The History of the Chinese Public Dispensary movement, which had its birth in 1905 was outlined yesterday afternoon when a portrait of Hon. Dr. S.W. Tso, Chairman of the Western Chinese Public Dispensaries Committee, was unveiled by the Hon. Mr. A.E. Wood, Secretary for Chinese Affairs, at the Tsan Yuk Hospital.

The function was intended as a farewell party to Dr. Tso as a tribute for the good work he has done on behalf of the hospital, which will be handed over to the Government on January 1, 1934.

The portrait was subscribed for and presented entirely by the matron, the sisters, and the nursing staff, past and present of the Tsan Yuk Hospital.

A distinguished gathering attended the function, amongst those present being Sir Shouson Chow, Hon. Dr. A.R. Wellington, Director of Medical and Sanitary Services, Hon. Dr. R.H. Kotewall, Hon. Mr. T.N. Chau, Hon. Dr. and Mrs. S.W. Tso, Hon. Mr. A.E. Wood, B.H. Lo, Mr. Tang Shiu Kin, Mr. Wong Kwong Tin, Professor and Mrs. R.E. Tottenham, Dr. (Mrs.) A.L.J. Dovey, Dr. D.K. Sany, Chan Lim Pak, Mr. Li Po-kwai, Dr. W.B.A. Moore, Dr. L.C. Hunter, Dr. Pauline Lai and Miss Leung (Matron of the Hospital).

MR. WOOD'S SPEECH

Addressing the gathering, Mr. Wood said:

Ladies and gentlemen; Our hostesses to-day are the Matron, Sisters and the nursing staff past and present, of the Tsan Yuk Hospital. As one of their guests, I wish to thank them warmly for their hospitality. I have been asked by them to say a few words on this occasion which, as you all know, has for its principal object the payment of the Hospital's tribute to the Hon. Dr. S.W. Tso, and in particular the unveiling of a photograph of Dr. Tso, which has been subscribed for and presented entirely by the Matron, the Sisters and the nursing staff, past and present.

I do not propose to go into great detail about the history of the Tsan Yuk Hospital. Later on I expect Dr. Tso will tell us something about that. There are, however, a few facts which I should like to mention, and which I think you will be interested to hear. This Hospital was opened in October, 1922: and during the eleven years of its existence the number of babies born in its wards is more than ten thousand, I don't know much about these matters, (laughter), but that seems to me to be a pretty good record. Miss Leung, our invaluable Matron, has been with us all the time except for some months spent in post-graduate study at the Rotunda Hospital, Dublin. Mr. Tsang Fuk-hing has performed clerical duties and acted as dispenser for the Hospital ever since it was opened, and Dr. S.K. Lam, as Resident Medical Officer of the adjoining Western Public Dispensary, rendered willing and able service for a number of years.

DR. HICKLING'S WORK

I need not tell you of the work done here by the late Dr. Alice Hickling. Her name will always live in Hongkong. She was responsible for the medical work here from the beginning until 1927 when Professor Tottenham of University took charge of the maternity department; and to Professor Tottenham the Hospital owes a great debt of gratitude.
