Continuing, His Excellency said :--Honourable members of the Legislative Council, -Victory as complete as any subject of His Majesty the King could have wished for is signified by the Armistice which Germany has signed. Victory gained by the splendid strategy of Marshal Foch and the tactical skill of the leaders on the various front, to which the fine endurance and bravery of the Allied forces gave effect. Victory has come at last, and though this is not the occasion for reviewing all the great deeds that have brought about the triumph of right over might, it is fitting that while we are gathered here to-day we should mark our deep sense of gratitude to those who on the sea, on land and in the air have by their valour made the victory possible. Our Navy has earned an imperishable record of duty nobly done, without which all the vast efforts of the land forces would have been unavailing. A loss of five thousand combatants out of twenty-two million guarded in their passage across the seas sums up better than any elaborate phrases can do what our Navy, aided in no small degree by our Japanese Allies, has achieved. Ever since our soldiers by their stubborn resistance and indomit- able courage stayed the final onrush of our foes in the early part of this year, they have fought side by side with their French, Italian, Belgian and Portuguese comrades, and with the wonderful new-born army of the United States of America, forcing back the enemy at every point of the Western Front. Strategy and endurance have achieved their end. With all our Allies we rejoice to see this day, and while we rejoice at the end of strife we treasure in our hearts the precious memory of those who have given their lives in winning freedom for the nations of the world. In numberless homes to-day the glad tidings of impending peace after years of terrible anxiety will bring a joy that no outward manifestations can adequately express. The wounded, the maimed and the prisoners are being restored to those they love, while the devastated lands and cities are again being occupied by their rightful owners. All has been so ordered by Almighty God, to whom, in another place, we shall shortly return thanks for His great mercies. Here our duty is to render the homage due to our King, who throughout the war has shared in the hopes and sorrows of his people. I therefore beg to move the following resolution:-

"The Members of the Legislative Council of Hongkong assembled in special session present their humble duty and desire to express to Your Majesty the heartfelt rejoicings with which Your Majesty's loyal subjects in the Colony of Hongkong have received the news of the Armistice with Ger- many signifying by its terms complete victory for the British Forces and those of their gallant Allies."

Hon. Mr. H. E. POLLOCK--Your Excellency, as senior Unofficial member of this Council I beg leave to second the resolution which has just been proposed by you, and I desire, on behalf of myself and my colleagues to associate ourselves with those senti- ments which Your Excellency has just now so feelingly expressed.

The motion was put to the meeting and carried with acclamation. His Excellency then called for three cheers for the King which were heartily given and the Council adjourned.

Proposal to make provision for a chair and ricksha stand in conjunction with the new station to be constructed by the Peak Tramways Company at

Barker Road.--(C.S.O. 6272/1906 Part II.)

The Chairman explained that, as the accommodation at Barker Road Station for chairs and rickshas is very limited and, as the configuration of the ground and the proximity of Plantation Road on one side and of the Peak Tramway on the other preclude the possibility of increasing such accommodation, except in conjunction with a scheme for roofing over the Station itself, he had been in negotiation with the Tramway Com- pany's Engineers (Messrs. Leigh & Orange) on the subject of so designing the new Station as to provide accommodation for chairs, etc., and a small shelter for coolies.

Messrs. Leigh and Orange had submitted a plan which he laid before the Committee and also an estimate for making such provision as he had indicated. The estimate of the cost of making such provision was $4,385.

The Committee agreed to recommend that the proposal shown on Messrs. Leigh and Orange's plan should be adopted and that the Government should contribute a sum not exceeding $4,385 towards the cost of the Station structure subject to the condition that the liability of the Government as regards the future maintenance of such structure be limited to the following:-

(a) The platform extending over the area coloured pink.

(b) The surfacing of the eastern portion of the area coloured grey, measuring

about 25' 0" x 24' 0".

(d) Any seats in the Coolie Shelter.

(e) Any boarding or other material used to enclose any portion of the Coolie Shelter. The Government to have the right to fix any such boarding or other material to the stanchions or columns.

The Peak Tramways Company to be liable for the maintenance of all other portions of the structure, including all stanchions or columns.

During my stay in Hongkong every facility was afforded me by the Government of Hongkong to establish a complete organization for the production of antimeningococcic serum and to investigate thoroughly the various aspects of the nature of the epidemic.

Since my arrival in the Colony, the following communications were sent to the Prin- cipal Civil Medical Officer, Dr. J. T. C. Johnson, for the information of the Government.

May 9th, 1918.-A report advising the preparation of antimeningococcic serum in the Colony.

May 9th, 1918.-A request to cable the Rockefeller Institute to discontinue sending further supplies of serum.

May 16th, 1918.-A report on the therapeutic efficacy of the various types of anti- meningococcic sera in use at Hongkong.

May 16th, 1918.-A report on the type of meningococcus prevailing in the epidemic. May 17th, 1918.-A report on the advisability of preparing a vaccine for the pre- vention of epidemic meningitis, stating therein, however, the experimental nature of the vaccine.

May 18th, 1918.-A request for permission to study the inmates of the Victoria Gaol with reference to the presence of carriers.

May 25th, 1918.--A statement of intention to address the laity at the Helena May Institute on May 27th on "Infection how contracted and how avoided, with special reference to Epidemic Meningitis"; and the medical profession on the recent advances in the therapy and prevention of this disease on June 20th.

May 26th, 1918: A communication informing the Government that four horses have been started for the production of antimeningococcic serum.

June 13th, 1918: Report on the fact that 2461 per cent. of 130 inmates of the Victoria Gaol harbour in the nasopharynx meningococcus-like organisms.*

I shall endeavour to correlate these communications, tracing the subsequent develop- ments of the investigations started so that in the end the principles underlying the treatment and the prevention of epidemic meningitis in the Colony will be emphasized.

1.-The Production of Antimeningococcic Serum in the Colony.

The conclusion to produce serum was arrived at as a result of (a) determination of the type prevailing amongst the patients in the Colony; (b) the examination of the various sera for treatment, in use during the epidemic; (c) the possibility of epidemics recurring in the future and (d) the inability of the Colony to procure reliable serum promptly.

(a) The prevailing type of meningococcus. Up to the present time, there were isolated from the spinal fluids of 59 patients as many pure cultures of meningococci. These 59 cultures were tested for type with the following results :---

normal type (regular or ortho meningococci) para type (parameningococci of Dopter) irregular para type

.56;

* An additional communication was sent July 2nd, 1918, advising that no diagnosis of epidemic meningitis be accepted

from mortuary cases unless both a macroscopic and microscopic examination of the brain and meninges are made.

The para type corresponds to Type I of Gordon's (English) classification; the normal, to Type II; the irregular para type possibly to Type III. The para type agglu-- tinations ranged from 1:50 to 1:800; the irregular para types showed these reactions:-

1:800

1:50

From these tests it is obvious that about 95 per cent. of these patients have been infected with the same type of the meningococcus.

It has been definitely established that immune serum made with one type fails to afford protection to the other types of meningococci. Hence it is advisable to prepare a serum contaming a high antibody content against this type, the parameningococcus. However, should the type in the future change, and to cover the exceptional case infected with another type, the Government Bacteriologist has been instructed to include in his antigen, the other types (although in smaller amounts), thereby making the serum polyvalent to a degree. He has also been instructed in the preparation of rabbit immune serum for type determination so that in the event it becomes desirable to change the antibody content of the serum to meet with the local conditions it will be easily accomplished.

(b) The examination of various antimeningococci sera for antibody content. A survey of status of the treatment of patients revealed that there were four sera from different sources in use. One serum was prepared by a commercial firm and three were prepared by Government laboratories.

Ten cultures of meningococci, isolated from patients in the Colony were submitted to agglutination tests with these sera.

