of chandii per dny, then two reputed quart bottles (a) and (b) of the in- 

 fusion are taken, and into one (a) is put two chi of burnt chandu, roasted 

 on an iron skewer-like instrument in the same way as it would be if being 

 prepared for smoking. 7'hen a Chinese teacup is half-filled from bottfe 

 (a) and taken by the patient, and half a teacup from bottle (b), the one 

 that does not contain any opium, is put into (a). This is repeated each 

 time a dose is taken, so that the liquid in (a), while containing its bulk, 

 continually decreases in its opium contents until the bottle (b) is ex- 

 hausted. The dose is to be taken as many times a day as the patient has 

 been in the habit of smoking, usually three or four times, until the two bot- 

 tles are finished, when the man should, it is stated, be cured of all wish to 

 smoke. If this is not the case, then the treatment is to be repeated, but 

 Avith a smaller initial proportion of burnt opium in bottle (a), the amount 

 being again decreased if a third course is necessary. It is stated that some- 

 times two courses are sufficient, but generally three are required. 



At the Weld-road establishment of the Selangor Anti-Opium Society in 

 Kuala Lumpur, from November i6 to 23 last, about 396 patients had re- 

 ported that they were completely cured of the habit. Before that date no 

 records were kept. Many patients naturally do not trouble to return and 

 make a report. The Rev. W. E. Horley wmte on December 6 that about 

 8,000 people had applied at the Methodist Episcopal IMission hall in SultTU 

 street, Kuala Lumpur, and over 7,000 in Ipoh, Perak, within the last few 

 v^7eeks. It is instructive to note that the monthly official opium returns 

 showed during November a decrease of 38 chests of opium and in Decem- 

 ber 32 chests, the lesser number in December being probably due to the 

 return of a certam number of patients to their opium pipes. The success 

 obtained has led to the opening of branches of the Selangor Anti-Opium 

 Society at Kepong, Rawang, Serendah, Sungei, Besi and Kajang. — Mail,
