Scientific Co-operation.

I am, therefore, delighted to nec that here in Hongkong there is close co-operation of friendship between the Hongkong Chinese Association and the Medical Hongkong Branch of the British Medical Association.

I am very glad to be present at a dinner such as this, where the one Association is the guest of the other. And I am confident that this spirit of scientific co-operation in medical matters will be of im- mense benefit not only to the pub- lic health, but also to the moral and social welfare, of this Colony On behalf of the guera I thank and ladeed of South China as well.