The results are tabulated (with Flexner's serum used as a control) as follows:-

Serum.

Commercial laboratory

Government Laboratory A.

......

Number of cultures agglutinated.

Number not agglutinated.

Flexner's serum (control)..

The Flexner serum agglutinated the eight cultures in dilutions of at least 1:800- while the other sera agglutinated the cultures usually in dilutions of 1:50 with the limit in a few instances of 1:400.

Hence with the possible exception of the serum from Government Laboratory A, the antimeningococcic sera available in the Colony is low in antibody content. Furthermore, as it has been determined that the agglutinin content runs parallel with the therapeutic efficacy of a serum it may be stated that the Colony has had supply of inefficient serum.

Therefore another element in favour of producing serum under the supervision of the Government is added.

(c) The possibility of epidemics recurring. When a potent serum will have been made, will there be need for it? The occurrence of sporadic cases of epidemic meningitis throughout the summer is quite possible. Although the weather is warm at present (a time when meningitis tends to disappear naturally) from three to five cases are still being reported daily (mid-June). This would lead one to believe that under the adverse con-- ditions of the cold season, another epidemic may occur. Indeed, the amelioration of the recent epidemic is due to the fact that the susceptible element has been to a great extent affected, leaving a considerable number of insusceptible persons; but active migration of the population usually occurs into the Colony, thus bringing a new susceptible element in contact with the great number of carriers. Carriers in great number are undoubtedly developed as a result of an extensive epidemic, and, under adverse conditions, as over- crowding, the advent of new elements of the population may result in another outbreak.

(d) The great distance of the Colony from the sources of supply of reliable serum adds another factor in favour of its production locally.

On these bases, the report was submitted to the Government advising the prepara- tion of antimeningococcic serum in the Colony.

In order that a supply of a potent serum be on hand until the horses at Hongkong are sufficiently immunized the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research has presented to the Government 625 doses of antimeningococcic serum, which I have brought with me, and 500 doses which were shipped subsequently, making a total of 1,125 doses.

In testing the Flexner serum with all the cultures of meningococci which are on hand at the Bacteriological Institute it was found that of 59 cultures, the serum aggluti- nated 54. The Government having subsequently agreed to produce serum locally, four horses were started in an attempt to have them yield serum approaching as nearly as possible this standard.

It is believed that the yield from these horses will be adequate to the needs of the Colony.

2.---Treatment of the Patient.

The marked success of specific treatment of epidemic meningitis needs no commen- tary. The results of over 1,300 cases treated with serum supplied by the Rockefeller Institute have been summarized by Flexner (Jour. Exper. Med., 1913, Vol. XVII, page 553) in these words: "It is our belief that the analyses of histories of cases of epidemic meningitis which have been presented, furnish convincing proof that the antimeningo- coccie serum, when used by the subdural method of injection, in suitable doses and at proper intervals, is capable of reducing the period of illness; of preventing, in large measures, of chronic lesions and types of the infection; of bringing about complete restoration to health, in all but a very small number of the recovered, thus lessening the serious, deforming and permanent consequences of meningitis, and of greatly diminishing the fatalities due to the disease."

Notwithstanding these facts it appears that only very few of the great numbers of Chinese received serum treatment. The records of the Tung Wah Hospital (presented by Dr. Thomas, House Physician) show these results (from February 2nd to May 20th, 1918:-

Of the 85 patients receiving Western treatment, 14 patients were treated by lumbar puncture only. In this series the mortality was 57.1 per cent., 71 received 1 to 5 lumbar punctures and were injected incom- pletely and with sera of low antibody content. In this series the mortality was 45 per cent.

Of the 332 patients receiving Chinese treatment, 228 received at least one lumbar puncture. The mortality in this series was 511 per cent.

From the Tung Wah Hospital statistics one may note, as well, that the series in which repeated lumbar punctures were made while showing an improvement over that in which no treatment whatever was given, is far from a satisfactory procedure. The mortality in a series of 346 patients treated in this manner was 54'1 per cent. Compared with the brilliant results obtained by proper serum treatment, it is certain that no other method but the latter is indicated at all times.

By the proper method of treatment is meant :----

1. The use of a potent serum.

2. The injection of the serum early in the disease.

3. The injection of sufficient amount in a systematic manner.

4. The intravenous injection combined with intraspinal.

Depending on the severity of the case and the amount of spinal fluid withdrawn, 30 to 60 cubic centimeters should be injected intraspinally. While the temperature remains high and the meningococcus is still present in the cerebrospinal fluid, the injections may be repeated every 12 hours. The next interval between injections should be 24 hours, then 48 hours as improvement ensues. In severe cases, however, the injections are persisted in at more frequent intervals. In one of two cases at Hongkong, a Portuguese patient, in whom the treatment could be properly followed, improvement followed the use of 600 cubic centimeters of the Flexner serum. This patient suffered from a very severe form of the disease and the prognosis was very unfavourable at the start.

In severe cases, it is also advised to give 50 to 100 cubic centimeters of serum intravenously. The intravenous injections should supplement the intraspinal. In four of ten moribund cases in the Tung Wah Hospital upon whom blood cultures were made, the meningococcus was found circulating in the blood. The same type of meningococcus (the parameningococcus in all four patients) was found in the blood as in the spinal fluid. The positive blood cultures serve to emphasize the necessity of injecting the antimeningococcic serum intravenously as well as intraspinally. The method is especially indicated where signs of a generalized meningococcic septicemia is in evidence as shown by skin hemorrhages or joint affections, and in fulminating cases.

The Government should use great efforts in attempting to overcome the prejudices of the Chinese to Western treatment. The objections of the community to proper serum treatment is of course wholly responsible for the terrible mortality of almost $5 per cent. That this mortality is from three to five times as great as it is under proper treatment should be told the Chinese in a system of education and enlightenment. With the aid of influential members of their community, they may take a more rational view of specific treatment. The Government is therefore advised to take this matter under consideration.

Now with an ample supply of serum at hand, and with its systematic use, our hopes are that this disease will be robbed of its devastating effect in the Colony. The Superin- tendent of the Government Civil Hospital, Dr. C. W. McKenny, has been fully instructed with regard to this method of treatment and it is advised that he undertake this phase of the activities during an epidemic.

3. The Diagnosis of the Disease.

A survey of the course of the epidemic makes it certain that numerous cases of epidemic meningitis have occurred but have escaped detection.

The first reports showing diagnoses of epidemic meningitis were returned to the Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Gale, on February 9th. On February 11th, there were reported eight verified cases. Since then, cases were definitely diagnosed as epidemic meningitis. As this disease in epidemic form has a definite course and as a great number of cases of hemorrhagic smallpox were reported previously to February 9th, 1918, although no distinct epidemic of smallpox was evident at the time, it is logical to assume that some of these cases were that of epidemic meningitis. Indeed, on February 5th and 6th, four cases of hemorrhagic smallpox were reported; January 28th, to February 5th, eight cases were reported. With the greater number of subsequent reports of epidemic meningitis, hemorrhagic smallpox ceased to be a factor in the daily returns. The same assumption may apply to the several cases of a typical enteric fever reported during January.

To this class of "missed cases, may be added another, still more important from the point of view of prevention, the mild and ambulatory cases. For these are the great sources of spreading the infection. They will be referred to later.

Lumbar puncture is an absolute essential in the treatment and in the recognition of cases of epidemic meningitis. Due to certain objections on the part of the Chinese community the procedure is not favourably entertained.

It is desirable to swab the nasopharynx as well when the symptoms are suspicious and the spinal fluid removed is clear, for practically almost every case of epidemic men- ingitis harbours the organism in the post-nasal mucus. To this measure, as well, the Chinese resist.

