KAUAI OBJECTS.
The Kilauea Hou returned this
afternoon with the Chinese for Ka-
uai plantations still aboard. The
people of the island refused most
positively, threatening armed resist
ance, to allow the coolies from this
port to land. J. ID. McVeigh,
agent for the Board of Health re.
turned for orders. 1t is understood
that the Chinese will be sem
back and landed. The authorities
here are absolutely certain there is
not the slightest danger from them.

President Smith, Secretary Will
cox, Members Emerson, Water
house, Keliipio and Drs. Herbert,
Meyers, Ryder, Wood, Russell,
Smith and Day and Sir Robt.
Heron were present.
President Smith said that the OBJ
ject of the meeting was on account
of the doctors finding that friend.
OF the parties taken sick do not re-
port soon enough.
DIR. Herbert said that great i'm.
portance lay in the immediate
notification Of the outbreaks as soor
as the symptoms of the disease
were visible.
DIR. Russell felt that not too much
reliance should be placed on pre-.
ventatives. To give indiscfimi
nately of medicine to everybod,
would do just as much harm as
good. He would recommend tina
people keep one or two teaspoon
fuls of castor oil in the house.
DIR. Herbert disagreed with the
last speaker with regard to the Civ
ing of doses of castor oil to patients
The matter of supplying poo
people with medicine has been un
der the discussion of the Board o
Health for the past week, and i
has been decided to have all patient.
treated at the cholera hospital
These patients can have their owr
private doctors.
Mr.. Colburn said that German
doctor in Hamburg recommended ;
mixture called nulite of sulphur tc
be placed in the soles of the fee
between the stockings and shoes.
DR.. Russell said that there ar,
two kinds of doctors in the world
one the quack fraternity, and tn
other the regular professional. The
using of nulite of sulphur was pre-
posterous. The doctor had burnet
a pound of sulphur in relativel,
small room full of mosquitoes. II
FIVE hours he opened the room ant
not a single mosquito was dead.
Mr.. Smith urged the necessity O
cooking all food, keeping the hand
and house clean and if the Ha
waiians would only adhere to thes
rules they would never be sick.
DIR. Wood desired to say to tn
Hawaiians that if they promises
not to drink or wash anything
with water without it being boiled
and eat cooked food, there would b
no more cholera in day or two.
