Sufferers are not generally aware that

what the Chinese Cannot Understand

it is learned that the first major surgical

many ways n remarkable one. One
evening a beggar with a dreadful leg,
and in all but dying condition, was
laid by some OF his friends at the door
of DR.. Howe's house. and left there.

astonished the Chinese. They cannot