If the resistance of the Chinese is maintained, it is obvious that an insurmountable difficulty will arise in the way of controlling the disease or reducing the appalling death- rate. Again, the Government is advised of the great importance of a systematic educa- tion of the natives so that the disease can be properly attacked.

4.--The Course of the Epidemic and the Factors Contributing to its Dissemination.

In the following, an attempt will be made to state the findings which resulted from an investigation on the course of the epidemic in the Colony, and the factors which con- tributed to its dissemination and continuance. In the next section these facts will be correlated to bring out the epidemiological conclusions.

(a) The course of the epidemic.---Epidemic meningitis is not a new disease in Hong- kong. There is evidence to believe that sporadic cases have occurred from time to time in the Colony. In the Philippines, of which Manila is the next port of call of the trans- Pacific steamships, seventy cases were detected three years ago.

In two of these cases, the meningococcus was isolated in pure culture from the cerebrospinal fluid and is still preserved at the Bureau of Science, Manila. As epidemic meningitis was not a notifiable disease until the present epidemic, there are no recorded cases. However, Dr. Johnson, the Principal Civil Medical Officer has seen a case five years ago in the Colony. Again, one may assume that sporadic cases may have occurred in Hongkong especially in view of the fact that it is one of the largest commercial ports in the world and thousands of passengers from everywhere pass through annually. No epidemics, however, were known until this outbreak.

During January 1918, increased numbers of cases were reported at the mortuary but no actual diagnosis of epidemic meningitis was made until February 9th, 1918. As I have already stated, the assumption that the epidemic started at least a month before this time seems to be well grounded. During the rest of February the cases were increasing in number (six to eighteen were reported daily). During March there were as a rule ten to twenty-four cases per diem reported; during April, six to fifteen; during May, three to seven and during early June the average number was about three. The epidemic started in January, reached its height in March, and declined gradually in April, reaching its low level in June.

(b) The number of cases and the mortality.--Up to June 1st, 1918, there were 1,041 patients reported. Of these only four were European. The 1,037 cases include, with the exception of a few Portuguese, Chinese exclusively. For the purposes of epidemio- logical study the Portuguese and Chinese are grouped together on the basis that the former although living apart from the natives exist under very crowded conditions. This number, 1,041, does not represent the actual number of cases. Many of the patients were "missed". On account of the mildness of the disease in many individuals, the diagnosis may have been overlooked. On the other hand, many Chinese who sought native healers and subsequently recovered were never placed on record. The actual number is undoubtedly much greater but it is impossible to approximate the figures.

Therefore the total mortality which is computed at 76'1 per cent. for the first 1,000 cases, does not represent the actual mortality, which, of course, would be lowered in view of the number of missed cases.

(c) The influence of age and sex. From the Tung Wah Hospital records of 417 patients, it will be noted that the ages of patients ranged from 4 months to 59 years: the average age was 22-68 years. In this series it will be noted that the number of affected males was slightly over twice that of the females. In a series of the first 750

cases studied by Dr. Gale the Medical Officer of Health (to whom I am indebted for various charts which she will publish in detail, separately) the peaks of the curve of incidence according to age are from infancy to 5 years of age and at 17 years, the latter especially for males. It is apparent then that the susceptible elements of the population are children and young adult males.

(d) Influence of meteorological conditions.-The temperature, the mean as well as the wet-bulb (temperature of saturation), had a marked influence on the incidence of the disease. In general terms it may be stated that when there occurred a sudden drop of temperature the number of cases increased and when there was a rise in temperature, the incidence of epidemic meningitis declined. From a chart prepared by Dr. Gale, one will note this relationship, as shown by the following table :-

Subsequently as the temperature rose, there was a corresponding decrease in the number of cases.

From this table it will be seen that, as a rule, about four days after a sudden drop of temperature there was a great increase in the number of cases reported. On the other hand it will be noted that rising temperature was usually followed by an ameliora- tion of the epidemic.

The influence of sunshine also made an impression upon the number of cases. Reversely, the lack of sunshine, showed an increase in the returns. For example, February 28th and March 1st, showed practically no sunshine, March 2nd, 4 hours, March 3rd, 1 hour; in other words, 5 hours of sunshine in 4 days. Three days later twenty-three cases were reported, the greatest number reported for a day with the excep- tion of one. There was practically no sunshine for 4 days from March 26th, on the fourth day after this period twenty-one cases were reported, although from five to fifteen cases were the rule for the previous week. Thus we see that the lack of sunlight shows a relationship to the increase in number of cases.

It is doubtful whether humidity or rainfall by themselves have any bearing on the number of cases. January and February were extremely dry months. Indeed the rainfall was considerably behind the average for several years. Yet February saw increasing numbers of cases and March, with relatively small amount of rainfall, showed the greatest number. Recently rainfalls were heavy but the corresponding number of cases was not influenced.

(e) Pre-epidemic infectious disease.--It is a matter of common knowledge amongst the practitioners, although no official records are available, of the great number of cases of influenza and sore throat prevalent in the Colony during the period preceding the epidemic (November and December, 1917). The Principal Civil Medical Officer states that an unusual number have come to his attention. This is attested by Dr. Jordan, the

Medical Officer of the Port, Dr. Macfarlane, the Government Bacteriologist, and Dr. Gale, the Medical Officer of Health. The epidemic was not severe in its effect, but the distri- bution of these ailments was quite general. On the other hand there is no evidence of any great increase in measles at this time nor mumps. Besides the prevalence of sore throat and influenza the health conditions of Hongkong was relatively good.

(f) Migration of the population.Migration may be an important element in the dissemination of the disease as well as in the recurrence or continuance of an epidemic. As for the first, namely, the dissemination of epidemic meningitis, there occurred in the ports of Swatow, Shanghai, Kobe, Osaka and Tokyo an extraordinary number of cases (and in most instances were recorded for the first time). These cities are along the main lines of travel out from Hongkong. The cases occurred a few weeks after the outbreak at Hongkong. For example, at Swatow about 60 cases developed during March. The Hongkong Blue Book for 1916 and 1917 places the emigration from Hong- kong at 117,653 and 96,298 respectively.

On the other hand the question of recurrence or continuation of an epidemie is related in a degree to the immigration. The immigration into the Colony for 1916 was 72,405 and for 1917, 98,232. The figures for 1918 are of course, not available. * It has been pointed out that the entrance of a new susceptible element of popula- tion from a non-infected district into the epidemic area of the Colony, and this new element, usually coolies, existing in close contact with the disease, will tend to increase the number of cases. Or they will cause a disturbance of the insusceptible ratio of the normal native population and when the cold season approaches, or under other conditions favourable to the spread of epidemic meningitis, there will be new soil for an outbreak.

(g) Geographical distribution of cases.-It is of interest to note that while it was of rare occurrence that more than one member of a family was afflicted, yet the disease showed its greatest number of cases in limited areas. One area is included by D'Aguilar Street on the east: Pokfulam Road on the west: Caine Road and High Street on the south and the Harbour on the north. In this area, the section bounded by Eastern and Western Streets notably overcrowded, is particularly remarkable with regard to the number of cases yielded. In Eastern Hongkong, the section between St. Francis Street and Wanchai Road, Queen's Road and the Harbour yielded the greatest number of patients. In the Kowloon Peninsula, the districts of Yaumati and adjacent Mong Kok Tsui and Hung Hom showed the greatest incidence of the disease.

All these districts correspond to the most crowded sections of Hongkong and Kow- loon. In areas where there is no crowding, notably the Tsim Sha Tsui, and the Hill District, there were none or comparatively very few cases developed.

(h) The overcrowling of the population:-As the disease was limited to a great degree in the overcrowded sections, it is important to investigate this phase of the epidemiology of epidemic meningitis.

