4 Japanese Doctor,

Travelling in the interior of Japan has
sundry drawbacks. The water is bad,
and there is a lack OF such food as
civilized stomach can digest. The
traveller is also assailed by myriads of
feas, hornets, and fly which bites like
mosquito. An English lady, while
travelling in that country being laid up
with pain and fever, produced by these
pests, sent for native doctor. He was
an old-fashioned practitioner, whose
medical knowledge, having been handed
down from father to son, led him to
look with suspicion upon European
methods and drugs.
Dressed in silk he entered the pa
TENTS room and prostrated himself
three times on the ground. Then sit
ting down on his heels he asked to see
her " honorable hand and her "honor-
able foot" Feeling her pulse and look.
ing at her eyes through q magnifying
glass, he informed her, with much suck.
ing in of his breath-a sign of good
breeding-that she had fever and must
rest.
Lighting his pipe he smoked and con
templated his patient. After agar
making an examination he clapped hi
hands three times. A servant entered
carrying a handsome black lacquer
chest. Inside there was q medicine
chest of gold lacquer, fitted up will
shelves, drawers, bottles, etc.
Compounding lotion he bandaget
the patients arm and hands, telling he
to pour the lotion over the bandage a
intervals. He then gave her medicin
for the fever, to be drunk in hot water
and warned her not to use "sake" for
day or two. AS this is rice beer, con
tanning seventeen per cent. of alcohol
the prohibition did not compliment th
Japanese ladies.
On being asked to name his fee tn
doctor, after many bows and muc
sucking in of his breath, suggested thf
half yen fifty cents) might not be to
much. The lady by giving him whol
yen Ia dollar called forth fervent e.
pressions of gratitude.
Subsequently, she invited him to din
, ner, and had her gravity nearly ups
/ by his noisy gulpings, gurglings an
: drawing in of the breath. By the
' performances, most distressing to
a European, but which Japanese etiquet
: prescribes, he showed his appreciate
: of the repast.
