Cultivations which had been mixed for more than three hours, even if containing only one-half per cent Quicklime, showed no growth.\n\nFurther experiments with chemicals should have been made, but as my time was extremely limited I had to leave them to a future time.\n\nThe following is a short review of 'The Plague' generally. History shows us that Plague epidemics existed in the 14th century both in Asia and Europe and thousands of human beings perished. Since then from time to time, now here, now there, an epidemic has appeared, and until lately the disease almost seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth. This however was not so. In China it has existed to this day, especially in Yunnan, where it occurs every year in an endemic form. From the latter place it was imported to Canton and from Canton for the first known time has reached Hongkong.\n\nThis recent outbreak has given us opportunity for studying this disease—a cause of mystery for centuries—with the means which modern science places in our hands.\n\nThe principal symptoms of the disease now ravaging Hongkong are the following:—After the period of incubation, which lasts from 3 to 5 days (possibly a little longer and some doctors say as long as eight days), the patient complains of high fever and swelling of one or more of the lymphatic glands (Buboes). These swellings may antedate, coincide with, or follow the rise in temperature, and are accompanied by severe pain. The most common gland affected is one of the femoral chain—next an inguinal, next axillary, and sometimes a cervical gland is affected. The tongue is coated with a greyish-white or dark brown heavy fur. There is commonly headache, also delirium; the heart is generally affected; occasionally vomiting and diarrhea are present (not frequently the two last conditions, which are generally forerunners to a fatal issue).\n\nIn patients who survive the onset of the disease the temperature does not fall until a week has passed, and convalescence is a slow process.\n\nSex and age make no difference in the disease; men and women, infants and old people are attacked equally.\n\nIf in such a case as described, the blood be examined, the before-described Bacilli, in greater or lesser numbers, will be found present. (In 30 patients I obtained 25 positive results, and two of my subjects which were without Bacilli were subsequently proved not to be suffering from the plague at all.)\n\nAs indicated before, it is not always an easy matter to demonstrate the presence of the Bacilli directly in the blood of many patients—they are present sometimes in such small numerical strength that only after examining several slides can they be discovered. In order to be safe, not only must the blood of a suspected plague patient be examined, but a cultivation should also be made.\n\nIn the buboes the Bacilli always occur in the form of pure cultivations, but it is obviously not always easy to procure a specimen of bubo-contents from the living subject.\n\nThe question arises,—\"Is it possible to make a diagnosis of Bubonic Plague from examination of the blood of the suspect?\" In many cases, Yes! But a good deal of bacteriological practice is required or such diagnosis is impossible.\n\nIt is a well-known fact that so far, amongst infectious diseases produced by bacilli, only two micro-organisms have hitherto been found in human blood, viz., the bacillus of anthrax and the spirochætæ of relapsing fever (we do not include the plasmodia of malaria). Here in the blood of human beings suffering from bubonic plague we have a new bacillus possessing the following qualities:—\n\n1st. This Bacillus occurs in the blood, in buboes, and in the internal organs of the plague-stricken ONLY.\n\n606", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-263 - Acting Governor Barker Governor Sir Robinson - 1894 [5-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 368282, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "page_number": 103, "title": "CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12]", "content_text": "# Enclosure 2 in N-27\n\n## A BILL\n\n### ENTITLED\n\nNo. 10:- -[28.10.99]\n\nAn Ordinance to suppress the spread of infectious and contagious diseases.\n\nWHEREAS it is expedient to provide means to suppress the spread of infectious and contagious diseases:\n\nBe it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-\n\n1.

