The New York Chinese doctoHare be-
ginning TO lose their hold upon their
heretofore devoted CLIENTS, This has
been accomplished by simple but solid
American medical genius. 1t has been
the custom ever since the Chinese col
ouy began to "put on airs" in New York
for sick Cinnamon from all parts OF the
the country this side Of the Rocky
Mountains to come TO Gotham To consult
with their big medicine men, OF whom
there are over dozen who have their
fantastic shingles hung up In Mott street
upon the doors OF their domiciles. Be
sides this, they give bigger prescription
and heavier dose than their American
competitors, These Chinese physicians
will devote from two 70 six hours 70
feeling your pulse, and al for the NUM-
6cielt sum Of from a quarter to tittyr
cent piece.
Imagine man who, having taken a
biz dose OF opium with the ayoWed plr-
pose OF having his carcass housed In
Evergreen Cemetery as early as possible,
so that his bones may be ready for speedy
shipment To China, having doctor with
big round eyeglasses sit down TO feel the
poor fellows pulse for two hours and q
half and then give him the following
prescription to be boiled into q soup aud
then drunk!
Picked lizards, two pairs, male and
4 females; Corea ginseng root, ! ounce !
willow cricket skins, half a dozen, 8
males and 8 femalesj sweet potato vines,
l ounce; white nuts, ! ounce; lotos
leaves, an ounce rattlesnake tail, 4 oil
an ounce; black dates, 3 ounOesi elm
bark, 1 an ounce; devilash toes, | an
ounce; reindeer's horn, | an ounce
birds claws, Of an ounCei dried ginger,
OF an ounce; coffin nails fold ones),
IN ounce. Boil the whole with 2 quarts
OF water until only half OF the water Ia
left, and then drink 1t as preliminary
dose.
Such was the prescription given on last
Friday afternoon TO poor laundrymRn
on the corner OF Broome and Delaney
streets by Chinese doctor, who said
his office was at IS Mott street, But,
fortunately for the patient, before the
famous prescription was put up by a
Chinese druggist on Mott street his
friend All Sing rushed 10 an AmeTIC can
doctor near Chinatown, The latter went
to the dying man and restored him to
consciousness before the deadly messen-
ger got back,
Here is another prescription, given to
Wong All Sing, OF s Mott street, some
time ago, for a cancer, which tho doctor
and bis colleagues had been trying to
cure for the past four years. But they
didn't cure II. At last tho poor fellow
was nearly dead, and the doctors at the
New York Hospital got hold Of the patti
ept and cured him in less than three
weeks.

The dozen or so sick Cinnamon who
have recently been druggcd nearly TO
death by such wonderful compounds
many have been subsequently cured by
American physicians when they had
been given up as hopeless by their own
physician. These examples OF their
own doctors inefficienCy Is the prinCi'
pal cause OF their recent downfall.
