The subject is not avoury but it must something done for the preservation of public health. We bare dealt with it ha a simple matter of disease but the Bishop of Singapore bas seen fit to barge in with arguments based on we know not what, and we feel that it is necessary to put more of the simple facts before the public. The Chinese Protectorate is in possession of far more information ou the subject than any other body, and the memorandum sent to the Committee of Doctors by the Hun. Mr. D. Beatty is one of the most informing documentarie en France, we have seen with reference to "local conditions past and present. Mr. Beatty Trust Company has this pertinent ouervation to make: "If it is desired to deal effectually with the problem of Venereal disease from a medical point of view, it will be neces sary to do so without regard to religious scruples, which, in my view, it is illogical to apply in a country in which the vast majority of the population are hou Christian, and are roi infiuenced by the same standard of region as is supposed to exist in Europe; is a matter of fact the standard of morality in China is probably just as high as in Europe, but the disproportion between the sexes here, and the fact that the Colony is the meeting place of persons from all over the world, many of them with a low standard of morals, and the relaxation of the paternal intcence, which is so.

In the face of Dr. Hunter's state- ment does his pride glow. more warmly? If his object is the encouragement of disease it should, but we do him the credit of believing that his mind refuses to necept any evidence that runs counter to its own presumptions. Dr. Rattray sums up with the statement that "The young Straita-bora Chinese are being brought to marriageable age in a diseased state, are married in it, and produce their

So we go back to Dr. Hunter, 30%, FL | DEALERS & REPAIRERS, Beatty and the whole of the expert committee, and ask what is to be done? The Bishop meddled, and the proven. result was to make matters far worse 22, than they were. In the days before the centres were scattered all over the town the "known" brothels were comparative- ly well cared for, because they kept up a regular system of medical inspection, and the girls submitted, willingly to treat, ment. la these places persons! clean- liness was insisted upon, and had a very great influence in checking the spread of disease. Mr. Bealty points out in his memorandum that while serving in Kuala Lumpur he made regular inquiries at the hospitals, and I nearly every case disease was not contracted in n known brothel The simple truth is that all experience proves the greater danger of the ly or clandestine, and the effici- ency of medical care. Also it is import- ant to bear in mind the very great advance that has been made in recent years in the treatment of the disease. This may be stated almost positively, that where sound instructions are follow- ed the risks of infection for man woman are reduced to a minimum, änd that in some of the most serious forms of the disease, it is possible to make the woman incapable either of contracting or transmitting That is an important fact! Theoretically we agree with Mr. Beatty that both man and woman shoula he isolated when capable of infecting. just as in the case of other contageous diseases. But we have to reconcile the theoretically perfect with what prac ticable, and Dr. Hunter holds quite clear- ly that, The source of the spread of venereal disease is the infected pro- stitute. The infected man is not a meri- ous factor. He may at the most infect one or two woman, but beyond that he does not count. An infected prostilate may infect literally hundreds

in mind it is surely difficult to resist his conclusion that "If a woman deliber ately choose such a life, she is a source of dirger to the publie and should be made to submit to certain regulations which will tend to limit that danger." Regulation will be of încalculable advan tage to herself, and if once the principles were dearly understood the women who practice here. would submit without" de mur.
