Shanghai, presented by. Dr. Hiltner to the American Woman's Club,. is bound to have its critics, although it is not easy to see why. He picttires Shanghai as an eminently healthy place, a spot where sturdy children can be reared, and we know, also, that here people succeed in living to a ripe old age. Yet, get hold of the average resident during the summer, and he generally has something to say about Shanghai being the most dangerous place in the East in which to live. According to Lord Northcliffe, too, people at home seem to consider this, the white mon's grave. All these divergent views are probably correct, which often happens in a case of this sort. With a moderate amount of luck and moderate precautions all sorts of people seem to thrive here, yet others collapse, often for no apparent reason, precautions or no precautions. 7