Having driven the inmates into a cubicle, they robbed the house at their pleasure, stealing $59 worth of jewellery and $104 in cash.\n\nThere was quite a lively scene in Yau Ma Tei the other night, when a mob of Chinese surrounded the police station crying for vengeance upon an Indian constable.\n\nAs far as could be gathered, it was alleged that the constable, who was off duty, had assaulted a Chinese. Quiet was not restored until a considerable force of police had been marched to the scene by Mr. P. P. J. Wodehouse and Mr. T. H. King. A baton charge dispersed the mob which numbered some hundreds.\n\nLady Stubbs opened a small bazaar held on March 20th in the Church Hall of St. Andrew's, Kowloon, in aid of the Mission Hospital at Yunnanfu and St. Dunstan's Home for Blinded Soldiers. H.E. Sir John Fowler, K.C.M.G., C.B., presided at the opening ceremony. Instructive missionary exhibits were on view and kinematograph films were shown during the evening also illustrative of missionary work. A large number of helpers contributed efforts to make the affair a success.\n\nMr. O. T. Breakspear, manager of the Publicity Bureau for South China, is leaving for Home by the City of Simla towards the end of the present month. The work of the Bureau will be carried on by Capt. A. G. McClay, who has recently arrived. During the past three years Mr. Breakspear has been the Hon. Corresponding Secretary for the Overseas Club in the Colony, and Mr. Eric Rice has consented to take over these duties in the meantime.\n\nUnder the title of labour organizations before the war, the Government Bureau of Economic Information publishes a list of 47 bodies. The workers who are so organized include labourers, cooks, employees of vegetable shops, printers, seamen, mechanics, warehouse coolies, girl hosiery makers, weavers, blacksmiths, carpenters, masons, laundrymen, tailors, barbers and shoemakers. The list also includes a ricksha coolies association, but a note explains that this has been organized by the managers of ricksha concerns and has no relation with the coolies at all.\n\nShanghai residents, and perhaps the Shanghai police, who were startled some weeks ago by the killing of a Korean in broad day in a public thoroughfare (says the Peking correspondent of the N.-C. Daily News) may be interested to know that the victim was not named Yang, as then reported, but was the more or less notorious Kim Lip, an agent of the Irkutsk bureau for the dissemination of Communist propaganda among Oriental peoples, who came to Peking last summer with Russian gold to the value of $400,000 and resided for some time at various road houses in the Western Hills.\n\nThe inevitable has happened. Costs are rising as a consequence of the strike. By advertisement this week the Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf and Godown Co., Ltd., and Holt's Wharf announce that from the 1st of next month the charges for landing, shipping and storing cargo will be increased by 10 per cent., owing to the increased cost of working and maintenance.\n\n56\n\nMr. William Yinson Lee, a prominent merchant of Sydney, arrived last week by the s.s. Arafura on a business trip to Hongkong and South China. During the recent visit of the Prince of Wales to Australia Mr. Yinson Lee had the honour of presenting the address of welcome from the Chinese community of all the States of the Commonwealth to His Royal Highness.\n\nThe health return for the week records 15 cases of plague (all Chinese excepting one Portuguese case). Eleven of the Chinese cases proved fatal. There were also three fatal cases of small-pox (Chinese); two non-fatal enteric and paratyphoid fever; and one non-fatal case of scarlet fever (British) and one of relapsing fever. Influenza accounted for two deaths during the week.\n\nA rice merchant was attacked by four men, whilst riding in his private ricksha on March 16th, and robbed of $146. The attack took place at the junction of Wilmer Street with Des Voeux Road. One of the men threw pepper in his victim's face, and the others dragged him out of the ricksha. A wallet containing a quantity of notes was stolen. An attempt by one of the men to snatch his gold watch and chain failed. The robbers disappeared when the merchant blew his police whistle.\n\nAmong the passengers who left the Colony by the Andre Lebon were M. Reau, the French Consul-General, who, we understand, will not be returning to Hongkong. M. Reau's departure is much regretted by the French community and many friends of other nationalities. Other well-known French residents of the Colony who left by the French mail steamer for France with no intention of returning were M. and Madame Lecab'e. As agent of the Société des Charbonnages du Tonkin M. Lecab'e had resided in the Colony for some years and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. M. and Madame Lecable intend to settle in France.\n\nA clipping from a home paper has now been received giving further details of the tragedy which occurred at Gibraltar.\n\nA serious collision occurred on Praya East on March 18th. Two motor cars, which were meeting one another, were about to pass, opposite Wai Wo's yard. At that point, also, two or three rickshas were proceeding westwards. The driver of the west-bound motor car (which belonged to the Dragon Garage) misjudged the available space and caught one of the rickshas full in the back. The occupant, Mr. H. Gelling, of the Daily Press, was hurled by the force of the impact a distance of some yards and narrowly escaped crushing his head against a verandah pillar, which was only missed by inches. As it was, he sustained many severe contusions and is now under treatment by Dr. Dalmahoy Allan. The ricksha coolie was hurt about the head and the ricksha is a wreck.