Our Medical Articles

Sir. It is a pity your articles on medical subjects are so inaccurate and misleading. I refer to your articles "Convulsions in Children" and "Penicillin Cures Ear Trouble." My doctor tells me that the com- monent cause of convulsions in in- fants is from a high temperature, Temperatures develop most com- monly with teething and constipa- tion. Some fearsome and rare diseases like meningitis wero men- tioned which put the wind up half the mothers In Hongkong, when the commonest causes were not men- tioned.
