;

Election

I was born and educated in: Hongkong, am * Bachelor in Surgery and Bachelor of Medicine of the University of Hongkong and have practised medicine in this Colony since 1912. During that time my work has taken me mainly among the middle and poorer classes, and I have thus had peculiar opportunities of realising the hygienic needs of those who live on the lower levels and in Kowloon, and of seeing wherein lies the need for sanitary reform in the Colony as a whole. I have made and am making -a close study of Hygiene, and not merely from theoretical point of view; and I venture to claim that my idea and methods on all sanitation questions are practical and up to date. My: work as Medical Officer to many large charitable institutions