\n\nThe names of a special jury were called for the Praya murder trial at the Criminal Sessions on March 20th. Later Mr. W. S. Bailey arrived in Court and explained to the Chief Justice that pressure of work had caused him to overlook the matter; he was very sorry. The Judge said it was a very serious matter. In consequence of Mr. Bailey's absence another gentleman had to serve in his place. The Chief Justice added that he could see no possible excuse whatever and Mr. Bailey would be fined $50.\n\nA report states: \"Dr. Lovell Moss, who has a medical practice here, was returning by motor-car from a dance to his residence at Algeciras, accompanied by his wife and sister-in-law and chauffeur and assistant chauffeur, when he was caught in the chains at a level crossing on the Andulaces Railway at Los Barrios, and almost simultaneously run into by a troop train. Mrs. Moss and the two chauffeurs were killed on the spot, while the doctor and his sister-in-law were conveyed to a hospital here, where they are lying in a critical condition.\" News has since been received in Shanghai that Miss Molloy died the day after the accident and Dr. Moss the day following.\n\nPage 30\n\nPage 31", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 495373, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-481 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1923 [8-12]", "page_number": 43, "title": "CO129-481 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1923 [8-12]", "content_text": "Tung Wah Hospital Statistics,\n\nThe number of patients at end of 1921 was 33\n\nThe number of patients admitted during 1922 was 514\n\nThe number of patients who died during 1922 was 30\n\nThe Nethersole Hospital,\n\nThe number of patients remaining at end of 1921 was 12\n\nThe number of patients admitted during 1922 was 594\n\nThe number of patients who died during 1922 was 35\n\nThe Alice Memorial Hospital.\n\nThe number of patients remaining at end of 1921 was ...\n\nThe number of patients admitted during 1922 was 474\n\nThe number of patients who died during 1922 was ...\n\n- 35 -\n\nTable II - CASES OF NOTIFIABLE DISEASES RECORDED IN EACH MONTH OF THE YEAR 1922.\n\n \n \n Typhoid Fever\n Paratyphoid Fever\n Small-pox\n Cholera\n Diphtheria\n \n \n \n European\n Chinese\n Others\n European\n Chinese\n Others\n European\n Chinese\n Others\n European\n Chinese\n Others\n European\n Chinese\n Others\n \n \n January.\n \n 13\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 1\n \n \n \n February.\n \n 23\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n March.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n April.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n May.\n \n 5\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n June.\n \n 31\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n July.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 234\n 29\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n August.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n September.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n October.\n \n 13\n 3\n \n \n \n \n *19\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Total, 1922,\n 1\n 1174\n 1,181\n 1\n 149\n 150\n 6\n \n \n 20\n 22\n \n 100\n 139\n 75\n \n \n Total, 1921.\n \n 115\n 19\n \n 1x\n 17\n \n 14\n \n \n 27\n \n \n 41\n 79\n \n\n \n \n Scarlet Fever\n Relapsing Fever\n Typhus Fever\n Cerebro-Spinal Fever\n Puerperal Fever\n \n \n \n European\n Chinese\n Others\n European\n Chinese\n Others\n European\n Chinese\n Others\n European\n Chinese\n Others\n European\n Chinese\n Others\n \n \n Total, 1922,\n 3\n 24\n 1\n \n 6\n \n \n \n \n \n 204\n 22\n \n \n \n \n \n Total, 1921.\n \n THO\n 191\n \n 6\n 20\n \n 10\n \n \n 71\n 47\n $\n M5\n 3\n \n\n \n \n Yellow Fever\n Rabies\n \n \n \n European\n Chinese\n Others\n Persons\n Dogs\n \n \n Total for 1922,\n \n \n \n \n 31\n \n \n Total for 1921,\n \n \n \n \n 36\n \n\nPage 35\n\n \nThe returns relate to philanthropic institutions and have been included in this report as in former years.\n\n \n Total for 1922\n 129\n 827\n 537\n 376\n 106\n \n \n Total for 1921\n 42\n 117\n 138\n [I]\n 126\n \n \n \n 30\n 24\n 25\n 40\n 38\n \n \n \n \n BN\n 35\n \n \n \n \n \n Ni\n 5\n NI\n 53\n 122\n \n \n \n 125\n 3\n Ni\n 1.717\n 763\n \n \n \n \n 1\n 40", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-481 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1923 [8-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 495387, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-481 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1923 [8-12]", "page_number": 57, "title": "CO129-481 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1923 [8-12]", "content_text": "61\n\nTable I.\n\nDiseases and Deaths in 1922 at the Civil, Victoria, and Gaol Hospitals.\n\n \n CIVIL HOSPITAL.\n \n VICTORIA HOSPITAL.\n \n \n GAOL HOSPITAL.\n \n \n \n \n \n Nomenclature,\n Remain ing in Hospital Dec., 1921.\n Admis sions.\n Deaths.\n Remain ing in Hospital Dec., 1922.\n Yearly Total.

