The Other Side.

Mr. Koxik. In reply, pointed out that it would be impossible to dis- euss such a subject without going into the native system, which was based on over 5,000 years' ex- perience, an experience of trial and No native doctor could con- tinue bis practice if he killed one or two of his patients, and he con- tended that the native system had stood the test of time. The wes tern viewpoint was always #NFO: elated with bacteria, while the native's was something akin to philosophy.

Mr. Choo ably seconded the pro- posal, and stressed reasons for the abolition of native doctors.
