THE CHINESE PHARMACEUTICAL,
Contains Medicines from All Three
Of the Natural Kingdoms.

Much has been written by travel.
ers about Chinese medicines, usually
in a spirit of ridicule, as il, though
nothing else in their books should
be provocative of mirth, this subject
might be confdentially relied on to
raise laugh. A common belief is
that Chinese medicines consist al
most entirely of mineral substances,
the vegetable kingdom being little
drawn upon. But the opposite is
the case. In X. Braun's work, "A
List OF the Chinese Medicines Ex-
ported from Hankow and the Other
Yangtze Ports" which contains the
names Of most OF the medicines in
use in central parts of China, there
are Az medicines, classed as under:
Insects, 8; roots, 113; banks and
husks, %; twigs and leaves, Is; flow
ers, Il; seeds and fruits, SO; grasses,
Is; sundries, III. The sundries may
be subdivided into "a herbal pro-
ducts, 81 animal products, and 81
mineral products.
Now, taking the roots, barks, ETC.,
and adding them to the thirty-four
herbal products, we have $40 medi-
cines obtained from the vegetable
kingdom; then to the nine insects
add the thirty-two animal products,
and we have forty-one medicines
obtained from the animal kingdom,
and, as already mentioned, there are
but fifty-one mineral products.
Nearly all the medicines l have
classed as mineral products are
simply preparations OF iron, mer-
curry, lead, zinc, ETC., counterparts OF
medicines to be found in any Euro
pean labratory. The curiosities of
the Chinese pharmacopoeia are to
be found in the animal department,
but even then it must be remember
ed that they are only the curiosities.