Under these conditions, it is the Chinese habit to close the windows of their houses, thereby seriously interfering with their ventilation, while in the hot weather, it is customary for large numbers to sleep in the open air.\n\nThe epidemic may be said to have begun in November, 1921.\n\nAfter a period of 47 days free from plague, a case notified on November 14th, 1921. A severe epidemic is usually presaged by the occurrence of a few cases during the last few weeks of one year and the first few weeks of the next, even though the numbers for each week be small.\n\nIt was therefore expected early in 1922 that plague would be severe during the year.\n\nFortunately, the number of cases which were recorded, though high, fell short of what might have been expected.\n\nSince the last two severe epidemics, the population of the Colony had greatly increased, but the incidence of the disease...\n\n94", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-481 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1923 [8-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 495441, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-481 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1923 [8-12]", "page_number": 111, "title": "CO129-481 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1923 [8-12]", "content_text": "January.\n\nFebruary\n\n76\n\nTable II-CASES OF NOTIFIABLE DISEASES RECORDED IN EACH MONTH OF THE YEAR 1922.\n\n \n Disease\n January\n February\n March\n April\n May\n June\n July\n August\n September\n October\n November\n December\n Total, 1922\n Total, 1921\n \n \n Plague\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n ...\n ...\n \n \n Typhoid Fever\n \n \n 3\n -\n 10\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 20\n 22\n \n \n Paratyphoid Fever\n \n \n \n \n 2\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 13\n 10\n \n \n Cholera\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 1\n ::\n \n \n Small-pox\n \n 7\n 33\n 2:3\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n ...\n ...\n \n \n Diphtheria\n \n 2\n 2\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 4\n K\n \n \n Puerperal Fever\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 1\n ::\n \n \n Malaria\n \n \n \n 1\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n ...\n ô\n \n \n Yellow Fever\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Scarlet Fever\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Relapsing Fever\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Typhus Fever\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Cerebro-Spinal Fever\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 2\n 4\n \n \n Rabies\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 2\n \n\nTotal, 1922.\n\nTotal, 1921.\n\n \n Disease\n European\n Chinese\n Others\n Total\n \n \n Plague\n \n \n \n ...\n \n \n Typhoid Fever\n 1,174\n 1,181\n 149\n 1,717\n \n \n Paratyphoid Fever\n 6\n 1\n 1\n ...\n \n \n Cholera\n \n \n \n ...\n \n \n Small-pox\n \n \n \n 768\n \n \n Diphtheria\n \n \n \n 106\n \n\nTable III.

