Note (General):
Picture caption: Throughout the British Colonial Empire much is being done to improve and maintain the health of the people ... They are not all Fijians; some come from other and far-distant Pacific islands. They will go home to heal the sick, to prevent the spread of diseases, and to raise the standard of health among their peoples.
