More About Bottles

There will be a lot of sympathy for those readers of this journal who, in attempting to respond to the appeal for empty bottles made by the Chinese Medical Association, found themselves baffled by the whereabouts of Tszepang Road. No. 41 in this elusive street houses the offices of the Medical Association.

Tszepang Road is a narrow thoroughfare which begins almost on the corner of Avenue and Tatung Roads and goes in a north-westerly direction behind the municipal school, across Shenhaikwan Road, and thence on until it finishes at Sinza Road. It is very easy to overlook. It is understood, however, that intending donors of bottles need not take them personally to the Chinese Medical Association. A telephone call to the association, whose number is 30846, is all that is necessary, and a coolie will call and collect the bottles The need for empty bottles remains as urgent as ever, the shortage of containers for medicines dispensed to refugees being acute. Householders who have empty bottles—and who does not know how these accumulate?—can do their bit towards helping solve the refugee problems by sending them along or, alternatively, by telephoning to the association.
