Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Jehangir Hormujee Ruttonjee (1880-1960) was a Parsee in Hong Kong. He is famous for founding the Ruttonjee Sanatorium. He also set up the "Hong Kong Anti-Tuberculosis Association." In his early days, he studied at St. Joseph's College, Hong Kong on Hong Kong Island. He founded the brewery of Hong Kong in 1913 and later sold it to San Miguel. The brewery was later opened, in 1948, in Sham Tseng, just along the Castle Peak Road from Homi Villa, which he owned, and is now the Airport Core Programme Exhibition Centre. Ruttonjee donated a great deal of money to build Ruttonjee Sanatorium, now Ruttonjee Hospital, to fight against tuberculosis.