Three causes operate to effect overcrowding. In the first place there are too many houses on too small a space, in this way causing structures to be in close proximity. In turn this gives rise to insufficient ventilation and for the most part very little light. The areaways and the streets or lanes are so narrow and the houses are so high (in proportion to the narrowness of the street) that not only ventilation and light becomes deficient but the air is always damp from wetness of the passageways. They are never thoroughly dry, possibly from the position of the Chinese community, namely, at the foot of the Hills where the water from the higher attitudes is continually settling.

In the second place, there are no arrangements for veutilation within the house. A typical example may be cited.

On June 7th, 1918, through the courtesy of Mr. Adam Gibson, Head of the Sanitary Department, I was permitted to make an inspection of No. 15, Chinese Street. This was done at about 11 p.m. I was accompanied by Inspector R. R. Wood of the Sanitary

* These figures are official returns. The actual number of Chinese leaving or entering the Colony is probably much greater. While the travel on most junks, all steamships, and railways can be determined it is impossible to account for small junks and sampans. The same proportion of immigration, however, is probably maintained in 1918.

Department. The first and second floors were inspected. The house is three storeys high. The measurements of the first floor is as follows:-

Length... Width

...31 feet 9 inches;

...13

thus making 5,818 cubic feet or 5,295 net cubic feet allowing for a stairway. The total window area equalled 518 square feet; one of the windows opens into a narrow street, the other into a chimney-like areaway.

The windows and door were bolted.

I was informed that this is a usual practice to.

avoid thievery or intrusion. The air was quite foul.

Not only was there no ventilation on this floor but a third factor of the overcrowding was in evidence here. This factor is the crowding of too many inmates occupying one floor.

This floor was subdivided into four cubicles, each cubicle containing the following number of persons: No. 1, six persons; No. 2, three persons; No. 3, two persons; No. 4, two persons. In a narrow hall-way were boards and trestles which were occupied by seven persons, making the total number of inmates twenty. The usual cubicle on this floor measured 7 feet in width, about 8 feet in length and 6 feet in height. Thus six persons in cubicle No. 1 existed in 336 cubic feet of air space--the air therein being unventilated.

The second floor contained seventeen persons, but the measurements and cubicles were the same in extent and arrangements. The doors and windows were likewise bolted.

1, Wo On Lane, 48, Stanley Street,...

1, Jubilee Street,..

In all these houses, the legal restrictions insist on seven to nine persons to the floor; the actual number was thirteen to twenty. The measurements and cubic contents are in the main as given above for the Chinese Street house. But, besides the actual over- crowding in this series of dwellings, there was, as well, no ventilation. The cubicles were heavily curtained admitting no air whatever.

Hence, there are too many houses over too small an area, there are no sanitary arrangements for light and air within the houses and there are too many persons living within the house. The relationship of these factors to the spread of the epidemic will be discussed later.

The tendency of the Chinese to overcrowd is noted throughout the community. The market is crowded daily and the streets surrounding the market are so filled with per- sons that at times it is impossible to thread one's way through. So the tram-cars, the lodging houses, schools, the matsheds, the streets and lanes, etc.

(i) The habits of the Chinese as they relate to the spread of the epidemic.-Certain infringements of the rules of hygiene which have special relationship to the spread of the disease are continually practised by the Chinese of the Colony. The most flagrant are in connection with the street restaurants. The edibles are exposed to the open air and served in dishes which have not been cleansed between the servings, so that what is in one's mouth is directly conveyed to another's. This condition prevails to a lesser extent in the house restaurants. The other infringements consist in the use of common (roller) towels, and common drinking cups; the drying and sorting of food on the high- ways or streets covered with frequent expectoration which is generally practised there as well as in the home.

(j) The relation of carriers to the epidemic.-No extensive work could be done upon contact carriers at the time of the epidemic, as I arrived in Hongkong at the time of its subsidence. However, in the following, I shall discuss the results obtained by Drs. Macfarlane and Earle, who made several cultures upon contacts of cases in Hongkong and my own investigations upon the inmates of the Victoria Gaol.

(1) Contact carriers.--Drs. Macfarlane and Earle's investigations extended from March 11th to May 13th and include cultures made as routine examinations of contacts with patients for the presence of the meningococcus in the nasopharynx. It appears that the work was very carefully done; only a few cultures were examined at a time and all plate cultures contaminated with saliva were discarded. The criteria for recognition of the meningococcus were (1) typical colony morphology; (2) absence of pigment; (3) acid production in dextrose and maltose and not in saccharose medium; (4) typical mor- phology by Gram's stain; (5) ready emulsification of the growth on subcultures. No agglutination tests were made, however. Sheep-serum water (1 part to 2 parts water) 20 per cent. agar, was used for the plate cultures.

Examining contacts of several patients, they found that:-

71 Europeans yielded seven carriers (9'8 per cent.)

133 Chinese yielded nine carriers (6'7 per cent.), making a total of 204 yielding

sixteen carriers or 78 per cent.

This is on the basis of a single examination.

The ratio of incidence of meningitis amongst the Europeans to the white population is as 1:1250; in the case of the Chinese to the coloured population as 1:509. * These cultures were taken at the height of the epidemic but the number of contact carriers in the both series are lower than is usually the case. One deduction however, can be made, namely, that the carriers are more prevalent among the Europeans, notwithstanding the fact that fewer were afflicted.

(2) Non-contact carriers.-As no opportunity presented itself to continue the study of contact carriers, my attention was paid to a class which may only be regarded nominally as non-contact carriers. In the event of an epidemic of such great extent as this one, a class can hardly be chosen as a representative non-contact group. It was finally decided that the Victoria Gaol, in which no cases have developed throughout the epidemic and having a daily average of six hundred inmates, would offer a suitable source for determination of the number of healthy carriers. The prisoners are, in the main, previous residents of Hongkong and the length of confinement varies from a few days to several years.

In interpreting the results these factors must be considered. The prisoners are kept isolated in individual cells; there is no overcrowding; sickness is promptly attended to. In other words, the sanitary conditions in the prison are better than in a great part of the Chinese community.

The following cultures were made on unlaked sheep-blood, veal-infusion agar with one per cent. dextrose (defibrinated blood, 1 part; agar 15 parts). The cultures were taken from the nasopharynx by means of a West swab, care being taken to avoid con- tamination with saliva. The plates were immediately incubated after inoculation. Each person's culture was made on one entire plate.

The results are as follows:---

Summarizing the results of the positive cultures, we find that there are :----

Normal types (corresponding to Type II of the English

classification),

Para type (corresponding to Type I of the English clas-

sification),

Irregular (neither normal nor para) including those men-

tioned under "4" above,

1.0

Therefore, notwithstanding the fact that no cases have developed in the gaol, we find in the series investigated that 2461 per cent. harbour meningococcus-like orga- nisms in the nasopharynx.

An analysis of the types found show that three inmates yielded para of irregular para- meningococci, the types prevailing in the epidemic in the Colony. Yet the normal or regular types of meningococci, which are capable of developing the disease, were present in 11 of the prisoners. The significance of the predominant normal types in the healthy carriers and the presence of the other irregular types is still under investigation. The types among the cultures of contacts taken by Drs. Macfarlane and Earle were not deter- mined so that no comparisons can be made.

The age of the inmate apparently has no bearing on the carriage of the meningococcus.

The length of time of detention in the gaol previous to the taking of the culture is summarized as follows:

Up to 1 month.

From 1 to 3 months.

From 3 to 6 months.

From 6 to 12 months.

After 1 year.

Negatives Positives....

It will be noted that most of the inmates showing positive cultures have been con- fined. up to 3 months. The epidemic was 5 months in its course when the cultures were taken. The three inmates who carried the same type of meningococci which prevails in the epidemic entered the gaol, 11 days, 29 days and 36 days previous to the culture. In other words, it appears that the old prisoners were less apt to be infected than the younger (with regard to the time of confinement).

