    KWONQ-WAI-SHIU FREE HOSPITAL, SINGAPORE. (Managed entirely by Chinese with 3 Chinese Doctors trained in Eastern methods and one trained in the local Medical School). During the year under review 3,406 cases were treated to a conclusion in this hospital of whom 733 died. On the Western side 873 cases were treated with ng deaths, a mortality of IS'yS per cent. On the Eastern side there were 3,406 cases with 614 deaths, showing a mortality of 21'99. As the result of the Principal Civil Medical Officer’s recommendations note taking has been started on the Western side and I understand that a microscope is to be purchased. The sanitary state of the hospital is good and the Managers appear anxious to keep it so. I have never found any difficulty in getting details under this heading attended to. /
