WEIHAIWEI.
The coucealment of plague cases and the dumping of dead bodies have oft ntimes engaged the attention of the Government and the Sanitary Board. At previous discussion of these matters the Medical Officer of Health (Dr. Clark) gave it aahis opinion that the Chinese did it in order to save expense, while the members coutended that it was not so, but due to the drastic measures enforced, the Chiness poor being always able to obtain both free medicins and from medical attendance from the Tong Wa Hospital, which also under takes to bury at its own expense the dead of the poor.
The allegation of the Chinesa membore appears to have been now verified, us in addition to too di tiet bospitals offering free medicine, coffine, stc., Mr. Ho Kam-tong, as a test of the allegation, has widely advertised on his own account to give free coffins and pay the costs of burial for the poor, and yet in a very few cutos has his generosily been availed of, and dumping, I understand, still continuer.
Considering the existing circumstances, I venture to remark that short of medications of the procedure so persistoutly followed from year to year and so long as the terrible fear in consequence thereof is not abated, the evil will ever remain to Le a dificult problem.
For the information of members, I may hear enumerata a few of the details which have

WONDERFUL CURE
Covered from Head to Foot with Hu- mours-Forty Boils on Head at One Time-Could Not Shut Eyes to Sleep-Doctors Did No Good.
CURED BY CUTICURA
IN ONE MONTH
Mrs. George H. Tucker, Jr., 335 Green- field Avenue, Milwaukee, Wis.. is grateful mother. "When six months öld," she says, “my little girl weighed a pound and a half less than at birth, When one month old a scab formed on her face, spreading until it completely coveted her from head to foot, followed by beils, having forty on her head at one time, and more ou hier body. Then her skin started to dry up, and it became so bad she could not shut her eyes to sleep. One mouth's treatment with Cuti- cura Soap
and Ointment made a com-
plete cure, and now my child is as large, strong, and healthy as any child of her age. The doctor's and drug bills amounted to a large sum, and my baby grew worse all the time. Then we got Cuticura Soap and Ointment and cured her at triding expense."
CUTICURA A BLESSING
To Skin-Tortured Babies and Tired Mothers.
The safering which Cuticura Soap and Caticura Ointment have alleviate among the young, and the comfort they have afforded worn-out and worried parents, have led to their adoption in countless homes as priceless coratives for birth humours, milk crust, scalled head, eczemas, rashes, and every form of itch- tag, scaly, pimply skin, und scalp humours, with loss of bair, of
