. i A gloom was cast over the last week of the Conference by the sudden
ilmess and death of Professor Proust, of the Erench delco'ation. The
name of Professor Proust had been for so long associated with inter
national sanitary work, and he had always taken such an active
prominent, and valuable part in the preceding, as in the present
Conferences, that his death was felt as a loss, not merely to Prance
but to the whole world of sanitary workers. All the delegations
attended his funeral, which was a public one, and the message Sf con
dolence and sympathy which we had the honour to communicate to the
Conference by your Lordship’s instructions created a very favourable
impression and was warmly appreciated by the President and other
members of the Erench delegation.
We desire, in conclusion, to pay a sincere and deserved tribute to the
Erench Government for the hospitable manner in which we, as all the
foreign delegations, were received and entertained, collectively and
individually. We were most courteously received by M Loubei
