Vaccination in China.
The Chinese, who reject scornfully
nearly every application of western
medical science, are, according to the
governor of Hong Kong, firm believers
in the advantage gained from vaccina
tion and submit to the ordeal with a
cheerfulness and philosophy which are
characteristic of this wily oriental. Pro
tection by vaccination is especially re
quired in Hong Kong, owing, as Sir
William, Dos Voeux points out, to the
frequency with which smallpox is intro
duced by steamemcoming from all parts
of the world and to fcB fatal prevalence
when it has once obtained a footing.—