The incidence among the police of the New Territories for the same period was:\n\n| Year | Number |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1925 | 1,205 |\n| 1926 | 877 |\n| 1927 | 428 |\n| 1928 | 278 |\n| 1929 | 265 |\n| 1930 | 258 |\n| 1931 | 148 |\n| 1932 | 55 |\n\n89. Many of the Police Stations are screened and every man is provided with a mosquito net. Prophylactic quinine is issued and the living rooms are regularly sprayed with an insecticide in an endeavour to kill any adult mosquitoes they may be present. The police on night patrols are of course liable to infection.\n\n90. The total number of deaths attributed to malaria was 455, giving a death rate of 0.56 per mille for the Colony. The lowness of the rate is, of course, due to the fact that the great majority of the population living in the drained urban areas are outside the zone of flight of malaria carrying anophelines and, therefore, not subject to risks of attack.\n\n## Dengue\n\n91. There was no epidemic of this disease during the year and only a few cases came under the notice of the Medical Officers.\n\n## Filariasis\n\n92. Researches carried out by the Malariologist show that this disease is far more prevalent than was supposed. An infection rate of 12 per cent was noted in one area. A full description of the investigations will be found in the Malariologist's Report. In spite of the number infected there are very few cases showing symptoms of elephantiasis.\n\n## Infectious Diseases\n\n93. The infectious diseases of the Colony may, for convenience, be classed into those which are notifiable and those which are not.\n\n94. The most important of the non-notifiable infectious diseases are Pulmonary Tuberculosis and Leprosy.\n\n95. The notifiable diseases are Plague, Cholera, Smallpox, Yellow Fever, Typhus Fever, Cerebro-Spinal Fever, Enteric Fever, Para-typhoid fever, Relapsing Fever, Scarlet Fever, Diphtheria, Puerperal Fever and Rabies (human and animal).\n\n96. Responsibility for reporting a case of notifiable disease lies with the legally qualified medical practitioner attending a case, or, in the absence of such, on the occupier or keeper of the premises or on the nearest male relative living on the premises, or in default of such relative on any person in charge of or in attendance on the sick person. Reports are to be made to the Medical Officer of Health or to the Officer in charge of the nearest Police Station.\n\n97. In actual fact practically the only reports received by the Medical Officer of Health are:\n- (a) those from qualified medical practitioners.\n- (b) from the Medical Officer in charge of hospitals.\n- (c) from the Medical Officers in charge of the Public Mortuaries where bodies have been taken for inspection and disposal.\n\n98. The Health Authorities when they do discover a case of infectious disease have no power to remove it to hospital unless the patient or his guardian consents, or unless a Magistrate makes an order for removal.\n\n## Tuberculosis\n\n99. Pulmonary Tuberculosis ranks second to broncho pneumonia as the principal cause of death. The total number of deaths was 2,042, that for 1931 being 1,983. The death rate per mille was 2.52 as compared with 2.60 for the previous year. Pulmonary Tuberculosis in the majority of cases is a disease which unfits the individual for the active exercise of his employment months or even years before death supervenes. Because of the tendency of those unable to work and earn a living to leave Hong Kong for their villages in China the deaths reported form an incomplete index of the prevalence of the disease.\n\n100. The number of cases of disease is unknown but reckoning 10 for each death the total comes to over 20,000.\n\n101. There is nothing to add to what has already been said with regard to this infectious malady. There is no sanatorium or home for the care of those who have contracted infection and the victims continue to struggle against their affliction under conditions which leave little hope for recovery.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-545-8 Annual medical report 1932 2-11-1933 - 16-5-1934.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 543261, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-545-8 Annual medical report 1932 2-11-1933 - 16-5-1934", "page_number": 33, "title": "CO129-545-8 Annual medical report 1932 2-11-1933 - 16-5-1934", "content_text": "## Leprosy\n\n102. Though leprosy is a notifiable disease, very few cases are ever notified and the number of cases in the Colony is still a matter of conjecture. Assuming the rate of incidence in the neighbouring country to be at least one per mille population, the number of lepers in Hong Kong and the New Territories cannot be less than 500.