With reference to the degree of infection, it will be noted that most of these carriers harboured only few or occasional organisms. However, in four carriers they were nume- rous (2 plus) and in two the meningococcus was the predominating organism (3 plus). One of these two carried the same type found in the patients (irregular para), while the other, the irregular type.

The former (Prison No. 5662) may be regarded as explain this term later on.

'dangerous carrier". I shall

Finally in several instances, more than one colony of the same plate culture was examined for type. The results confirm the already established fact that usually all the meningococci in the same nasopharynx are of the same type.

In conclusion, the results of the swabbing of a number of the inmates of the Victoria Gaol show: Firstly, that a number (24.61 per cent.) of carriers of organisms indistin- guishable from meningococci have been found. Secondly, that these carriers harbour practically all types of the meningococcus. Thirdly, that three of the carriers harbour organisms indistinguishable from the types of those found in the epidemic. One of these inmates carries almost a pure culture of one of the types prevalent in the epidemic. Fourthly, that the percentage of carriers in gaol is higher than that demonstrated by Drs. Macfarlane and Earle among the actual contacts with the patients during the epidemic. Finally, among the six hundred or more prisoners, no case of epidemic meningitis has developed.

5.--Epidemiological Conclusions.

The epidemiological conclusions from the foregoing findings are as follows:----

(a.) The pre-epidemic factors.-Sporadic cases of meningitis have occurred. Car- riers of meningococci have also been found in the gaol population, in some who have been inmates for over a year. On the other hand, the port is a great commercial centre and a carrier or a patient may have been “im- ported". In other event, the source of infection may have been a healthy carrier or a patient, native or foreign.

An excessively dry but extremely cold winter prevailed, at the same time there was an extraordinary number of cases of pharyngitis and bronchial affections and influenza.

These are favourable conditions in view of previous experience for development of cases of epidemic meningitis but these factors do not explain the great spread of the disease throughout the Colony, especially throughout the Chinese community.

(b.) The influence of overcrowding. The factor which impresses one as being of greatest importance in the dissemination of the disease in the Colony is the extensive overcrowding. The bases upon which this conclusion rests

are :-

1. The meteorological conditions.

2. The relative incidence of the disease in crowded and in uncrowded

districts.

3. The lack of relationship between the number of carriers and the spread

of the disease.

4. The bacteriological evidence obtained from the patients.

It has been demonstrated that the meteorological factors have an important relation- ship to the dissemination of epidemic meningitis. Cold weather especially in the absence of sunlight resulted in an increase in the number of cases. On the other hand, the meningococcus is...... a fragile micro-organism and does not long withstand ordinary air temperatures and the drying of the secretions containing them; once separated from nasopharynx, it soon succumbs in external nature". But when the cold weather appears the population, already overcrowded abandon the habit of sleeping out in the open streets and literally swarm in the cubicles. These cubicles are box-like compartments, com- pletely shut in the cold nights, unventilated and overcrowded.

Should one inmate harbour the meningococcus it will soon be distributed over all the others of the dwelling. The mechanism of dissemination is more or less direct; it.. "consists in the ejection of the nasopharyngeal secretions into the surrounding atmosphere. This ejection does not take place during ordinary breathing and little, as a rule during quiet speaking. But in loud speaking and particularly in coughing, sneezing, hawking and spitting, the secretions may be sprayed and scattered widely" (ibid).

Thus while the meningococcus is a very fragile organism and succumbs easily in external nature, in overcrowded and ill-ventilated conditions it passes from one to another readily. The cold temperatures, while detrimental to the meningococcus out- side the body, by bringing about a condition of overcrowding and close contact, favors the general distribution of this micro-organism.

* Flexner, Simons Mode of Infection, Means of Prevention and Specific Treatment of Epidemic Meningitis, New York, 1917.

The relative incidence of the disease in crowded and uncrowded districts adds further evidence. As shown above, the disease took its greatest toll from the crowded districts. Among the Europeans the incidence was a 1:1250 among the Chinese it was as 1:509 * Yet epidemic meningitis is not peculiarly a disease of the Chinese. In Swatow, simi-. larly, about sixty cases developed--all among Chinese, who live under the same (or possibly worse) conditions as in Hongkong. On the Trans-Pacific, or the coast-line steamships numerous cases have occurred in the crowded steerage and but rarely has a case occurred among the cabin passengers. Among the Chinese themselves, in the less crowded areas of Kowloon, fewer cases pro rata have developed.

On the other hand, at Canton there were no authenticated cases of epidemic menin- gitis amongst the Chinese, according to the medical authorities at the Canton Hospital. The crowding at Canton is of a different nature from that in the Colony. In the former city, there are too many dwelling houses on too small a space but there are no cubicles within the houses. Each house has two storeys; the upper one usually has an open skylight. Each floor is subdivided into two large rooms with beds along the walls, so that the usual number of occupants, five to seven have sufficient air space; the front and rear walls open completely on to balconies or to the street. In other words the Can- tonese live in better ventilated quarters and are less crowded within their dwellings than the natives of Hongkong.

This evidence based on the relative incidence in crowded and uncrowded living conditions shows the direct influence of crowding upon the dissemination of epidemic meningitis.

The relation of the carrier to the spread of the epidemic offers an interesting study. Of course a carrier is a sine qua non of an infection. He is the source of infection. But the passive carrier per se, that is, the healthy carrier not subject to the influences shown to be contributing to the dissemination of the disease has been found to have had little influence upon the great spread of the epidemic.

Drs. Macfarlane and Earle have shown that the percentage of carriers among Eur- opean contacts was 9.8 per cent. while that among Chinese contacts was 67 per cent. Yet the Chinese by far outnumbered the European cases.

I have found that 2461 per cent. of 130 inmates of the gaol harbour various types of meningococci, yet not a single case has developed in the gaol. More important is the fact that the living conditions in the gaol, as far as overcrowding is concerned, is more hygienic than in the Chinese community.

The bacteriological evidence obtained from patients suffering from epidemic men- ingitis offers additional proof of the spread of the epidemic by close contact. That almost all (95 per cent.) of the patients examined should be infected with one type, when other types are present in the community command attention. While the evidence is not con- clusive, yet it is very suggestive of the great communicability of the disease directly from one person to another-a condition which is usually brought about by close contact of individuals.

(c.) Other factors contributing to the continuance of the epidemic. The epidemic having gained headway, it is possible that its continuance depends on the constant immigration into the Colony, adding new susceptible individuals to the epidemic areas who come in contact in this way with the sources of infection. To this may be added the unhygienic habits of the natives: the use of common drinking cups and towels; the use of the same and uncleansed food utensils by the numerous patrons of the street and house restaurants; the placing of food directly on streets which are covered with mouth and nose discharges, and indeed, the many ways prevailing in the Chinese community of distributing the nasopharyngeal secretions from one to another.

* According to returns to the Medical Officer of Health. The actual number of cases have been very much greater, as

stated above.

6.-Means of Prevention.

The means of prevention of epidemics of this disease may be classed into two groups: general measures and measures referring to the patient and his environment. The first have for their object the prevention of the spread of the meningococcus from one nasopharynx to another and the decrease of the individual susceptibility to the disease; the second, the limiting of the infectious influence of the patient and contact carriers.

A.--General Measures.

(a.) Education of the Chinese. In the Colony epidemic meningitis proved to be a great devastating disease of the Chinese, the danger to the Europeans only arising from the great numbers of sources of infection which arose and the chance contact with them inside or outside the home. Yet the objections to any preventive measures will arise among the Chinese. Furthermore, unless their resistance is overcome, very little may be hoped for in either preventing the disease or in ameliorating the appalling death-rate.

