This paper incorporates the earlier paper, 'The Formation and Development of the Saiseikai', and contains a study of the characteristics of the Saiseikai medical relief scheme in its initial stages (1911-1918). Sources consist mainly of official documents and medical journals passed over in earlier research. Accordingly, the following points have been brought to light. The Saiseikai medical relief scheme was (1) implemented as one part of Imperial ideology policy. The benevolence of the Emperor was continually emphasised to the beneficiaries of the scheme, and its primary objective was the 'enlightment' of the lower masses. (2) It was developed in nison with police activities, seeking to control the masses. (3) Considerable attention was given to treating the problems of poor patients. To prevent belittlement of the value of the Emperor's benevolence, hospitals were prohibited from handling for 'study purposes', particularly those patients consigned under the scheme. This had the added effect of allaying the fears and uncertainties of the people.
