seen and treated: many of these cases attended more than once, making a total of 1,100 cases.
The total of cases seen and treated by the Medical Unit at the Out-Patient Department during the year 1931 was 14,973 (this. figure includes old and new cases, Men, Women and Children).
The children's clinic is rapidly increasing and it is to be deeply regretted that the accommodation for sick children in the medical wards is practically non-existent.
A few cases admitted have been treated very successfully and the result is that more demand is being made on us for the admission of sick children,
The Staff of the Medical Unit have not for some time published any original work but investigations are being carried out with regard to-
(a) Renal Disease and Malaria :
(b) The Thrombocytes in Malaria :
(c) Blood Sedimentation Rate in various tropical conditions. (d) Hæmatinics in Ankylostemiasis.
The last mentioned investigation has been carried on with the eager help of Miss C. C. Pau, M.B., B.S.
All these points require careful study and the work must be controlled before any really reliable results can be published.
Towards the end of December a small epidemic of Diphtheria broke out. Cases occurred amongst the Staff of the Government Civil Hospital. At the beginning of the outbreak the acting Director of Medical and Sanitary Services, Dr. Valentine, requested

It is with the greatest pleasure that I place on record receipt of an excellent gift to this Unit from Sir Elly Kadoorie and his sons in the form of a Diathermy machine, and if the work it has already done is any indication of its future activities it will cer- tainly prove to be a great boon to the poor Chinese whom we treat in our wards. Sir Elly and his sons may be assured that we appreciate most gratefully their generosity and public spirit.