\n\n103 is missing, but 18. To many, this figure will appear to be an exaggeration; nevertheless, it is accepted by all those who are authorities on the subject and who have taken the trouble to make the necessary enquiries. Assuming that one-third of the population is Hong Kong-born, one-third of this number, or 166, are lepers for which the Colony is responsible. There is no leper asylum in the Colony.\n\n14. Lepers who are not British subjects are prohibited from entering the Colony, and any such who find entrance may be deported. Lepers who are Chinese subjects are sent to Canton, whence they proceed to Shek Lung, where there is an official asylum of the Kwang Tung Government, the direction of which is entirely in the hands of the Catholic Mission. During the year, the Hong Kong Government paid to the Mission a donation of $2,500.\n\n## Notifiable Infectious Diseases\n\n105. The number of cases of infectious disease notified during the year and those notified in 1931 were:\n\n| Disease | 1932 | 1931 |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Bubonic Plague | 0 | 1 |\n| Cholera | 241 | 212 |\n| Smallpox | 205 | 231 |\n| Diphtheria | 202 | 214 |\n| Enteric | 15 | 207 |\n| Paratyphoid | 25 | ... |\n| Relapsing Fever | ... | ... |\n| Cerebro-spinal fever | 19 | 1 |\n| Typhus | 37 | ... |\n| Yellow Fever | 0 | 0 |\n| Puerperal Fever | ... | R2 |\n| Rabies (human) | ... | ... |\n| Rabies (animal) | 1 | ... |\n\n## Smallpox\n\n106. Every year, during the winter months, this disease manifests in outbreaks which are sometimes epidemic and sometimes sporadic, to disappear with the advent of summer.\n\n107. Evidence collected by the League of Nations, Singapore Health Bureau, from countries in Asia extending from Baghdad on the west to Japan on the east, shows that the season of greatest prevalence commences about November and declines about March to disappear during the next two months. What causes this disappearance is not clear. It cannot be temperature alone, for in Southern India and Ceylon and Malaya, it is always hot. Humidity is probably the potent factor, for the commencement of the hot weather often coincides with the commencement of the rainy season.\n\n108. During the year, 248 cases were reported, of which 129 were notified through the Medical Officers in charge of Mortuaries, that is, after death had occurred. The total number of deaths was 175. Allowing for a case death rate of 25 per cent for all ages in this well-vaccinated Colony, the real number of cases was 175 x 4 or 700. If this be the true figure, then 64.5 per cent of the cases evaded discovery by the sanitary authorities and went through the various stages of this very infectious disease in one or other of the overcrowded tenement houses.\n\n109. Of the 129 mortuary cases, many were corpses dumped in the street at night and conveyed to the Mortuary next morning by the Police. The total number of dumped bodies was 1,427, so that the claim that the chief cause of dumping is concealment of infectious cases for fear of the attention of the Sanitary Authorities cannot be substantiated. It is, however, true that fear of punishment for concealment is one cause of dumping.\n\n110. That a child should not be vaccinated until it has passed its second Chinese New Year is a belief prevalent among the local people, and immediately after the New Year, the dispensaries are crowded with mothers bringing their infants to be done. A child born just after New Year is thus two years of age before it is vaccinated. In spite of the law requiring children to be vaccinated within six weeks of birth, many remain undone until the so-called propitious period, and thus there is always in the Colony sufficient suitable soil for the growth and development of the smallpox virus.\n\n111. The concealment of cases, the dissemination of the virus by fomites and contacts, and the existence of a sufficiency of suitable soil explains the continuance of smallpox despite the number of vaccinations which are done yearly.\n\n112. The total number vaccinated during the year under review was 279,420, as compared with 154,451 in 1931 and 244,789 in 1930.\n\nPage 50", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-545-8 Annual medical report 1932 2-11-1933 - 16-5-1934.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 549505, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-555-12 Medical Registration Ordinance 1935 4-10-1935 - 29-6-1936", "page_number": 13, "title": "CO129-555-12 Medical Registration Ordinance 1935 4-10-1935 - 29-6-1936", "content_text": "# FIRST SCHEDULE.\n\n## FORM No. 1.\n\n[s. 4 (1)].\n\n### MEDICAL REGISTER,\n\n#### PART I.\n\nPersons Qualified to practise Medicine and Surgery generally.\n\n \n Name.\n Address.\n Nature of qualification.\n Date of qualification.\n \n\nhe holds the degree of ... of the University of Hongkong, or that he holds a degree, diploma or licence in medicine and surgery of ...
