Celestials and the Human Body,

fHEY BELIEVE THAT AMPUTATroN SHOULD BE
AVOIDED WHEREVER POSSIBLE
From Chambers' Journal.
Both savage and semi-barbarous people have
always exhibited a great repugnance to any
surgical operation, however necessary, which
involves amputation. The North China Her.
add IN commenting upon this circumstance,
points out that the Chinese have always shown
this repugnance, not on account of fear of pain,
for they are patient under all kinds of physical
suffering but because they look upon il as a
duty to keep the body intact. II they submit
70 the amputation Of q limb they invariably
ask for the severed member, and keep it in a
box, TO be buried in due time with the owner.
Sometimes they will actually eat il. thinking il
only right that that which has been taken from
the body should be returned to it.
On the same principle an extracted tooth will
be carefully preserved. or ground to powder
and swallowed in water. Another curious phase
OF the same idea is seen in the belief that sick
parent can be cured by broth made from flesh
cut from living child, and it is looked upon az
a sign of filial piety for the child TO submit,
himself to an operation for that purpose The
child is supposed 10 be OF the vital essence OF
the parent, and If portion Of this essence il
returned to the fountain head, the parent will
be greatly strengthened. The peace-loyins
pature OF the Chinese is said to be largely due
70 this respect for the human body.

whatever he may say in reference to
his matter is worthy of consideration,
as it is question of lie and death to
every one where these dangerous wires
are used. He suggests that the strength
