BLUFF HOUSE, Alhambra, Jan 19.
1s96-(To tho Editor of the Times:)
In view OF the really malignant at
tacks now being made on quiet, edu-
Gated gentleman, DIR. +. Foo Iuen,
and stirred with the sympathy of a
long suffering, sorely-tried invalid for
my confreres in misfortune, 1 take
the liberty of begging that you will
give this space in your publication.
It is we'll known that 1 have been
| hopeless invalid for twenty-three
years, gradually growing worse, with
excruciating suffering from head to
foot that took various forms, each
more torturing than the others, and
finally resulting in complete helpless
ness and a wheel chair. During the
twenty-three years have consulted
| the best physicians in New York, San
Francisco and Los Angeles. have
| found many conscientious gentlemen
and kindly friends among the number,
but none who could cure even one of
my manifold torments and only two
| who have ever given me temporary re-
lief-one physician in New York and
the other of Los Angeles-who relieved
me of eczema, but said frankly that he
could not cure it under my condition
| of helplessness. Last November con-
suited Dr. Foo Yuen, and he gave me
an entirely new diagnosis from any
former physician-a diagnosis that
many facts and long experience thor
oughly confirmed. As L am mere
stranded wreck on the shores Of
time" DR.. Foo Yuen does not promise
me an entire set of clearance papers,"
but he gives me hopes Of better end
ing to disastrous voyage-what no
other physician has ever done; hopes
that are being verified in this much,
viz: Since the short while in which /
have taken his very cleanly medicinal
herbs have been entirely freed of a
most atrocious eczema of nearly six
yoars' standing, that if Dante had ever
experienced for one month, he would
have added it to the list of other de-
lights in his "Inferno." and a dropsical
affection causing difficulty in breath
ing, blurred vision, heaviness of head
and dullness of hearing Ii he docs as
much for me in the next three months,
life will, at least, possess portion of
its old-time charm.
1t seems to me that some of my
spindle-shanked, blue-lipped country
men would better try and emulate the
fresh-lipped, physical condition of Dr.
Foo Yuen themselves, before debating
to others. As an earnest advocate of
square-bound, even-handed justice to
all men, whether of the Oocident or
the Orient, j wish to give honor, where
honor is due.
Now, Mr.. Editor, in view of these few
simple facts, and I not alone, I ask
is it manly, is it even decent, for pre-
sumably, fair-minoed men to wage war
by classification. and otherwise, on their
suffering kind, since it is we, the ire
jected invalids," whom they persecute
under the tenuous guise of "protecting
the invalid?' As if physical suffering.
presupposed idiocy and the need Of
a guardian. I have always found DR..
Foo Yuen, and his business manager,
kindly, courteous gentlemen in all my
| dealings with them, and their system
| OF medication prs-eminently dainty,
| cleanly and efficacious.
