question of plague prevention, and therefore the memorandum just issued by Dr. Francia Clark, Medical Officer of Health in Hongkong, will be seriously considered,・ At the present time Bong- kong is threatened with one of the worst visitations of plague it has experienced. Already 600 cases have been reported this year, and the Sanitary Board has been reviewing the situation. The outstanding statement in Dr. Clark's memorandum is that wholesale rat poisoning as a plague preventive measure has failed in Hong- kong as it has elsewhere, owing to the fertility of the rat in the presence of an ample food supply. The experience of the Crown Colony in the last three years has been that the greater the population the larger the number of rats, This is explained by the fact that increased population means increased garbage, on which rats thrive. Consequently Dr. Clark strongly advised that all the efforts of the Sanitary Department and the community should be con- centrated upon the speedy removal of refuse of all kinds from the precincts of dwellings and offices, and that no measure that would help to exelude rats from these premises should be neglected. This is exactly what the Health Department, in Shanghai has endeavoured to achieve since plague first made its appearance in this part. Holding the view that it is more important to decrease the rats' food supply than to trap or poison these vermin, Dr. Arthur Stanley inaugurated a system of rat and fly proof cement and iran refuse bins in local alleyways, Since the installation of these bins the alleyways have been cleaner than ever before, but teaching cleanlines to the Chinese is a heart-breaking task.
Outbreaks of plague usually occur in

seldom are cases reported in the middle of the summer. Since the beginning of the year the number of reported cases in Hongkong has gradually increased, and the annual returns show that, in spite of the wholesale poisoning of rats in the infected areas, the number of these posts: has multiplied at an alarming rate. Dr. Clark says in his memorandum that this rapid increase in the rat population is the natural result of the growth of the nativo population during 1911, when some 40.000 to 50,000 Chinese poured into the Colony, and in 1913, when an even larger, number sought refuge in Hongkong. may therefore congratulate itself on its VILLAS inmunity from plague, for the influx of

refugees was far greater here than in, Hongkong, and during the bombardmentį of the Arsenal thousands of Chinese were living in shelters or the streets, every dwelling 'being filled to overflowing. ft is true that quite recently a Chinese died of plague, but this was an isolated case. Nevertheless the strictest precautions in the way of spraying houses in plague faci with a strong disinfectant, rat proofing, clearing garbage, etc. are constantly taken. In connection with these preven tive measures some comparison may be made between the practice here and in Hongkong. Last year 87,000 rats were collected and examined” in the Colony, while in Shanghai 177,000 rats were trapped and 15,000 doad rats removed. Only the dead animals are examined in Shanghai, and a separate staff is employed. to collect the bodies and note details, so that the Health Office is able to say positively where each rat came from, Thus it is possible to take more stringent Poesesnion, 1st May, 1914.

They know that Sanatogen is a genuine tonic which really does what is claimed for it-that it does actually strengthen the

There is no doubt that Sanatogen will have these truly wonderful effects on you. And there is no better time. for taking Sauatogen than now, when the enervating weather makes a tonic almost indispensable.
Sanatogen
The True Invigorator.
Be guided by the experience of the multitudes of Europeans in te East who have testified to the value of Sanatogen, and who depend on it to keep them healthy and vigorous through this trying season of the year.
Remember that your principal defence against fevers, gout, rheumatism, sciatica, etc., is to raise your vital powers to the highest possible pitch and increase the germ-destroying elements of your blood, for which purpose there is nothing so effectual as a course of Sanatogen. Begin taking it to-day.
Splendid for your Health- especially for your Nerves.
You will be surprised at the remarkable improve- ment which Sanatogen will produce in your general health. And you will be most surprised at its strength. ening, exhilarating effect on your nervous system. In stead of feeling tired and listless, gloomy and irritable, you will go through the day with calm, cheerful energy, and you will do things with real rest.
Why let another day pass with your nerves depressed and your vitality lowered? Why not go not to the nearest Chemist and buy a bottle of Sanat
will ogen? When you have done so, your only regret" be that you did not try Sanatogen before. (For a Free Descriptive Booklet, send post-card, mentioning this paper, to A. Wulfing & Co., 6, Kinklang Road, Shoeghal.)
