ANOTHER ROBBERY.

SIX MEN ENTER HUT AT WONG NEI CHONG.

Several men are being sought by the police in connexion with two robberies with violence that have occurred in the past two days.

Following the story told to the police by an aged widow that six men armed with a revolver, ham mers and choppers had forced an entrance into her shed in the Au Tau district on Tuesday night and decamped with property valued at $16.50, comes another report of a similar affair.

"No you don't, sonny," said the man in the queue, as a small boy must pushed his way in. "You take your turn, you know."

WHO WAS

HIPPOCRATES?

Medical and surgical selence owes much to this an- cient Greek medicine inan, who practised in the Island of Cos between four and five hundred years before the birth: of Christ,

A great believer in the cura- tive effects of Nature, 'Hippo crates also advocated the study of diet and the pursu- ing of a course of life. best calculated to promote health. Nevertheless, he did not hesitate, when these methods. failed, to have recourse to surgery, one of his axioms be ing: "What cannot be cured bý medicine must be cured by the knife: what cannot be cur- ed by the knife 'must be cur- ed by fire. 20.

Hippocrates wrote many books about medicine, physics and life. So far from being purely a scientific enquirer, he was a man with a remark able literary gift, and a maker. of maxims which have endur ed through the centuries, per haps the most famous being "Life is short, art is long,

In the practice of medicine, however, he had the true scientific mind which approa ches its problems entirely free from prejudice, or super- stition, and in the way he went to work there was little difference between him and a modern scientist.
