rard and Mr. P... Lamb, the other In introducing Professor Ger-

speaker of the day, Mr. Lau King- ing. President and founder of the Baclety thanked them for having consented. to speak. He said that the Society would be very successful in its work "guided by Professor Gerrard. Mr. Ļau urged members to continue their work and remarked that it would now be run in à large scale and not in the small way is before.

Professor Gerrard began by con- gratulating the Society on the voluntary and good work it was doing for the people of the Colony. He said that there was not much between oplump and heroin; and then went on to deal with the effects of opium first, Oplum Professor Gerrard said, originally came from Mesopotamia. It was first used as a medicine for the treatment of dysentery. It was only 100 years ago that the Chl- nese got the habit of oplum smok- ing seriously..

Between 1828 and 1835 18.000 chests of opium were Imported into China and between 1835 and 1839--only a tafter of four years time-30,000 chests were imported, The Chinese were surely not to be blamed for the development of oplam smoking. Professor Gerrard continued.