However, it is apparent that much may be done by educating the Chinese people, including officials, by the demonstration that these methods are meant for their own welfare. The methods which suggest themselves are public lectures, preferably by native officials or physicians, the cinema, advertisements in native newspapers, issuing bulletins, pamphlets in plain and non-technical language and the systematic instruction of school children-in other words, doing whatever will conduce to a helpful co-opera- tion of the natives with the sanitary authorities.

In this connection stress should be laid on the superiority of the Western methods of treatment and diagnosis over the Chinese. The quoting of the statistics of the Tung Wah Hospital should prove convincing information.

The lack of knowledge of modern sanitation should be dealt with in this system of education, especially as it applies to the general habit of expectoration; the use of com- mon eating and drinking utensils, towels and toothbrushes; the exposure of food to infection by placing it directly on soiled streets. As this disease is transmitted by contact with the discharges from the nose and mouth the principles of personal hygiene which are directed against infection by these means, should be emphasized. These include above all the avoidance of "droplet" infection: the coughing or sneezing directly in one's face; hawking or talking loudly at a person.

(b.) The management of the epidemic. The placing of the control of the epidemic of epidemic meningitis in a board has not resulted in any active preventive work. There is much to criticise upon the ineffectiveness of this method. To quote Rosenau: "In the conduct of an epidemic it is very important that all authority should center in one person. To conduct an epidemic with a board of health or a health committee or a com- mission of any kind invites failure. It would be just as foolish to have a board of gene- rals to fight a battle. Those who have been through many epidemics realize that it is no figure of speech to compare an epidemic campaign to a battle. It is a fight carried on at high tension and, although the foe is invisible, it is a battle in every sense of the word."

The Government is therefore advised to place authority not on a board or committee but upon one individual, who may receive advice from a board, in event this necessity arises.

(c) Overcrowding. An attempt has been made to demonstrate the importance of overcrowding of the population upon the wide spread dissemination of the disease. Indeed, it may be stated, that as long as the overcrowding continues, under additional adverse conditions of life, as, a cold winter season, the occurrence of infections of nose and throat mucous membranes, thus increasing the spraying capacity of individuals, and a migrating population, outbreaks may occur in the Colony from time to time.

It is beyond the scope of this investigation to state how this great social and econo- mic problem of delocating, as it were, the enormous numbers of Chinese from the small area of their community may be accomplished. Reclamation of land and colonizing the adjacent New Territories by improving transit facilities suggest themselves. But this question is left for solution by the Government.

Not only should the prevention of overcrowding be directed against the living quarters, but the Government should also consider the overcrowding of tram-cars, schools, theatres or places of public assembly and workshops.

(d) The prevention of pharyngeal infections and influenza is necessary especially since these diseases have been generally found to predispose to attacks and dissemination of epidemic meningitis. The means of prevention of nose and throat infections are, in the main, practically those indicated above for the prevention of contamination with the nose and throat discharges.

(e) Employment of masks.-During the height of an epidemic extraordinary pre- cautions should be taken by the physicians, nurses and sanitary staff (especially the sanitary inspectors) when coming in contact with numbers of natives or patients. In- deed, for those of the inhabitants of the Colony who are forced to come in close contact with a number of natives or Europeans, the mask offers a good means of prevention of droplet infection. The best mask is the one used in North China for prevention of pneumonic plague: a pad of cotton contained within two layers of gauze and tied by three tails, one over head, two in back of the head, over and under the ears.

(f) Preventive inoculations (prophylactic vaccination). At the present time a gre at deal of work is being done with the view of decreasing the susceptibility of an individual to epidemic meningitis. It is logical to assume that when the individual resistance against infection is heightened that the disease cannot gain headway.

Immunization by repeated injection of saline suspensions of dead organisms has been attempted elsewhere on large scales. The results up to the present indicate that hopes may be entertained as 'to the efficacy of this method. Indeed, the initial success warrants the advice to the Government to encourage generally these preventive inocula- tions. As this work is still experimental, the vaccination need not be made compulsory. Time, however, will tell whether the method will offer a practical preventive against epidemic meningitis, as typhoid vaccination against typhoid fever.

The Bacteriological Institute has been provided with all the means of preparing the vaccine and is ready, at a short notice, to supply vaccine for the needs of the Colony.

It is advised that complete records of the vaccination be kept by the Medical Officer of Health, who will supervise the injections and follow the vaccinated individuals with the view of adding any information of value for future reference. The most advanta- geous time to start the vaccination is at the end of August or beginning of September.

This methed of preventive inoculation has proven experimentally to be practically harmless. It consists in the subcutaneous injection of saline suspensions of meningococci killed by heat. The dosage is 2 billion bacteria for the first, 4 billion for the second and third injections (or as it is prepared, one half cubic centimeter for the first and one cubic centimeter for the second and third injections). The injections are given at weekly intervals. There may result in slight local or general reactions (headache, malaise, etc.) for one to two days after the injections; otherwise there are no serious consequences.

Finally, preventive inoculations by means of a vaccine while still in an experimental stage have been proven to give rise to antibodies in the blood against the meningococcus. This, together with the fact that results thus far show a degree of protection and that the inoculations are practically harmless, should make as many persons as possible submit to the procedure.

B.-Preventive Measures with Reference to the Patient and His Environment.

(a) Isolation of the patient.-Isolation of the patient so as to remove his area of influence, with regard to his infectivity, is the prime consideration. Before this can be done, it is obvious that the patient must be recognised first. It becomes necessary then for the local physicians to be trained in the recognition of the clinical symptoms especially of the milder cases. At all times the clinical symptoms should be confirmed by microscopic and bacteriological examination of the cerebro-spinal fluid, and where indicated, by the bacteriological examination of the nasopharyngeal secretions.

- 79

Important to note is the fact that the very mild case, the patient who is "missed" in diagnosis, may be quite as infective as the fulminating type of case. The number of missed cases in the Chinese community apparently is very large. It therefore behoves the Sanitary Department to strengthen that department, the activities of which include ho ise-to-house inspection. During an epidemic intelligent and trained inspectors should investigate every household and attempt to locate for subsequent investigation patients suffering from fever, headache, hyperesthesia, stiffness of the neck muscles, Kernig's sign, apathy and weakness. A non-fading rash, as well, is an important phenomenon, and herpes especially about the lips are suggestive symptoms.

The difficulties in isolating the patient and the mild or missed case in Hongkong are obvious. However, the establishment of a corps of sanitary police by the Govern- ment suggests itself. It is hoped however, that by a thorough system of education, the natives may be made receptive to these activities and co-operate with the Government for the benefit of their own welfare.

The patient is kept isolated not only during the course of the fever but also at least one week after the fever has subsided. The object is to avoid the discharge of a "dangerous" carrier. Cultures are taken from the nasopharynx and when there are no meningococci demonstrable for three examinations at five-day intervals it is reasonably safe to discharge the patient.

(b.) Establishment of hospitals. If the Kennedy Town and the Tung Wah Hospitals prove insufficient for the number of cases, it is advised that additional hospital facilities be provided. The isolation in a hospital is preferable; isolation at home (as it is con- stituted now) is to be avoided. The additional hospital space can be obtained by constructing matsheds, or other temporary structures, which need not be expensive but should be comfortable and roomy. Camps or barracks serve the purpose when the necessity arises.

(e) Nurses and physicians attending to meningitis cases should protect themselves especially from droplet infection, by wearing masks while on duty. Those articles, whether eating or drinking utensils, toothbrushes, or bedding, which become contaminated with the nasopharyngeal secretions of the patient are thoroughly disinfected. The terminal disinfection comprises the thorough cleansing of all articles coming in contact with the patient.

