The herald., 1896-02-09

Yes, we claim to hold diplomas from
the Imperial Medical college at Psking,
which diplomas are countersigned by
the emperor of China. These claims
we are ready to substantiate at any
time. We have never laid claim to any
other credentials, for the simple reason
that we need no other. We are not
practicing American medicine-would
not want to if we could-but we are
selling the herbal remedies which are
employed by the most skillful and sue.
cessful Chinese physicians. We have
saved some Americans the necessity of
a trip to China, and we have brought
relief to others who could not afford
that long and expensive voyage. For
the Record should know, and would
know if it were as we'll posted as it
claims to be, that many white people
go to China every year to receive medi-
cal treatment. This fact is usually
kept secret by those most interested
for fear of incurring ridicule or Of
being misunderstood. But it is none
the less fact, and it speaks volumes
in favor of Chinese medicine. The Re-
cord continues:
"Foo Yuen was run out Of Redlands
and San Bsrnardino, 80 Health Officer
Hinkle states" This is another false
hood. We left Redlands for the sole
and simple reason that we desired
wider field Of operations. We have in
that beautiful city many warm friends,
persons who have become our friends
because they received benefit from US.
They have been answering in their
support and are as ready as we are
70 resent the unfounded insinustions
of malicious malignsrs like the Record.
DR.. Foo was arrested in San Bernar-
dino some six weeks ago, but the case
was dismissed upon demurrer to the
complaint. We are still making weekly
visits to San Bernardino, and are be-
ing consulted by many persons who
are desirous Of purchasing our
remedies. The Record should have
known better than to make any as
sertion upon the authority of Hinkle
who is not health officer, but is a
sewer inspector employed by the
sanitary department of our city gov
ernment.
Along toward the end of its article
the Record takes the III mes, HERALD
and Express to task in whining way.
It says: "The Rscord must express
some surprise that the Times, HERALD
and Express should admit to their
columns any matter, whsthsr paid or
lot, which reflects as much upon them
selves as upon the Record, bsc ause it
impeaches journalism as Who'll e. 1t
is not probable that the Times, HER AID
and Express are bothering themselves
over the question whether tho Record
is surprised or not. They have been
in the field Of Los Angeles journalism
long enough to know what they are
about, aud it is hardly necessary for
them to seek advice from little ban
tam fsdgling as to what they shall
admit to their columns. The Record
will learn after awhile not to bs so
easily surprised" 1t probably would
not have been surprised if it had
printed some of the alleged "paid arti-
cles" over the loss Of which it 80 dssply
mourns.
We are willing, in this connectio n,
that the Record should have an oppor-
tunity to recoup itself for some of its
recent losses. and we therefore make
the following liberal offer. We will
pay the Record one Thousand dollars if
it will prove:
That we are anything different from
what we have claimed to be.
That our diplomas are forged or
fraudulent.
That our testimonials from patrons
are forged or manufactured.
That wa have moi made the cures
which we have advertised.
That any Of the 140 cases of persons
whom, during ths past three years, We
have declared to be incurable and from
whom we have refased to take money
have been cured by other physicians.
That your averment to the fact that
our patrons are "gullible people" and
simple souls" is not utterly fal Sc and
unfouuded. We maintain that, as q
class, they are far above the average in
intelligence, business capacity and ed
ucation.
This is brilliant opportunity for
you, Record, and we challenge you to
accept it or to stop your jaw. We do
not care which you do.
We always like to back up our own
assertions by the opinions of those
who know us-people who are not
"gulls" or credulous fools, as the Rec
ord intimates, but men and women of
brains and of standing in the different
communities in which they live. We
have no doubt that their intellects are
as clear as those Of the Records edi-
torial force, that their word is as good,
and, upon this particular question, we
ara free to say that they are much bet
ter posted, for the reason that they
know what they are talking about,
while the Rscord does not. Fortu-
nately for mankind the day is gone
past when quill-driver can sit in an
office and dictate to intelligent men
upon auy question, The promulga-
