The PRESIDENT-Handrecka in the cutbrosk of 1902.
Mr. HooPER-I was fortunately abeant during that year.
Tie REGISTRAR GENERAL-I beg to second your motion, Mr. President. After all we wast ples some conadence in our experis until they are shown unworthy of it, and Dr. Hunter, from
is report, seems to take a enutions view, and not to be actuated by any wild theories. I must say with regard to grosijans of publia health, that is the event of Dr. Hunter, our bacteriologi, being supported by the Medical Ufeer of Health, I have no difficulty in voting for anything of this kind enmended. I don't suppose Mr. Humphreys or Mr. Hooper wish to wait for the discovery of cholera bacillus in the well before elesing it; that would be closing the door after the horus was stolen.

as full of diseum gərme, but if they were going to prevout the poople in Hongkong from breath-, lug because of the germe of bacillus coli in the air they would be placed in an skeurd position Dr. Hunter referred to a romark made by the spenker at a provians menting of the Board about bacteriology being one thing and chemical analysis another, the inference being that he (the speaker) had changed his views. He had not done anything of the kind. Undoubtedly
his minute, bacteriology was unaful in finding but germs in water which could not be dla covered by Chemical analysie, bat on the other hand chemicni nuslysis readily detected p ixona which bacteriology would unver discover. It came to this, that if basterislegient examination stated that cholers germs were present, and the elemical analysis gave nu opposite report as to potability of certain water he could give priority to the chewical analysis, becsase it was more corisin. The other was more dolientu bat Bot so certain. With regard to E." he acted that swage was readily detected by sharical ozamination. Dr. Huuter said it was not. Ho the well be allowed to remain oper.