(d.) Search for carriers among contacts. The families of patients as well as those who have been is contact with the patient are examined bacteriologically for the pre- sence of meningococci in the nasopharynx. In this way, carriers and especially the "dangerous" carrier, that is, the one who harbours numerous meningococci and parti- cularly of the same type as the patient, can be recognised and their influence controlled. The former are treated (as will be indicated below) until the nasopharynx is free from the meningococci; the latter are, as well, isolated.

At this point, it is important to emphasize the futility of the bacteriological exami- nation of great numbers or all of the population (a method which has been suggested). In the first place even in the hands of skilled workers, many may escape detection; the technique of bacteriological examination is very difficult. Secondly, if the same number of the population is infected, as I have detected at the gaol, what disposition could be made. of the hundred thousand or more individuals which would be classed as carriers? Thirdly, cases only very rarely develop amongst isolated carriers (as in the case of the gaol). Fourthly an attempt has been made to show that other factors, as the dense overcrowding of the population, are more important in the wide-spread dissemination of the disease than the presence of numerous healthy carriers.

Hence in the present state of our knowledge the detection of the contact carriers, especially the dangerous carrier, and the elimination of their influence, should suffice.

Ċ.—The Means of Prevention of the Dissemination of Epidemic Meningitis to Distant Parts.

As Hongkong depends for its existence in a great measure upon the steamship traffic, import and export business, and as there is usually heavy migration of the popula- tion, the problem of limiting the spread of the disease to distant areas becomes important.

The number of cases which have recently occurred among the coast and trans-Pacific steamships have with a very few exceptions been localized to the steerage passengers. Owing to heavy traffic and limited steamship space, there has been a tendency to over- crowd the passengers.

Besides the measures stated above the following is emphasized.

The first consideration is the prevention of both overcrowding and the lack of proper ventilation. This applies to railways as well.

During the prevalence of an epidemic, it is advisable to prohibit the departure. by rail or ship of any actual contact with a case especially those contacts shown by bacteriological examination to be dangerous carriers.

It is not necessary to restrict any trading with merchandise as goods or inanimate. objects, have not as yet proven to be sources of infection.

D.--The Treatment of Carriers.

In general, it may be stated that in an individual who is lightly infected (designated above by "plus-minus" or "one plus" on plate cultures) the meningococcus has tendency to disappear. In others, however, the micro-organism tends to be persistent and requires energetic treatment before it disappears from the nasopharynx. Indeed in some cases, in spite of active treatment, the healthy carriers or convalescents are not freed of the meningococcus for a period of months.

At the present time the most efficacious treatment, as demonstrated by investigations. carried on under the direction of Dr. Flexner, is that which takes into consideration the condition of the mucous membrane of the nasopharynx, as well as the chemical disin- fection. In a heavily-infected carrier it becomes a very tedious process to destroy the meningococcus unless any pathological condition of the mucous membrane is remedied. Sinusitis, pharyngitis, tonsilitis and diseased adenoids must be treated and the mem- branes restored to normal; otherwise the meningococcus will have a tendency to persist (and sometimes in pure cultures) in spite of any disinfection.

The most effective chemical disinfection is the steam chamber devised by Gordon and Flack (British Medical Journal, November 18, 1916, page 673). The construction of the chamber is given in detail in their article. Chloramine-T, in a 2 per cent. aqueous solution is the chemical used for vaporization. One litre of the solution is sprayed by means of steam into a room of 750 cubic feet capacity in the course of 15 to 20 minutes. The carrier remains in this chamber for this length of time during which he inhales deeply through the nostrils. One treatment is given each day. If the carrier is lightly infected, he will be freed from the meningococcus in a few days; if heavily infected, it may take from one to several weeks. In any event, the restoration of the nasopharyngeal mucous membrane to its normal condition will hasten to a great extent the clearing up process.

These steam-chambers can be set up at the various hospitals in the Colony.

Should the steam-chamber prove inconvenient, hand sprays (or atomisers) may be substituted. The most efficacious of these means, is the use of dichloramine- T, a 2 per cent. solution in chlorcosane, a bland, unirritating oil. The method of procedure is as follows:-The nose is cleared with salt solution first, either by spraying or irrigating. Instead of salt solution chloramine-T in one-quarter per cent. aqueous

solution may

be used both as a cleansing agent and as a gargle. Having thus cleared the nose, the

gargle. dichloramine-T, in chlorcosane, is sprayed thoroughly into each nostril, by means of an oil-atomizer. Four treatments are given a day at about three-hour intervals. Indiscriminate spraying should be avoided on the grounds that the mucous membrane may be damaged and a previously lightly-infected carrier may become heavily-infected.

The discharge of a carrier who has been subject to treatment, as free from the meningococcus, follows after three cultures taken at five-day intervals are found to be negative.

In conclusion, the prevention of an epidemic does not rest on the swabbing of the entire population, nor the universal "atomizing" of all the inhabitants-both measures of great impracticability in the Colony and of questionable value, as demonstrated above. On the other hand, these means which aim at the removal of the causes of the great spread of the disease as, for example, overcrowding or those means which are directed against the decrease of susceptibility or the increase of the individual's resistance to infection, are to be recommended.

7.—Summary.

(a) A survey showed that the supply of antimeningococcic serum on hand consisted mainly of serum of questionable therapeutic efficacy: that the Colony is too far removed from a source of supply of reliable serum; that the necessity of serum is great, for, not only is the mortality very high but there are possibilities of recurring outbreaks; that one type of meningococcus (para type) appears to prevail. On these grounds, it was advised that the Government, under its own supervision, undertake the preparation of antimeningococcic serum, especially active against the prevailing type.

To this end the laboratory has been re-fitted; horses are being immunized and it is hoped that in the future a constant supply of potent serum will be always available.

While the preparation is proceeding, an adequate amount of serum (1,125 doses) was supplied by the Rockefeller Institute. This serum shows a high antibody content against the prevailing type and may be regarded as therapeutically potent *.

(b) In respect to the method of treatment, it is advised that all cases be given the benefit of serum treatment. But to attain the best results, these factors are emphasized : the serum must be potent: it must be injected early and in sufficient quantity and, as shown above, intravenous as well as intraspinous injections may be given to advantage.

With an abundant supply of active serum on hand and with the full co-operation of the population, it is hoped the devastating effect of the disease will be in a great measure ameliorated.

(c) The facts which lead to the conclusion that overcrowding rather than the actual numbers of carriers determines the spread of the disease are: (1) The meteorological conditions. The colder the weather, the greater becomes the overcrowding, and as a consequence greater is the number of cases developed. (2) The relative incidence of the disease in crowded and uncrowded districts shows a pro rata decrease in the latter sections and a similar increase in the former. (3) The prevalence of a single type in many of the patients (although all the types of meningococci have been found in carriers) points to the possibility of the infection travelling from one to another by direct contact. crowded conditions of existence this contact is, of course, closer. (4) The gaol in which almost ideal conditions exist with regard to an absence of overcrowding, although harbouring 24.61 per cent of carriers among 130 inmates, yielded no cases during the epidemic. (5) Furthermore, the extent of carriers among contacts was less than among the prisoners. Also (6) the number of European contacts was greater than Chinese although the disease was almost entirely limited to the Chinese.

Attention has also been called to the disregard of the principles of personal hygiene among the natives in respect to the nasal and mouth discharges, factors which serve to continue the development of cases.

Reference was also made to the conditions preceding the onset of the epidemic namely, an unusually cold winter and a prevalence of influenza and pharyngitis.

(d) The prevention of epidemic meningitis has been shown to depend upon the active co-operation of the native with the health and sanitary officers:

* Since the arrival of the Flexuer serum, it was possible to treat with it only two cases; one injected with another

serum for a long time but slowing no improvement; the other, a case with a Hopeless prognosis before treas ment. Both recovered.

