She is on the Hongkong, Shanghai,' Yokohama, Victoria and Seaule run. Built, fitted and furnished throughout at the yards at Nagasaki, she presents all the best points of the up-to-date floating hotel. On arriving on board one is struck by the capable manner in which the combination of cargo ship and pas senger ship has been overcome Thirty six

DEAR SIR,-You were quite right to call attention to the shocking manner in which our Medical Department is at present undermanned and, for the matter of that, always has been, It certainly speaks very well for our overwork- ed doctors when one considers what splendid attention one receives at the Government Civil -Hosital, but is it well to work the willing horse to death? for one, would like in see the medical staff at least doubled so that those who have to care for our welfare when we are help..
