THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, JULY 191a, 1918.

I remember one of the points was that under section 16 tho Registrar of Com panics, when he was appointing auditors of Chinese companies, should be advised by a Board of Chinese merchants, inas- much as the auditor of a Chinese Company has to be differently qualified to the auditor of an English or Europoun Com- pany, because the two systems of kooping: accounts are different, and a competent. English accountant is not necessarily & compotent Chinese accountant. isco in

the section as it stands now that no provision has been made for this, and I believe, unloss this point is settled it can- not be said that the Bill has been agreed to by the Chinese community. I hope the learned Attorney-General will see how far he can go to introduce an amendment to section 18 to give effect to the recom- mendation of the Chinese community.

HIB EXCELLENOY-Was the arrangement to get the names of approved auditors approved by the Chinese, and to furnish the Registrar with a list of those names?

The REGISTRAR-GENERAL-The Board that nt and discussed this matter advised that a selection of business men should sit with the Registrar of Companies and approve Chinese auditors who sent in their

names

His EXCELLENcr-We may just as well clear up this point. We were duly informed by the Registrar-General what the wishes of the Chinese community wete, and it was understood that the Registrar of Companies would take the advice of Chinese gentlemen before he published the names of auditors, but we did not think it at all necessary to put:

provision of that nature into the Ordinance. It was a thoroughly under

BANISHED BY

MOTHER SEIGEL'S SYRUP

Mr. P. V. Walsh, of Laurel Cottage, Meriden Road, Coventry, writes on November 28th, 1912: "For many years I was a school. master in the Army, and while stationed at Agra in India, suffered fearfully from Indigestion. This was a new and painful experience for me, who had always enjoyed good health and a repurazion for unusual strength, Sleeplessness, paine after eating, sickness, and frequent nausea were the principal symptoms in my case.

This condition of health continued for nearly five years, and then the time arrived for me to return home. I confidently expected the change would put a speedy end to my sufferings. But it did nothing of the I was just as bad in England as in India.

Much against my will and solely to please my wife's father, I agreed to try the remedy, and was surprised and gratifled at the road. The benefit began within three days, and by the time I had taxen several small boules was. well. I have been speaking of July, 1910, and indigestion has never once troubled me since.”

Indigestion, if neglected, can undermine the strength of the strongest man In Mr. Walsh's case it made him weak and miserable for nearly five years. If you suffer as he did, why not follow his example, and let Mother Seigel's Syrup remove the complaint? Take it in daily doses. and you will soon feel the benefit.