In general, it may be stated that very little if any progress can be made unless a thorough education of the Chinese is undertaken, particularly concerning the Western ideals of the treatment and prevention of epidemic meningitis. The conditions of life among the Chinese in the Colony tend to spread this disease almost exclusively among them. There are hopes that even the usual methods of instruction and enlightenment, as the cinema, pamphlets, advertisements, lectures in Chinese, exhibitions; and the awakening of interest among the native officials and physicians, may lead to active co-operation and the demolition of the barriers of the native's passive resistance.

In brief, the most important factor in the supervision of epidemic meningitis in the Colony is the prevention of overcrowding. Hence the greatest consideration should be given to this problem.

The other general preventive measures include the education of the native in the matter of personal hygiene. Those principles dealing with the care of the nasal and pharyngeal mucosa and with the prevention of the spread of nose and mouth discharges from one to another are especially to be impressed.

Attention has also been called to the futility of conducting an epidemic campaign by means of a board or committee and it is recommended that the authority for managing preventive measures rest upon one individual.

Physicians, nurses and those forced to come in contact with great numbers of persons during the course of an epidemic are advised to employ a mask similar to that in use for the prevention of pneumonic plague.

An important general measure which has been recently developed is preventive inoculation. While this is still in the experimental stage, the outlook from preliminary work appears hopeful-indeed, so much so that the Government is advised to encourage its use generally. The laboratory is prepared at present to supply vaccine adequate to the needs of the Colony.

With respect to the patient and his environment, it has been shown that immediate isolation of the patient is necessary. The definite clinical knowledge of the disease and the more extensive use of lumbar puncture suggest themselves as aids in the detection of mild or "missed" cases. For their isolation is just as important.

It is also recommended that the discharge of the patient from isolation should wait upon the freeing of the nasopharynx of the meningococcus.

The search for carriers among the contacts with the patient, is a necessary pro- cedure. The treatment of the contact carriers and the isolation and treatment of the dangerous carrier (one harbouring numerous meningococci, especially of the same type as found in the patient) are indicated. The treatment of persistent carriers has been shown to depend on a great measure on the restoration of the nasopharyngeal mucous membranes to its normal condition. In connection with the detection of carriers, the futility of swabbing great numbers or all of the population has been demonstrated.

In conclusion preventive measures are directed towards the prevention of the spread of the meningococcus from one nasopharynx to another, on the one hand, and increasing the resistance against infection, or decreasing the susceptibility, on the other. The first is accomplished by instituting those measures which seek the prevention of overcrowd- ing, the isolation of the patient, the control of the contact and dangerous carrier and the prevention of droplet infection; the second, by what is hoped will prove efficacious, preventive inoculation by means of antimeningococcic vaccine.

Conclusions.

1. The local production of potent antimeningococcic serum and the systematic specific treatment of patients will serve to allay the distress of an appalling mortality during an epidemic.

2. In four of ten moribund patients the meningococcus was found in the blood. This emphasizes the need of intravenous combined with the intraspinous methods of

treatment.

3. A more extensive use of the diagnostic methods especially in relation to the cere- bro-spinal fluid will aid in the detection of mild or missed cases.

4. The Victoria Gaol, where the prisoners are kept isolated from each other, has shown an incidence of 2461 per cent.* of carriers but no cases of epidemic meningitis.

5. This and the other facts stated above, have led to the conclusion that the dense overcrowding of the population, rather than the actual number of healthy carriers of various types of meningococci, is the cause of the great spread of the epidemic.

6. With regard to prevention, the important measures have been shown to be:---

(a.) The education of the Chinese in order to effect an active co-operation with

the health and sanitary authorities.

(b.) The prevention of overcrowding.

(c.) The prevention of droplet infection, the infections of the nose and throat, by the instruction of the principles of personal hygiene and, under the conditions indicated above, the employment of masks.

(d.) The detection and treatment of contact carriers, including the isolation of those carriers who harbour numerous meningococci (especially of the same type which is present in the patient).

(e.) The isolation of the patients, including the mild and ambulatory types. (f.) The discharge of patients and carriers after three examinations at five-day

intervals show the absence of meningococci.

(g.) Although still in an experimental stage, the use of preventive inoculations

of anti-meningococci vaccine.

GENERAL MILITARY SERVICE.

Laid before the Legislative Council by Command of His Excellency the Governor, 30th May, 1918.

Telegram from the Governor of Hongkong to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, dated 20th April, 1918.

Your telegram of 10th July, 1917, the Committee of the Hongkong General Cham- ber of Commerce have expressed unanimously the opinion in which I concur that com- pulsory Military Service beyond the Colony should now be imposed, essential economic trades being protected and a tribunal representative of all classes of the Commercial Community and with substantial commercial majority being appointed to adjudicate. I shall be glad to learn whether His Majesty's Government are now prepared to include Hongkong and to receive instructions as to the legal means by which compulsion is to be applied. I would recommend age limit not exceeding 45 years, discretion in Governor to define the racial application of the law and a small tribunal on lines of the Military Service Commission with an appeal from its decisions by individuals concerned, employ- ers, or the Military Authorities to the Governor in Council. The Civil Service in my opinion should be included in the compulsion but the decisions in its case should rest solely with the Governor. The Executive Council unanimously concur in my recommen- dation.

MAY.

age

Telegram from the Secretary of State for the Colonies to the Governor of Hongkong, dated 20th May, 1918.

My telegram 8th May proposals in your telegram 20th April generally approved limit should not exceed forty years. For the present at any rate only men belong- ing to pure European descent should be attested. War Office consider that in view of probable small number, men should go to India for training where they will be attached to Sixth Training Battalion, Kirkee, with a view to being ultimately drafted to 1/6th Battalion Hampshire Regiment where they will serve together in the same company as far as possible. Men should be fit for general military service. As to legal means, follow- ing is extract from Jamaica Law, line of which may be followed. Every man whose name appears on any such list so signed by the Governor shall after such publication of such list as the Governor shall direct and within such time as the Governor shall ap- point, by notice to be published in the Jamaica Gazette, report himself for military service at such place and to such person as the Governor shall, in such notice or some other notice, appoint, and from and after such report and until his discharge such man shall be subject to Army Act as if he were part of His Majesty's Regular Forces :--

(a) while in Jamaica before and after serving as hereinafter mentioned: (b) while on the way from Jamaica for purpose of serving with the Imperial

Forces outside Jamaica:

(d) while on the way back to Jamaica after so serving.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer reminds the Board that the further gifts recited C... below have been made to His Majesty's Government by British Colonies and Dependencies, to be applied in the prosecution of the present war.

Hongkong. The Legislative Council of Hongkong, by Ordinance No. 12 of 1916, passed on the 20th October, 1916, made provision for raising and has raised locally a loan of $3,000,000, the entire proceeds of which have, in virtue of the same Ordinance, been placed at the disposal of His Majesty's Government for the prosecution of the pre- sent war. The Legislative Council further decided in January, 1917, to contribute $2,000,000 from the Colony's revenues for Imperial War purposes.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer states that, in order best to meet the desires of the donors, the sums already received, except so far as otherwise specified, have been paid into the Exchequer for application towards the general expenses of the war.

My Lords approve.

Their Lordships thanks have been conveyed through the Secretary of State for the Colonies to the Legislatures of the Colonies and Dependencies concerned but Their Lordships avail themselves of this opportunity to place once more upon record their appreciation of these spontaneous and generous contributions towards the expenses of the war.

Let the necessary directions be given accordingly.

Let copies of this Minute be forwarded to

the Secretary of State for the Colonies for transmission to the Legislatures of the Colonies and Dependencies concerned.

The Chancellor recommends that all sums received in respect of this further con- tribution from the Colony shall be paid into the Exchequer for application towards expenditure on the war.

My Lords concur and desire that the necessary directions be given from time to time as the money becomes available.
