DR. RAZLAG'S TREATMENT OF LEPROSY IN SOUTH CHINA,

Some few weeks since we dealt with Dr. Adolph Razlag's work among the lepers, of South China, and pointed out the great benefits which are being derived by the afflicted in the newly erected asylum near the leper village of Fat Fung Yun near Canton. We have since had an opportunity of perusing a report of the special treatment he adopts, and which, we may observe is proving of the great est use in arresting and curing the loathsome "First of all," Dr. Razlag says, "the bath

I suppose I ought by rights to head this Taku as i am down here for a few days rest; one of these bright intervals of sanity to which logged journalism looks forward as the months rule by, as a brief foretaste of the ideal hereafter, it is some 18 months since my last spell of recreation here, and there are many soralf changes. One could never justly allude to the hi toric fortifications here as "frowning forts" but such as they were they are gone. The opposite bank of the river if not an absolute plain is virtually razed, a meaningless table- fand from which in one place is uplifted a huge circle of masonry, once the concrete foundation of a formidable gun, and from another a sloping clevation where our own guns were recently stationed. From a moral point of view the destruction is complete enough. From a stra, tegical point of view there is a plain which a few days' steady work would reconstruct into a fort. I shall try and get over there during my stay and examine the site carefully, I am under the impression, however, that the general scheme is not entirely effaced. With this ex- ception and the addition of one or two houses the place is much altered in appearance, not nearly so much as Tengku is, where building is in rapid progress and wharfs and godowns are multiplying. I have the good fortune to be staying in the house with Mr. Johnson, the man who in gou went with the Russian naval officer into the forts to give the ultimatum of the Admirals to the Chinese General before the forts were taken, and he is full of interesting reminiscences of a time which must remain of the most intense interest to all of us until a fresh series of events rivals or eclipses our past experiences. Just as I arrived he had received the gratifying information that he is awarded the medal and clasp for his tact and bravery in Fresh Blacards were put up last night announ› penerating the hou's den with his outspokencing theirst day of 4th moon as the date on challenge on that memorable 16th of June, which all foreigners are to be driven from the 1909, and the only regret is that the deserved land, and thus a stop put to increase taxes. acknowledgment was not given more promptly. -P.

Information from our neighbouring province of Honan is of a nature to rather thwart plans for Yuan's removal as the state of affairs sug- gests a rising at any moment, but much will depend on what significance the foreign minis ters attach to this. From letters from N. Honan it is very clear that all the taxation squeeze of the officials is being directly attributed to the freigners. A placard recently posted-calls upon the people to hold a masa meeting and
