MORE ON THE TWO OBELISKS AT TAI TAM1
A LONG STANDING RESIDENT OF HONG KONG2
417
The author advises that, when he was a child in the 1930s, in Hong Kong, he was told that the two obelisks had been erected by workers from the Tai Tam Dam project. In the early stages of construction, many workers had been afflicted by malaria. The construction company, however, obtained supplies of quinine, which was administered to the work force, and which effectively quelled the outbreak.
