Report of the Government Analyst.
GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,
HONGKONG, 11th June, 1887.
SIR,-I have the honour to forward a statement of the work done in the temporary laboratory of this Hospital during the year 1886.
2. During only a few months was I able to do any regular analytical work.
3. In November 1885, the Student Apothecary, who had only served about four years of his studentship resigned, and it was not until February 1st, 1886, that a new student entered on his duties. The pharmaceutical work of the department, including the dispensing of all medicines for the Civil Hospital and out-patients of the Police and Civil Services, was in the meanwhile done by me.
4. During the following months I was actively engaged in training the new student, and in attending to the wants of the patients, until August, when, on account of the pressing calls for analy- tical work from the Sanitary Board, a proposal was made by Dr, JORDAN, the Acting Colonial Surgeon, that the dispensing for the Lock Hospital should be done in this Department, and that the Apothecary should take my place in the Civil Hospital pharmacy, so that I might be able to conduct the analysis so urgently required by the Sanitary Authorities. This was sanctioned by the Government; but Mr. DE SOUZA, who had then seen some twenty years service, was compelled, on account of failing health, to retire on pension, very soon after being transferred to this Hospital.
5. The attempts made to work in the Laboratory, during the months of August and September, 'met with only partial success.
6. It was next proposed that Mr. U. C. DA SILVA, who some years ago had served as dispenser in the Seaman's Hospital, should be temporarily appointed as the successor of Mr. De Souza, and that, as a permanent measure, a qualified Pharmacist should be obtained from England. The Government approved of these suggestions, and Mr. SILVA is still rendering assistance in this Department pending the arrival of the new assistant Apothecary.
7. I have pleasure in reporting that Mr. UI KAI, the new Student Apothecary, is making satis- factory progress with his studies. In November, when I was on the sick list, he was able, for several days with occasional directions from me, to take sole charge of the dispensary.
