To cut long story short, for it 10
tho history Of six months in human
life. We may say that the little girl grad
ually began to walk, and to regain
color, strength, health. Her weight in
creased fourteen pounds. The ugly
sore on her leg gradually healed; that
portion of the bone cut away by the
surgeons knife was replaced by new
bone and the child is today as sound az
anybody. The wound is perfectly
healed over and healthy, although the
skin is not yet entirely normal in color.
and texture. Nature will accomplish
this renewing in time, as she has al
ready accomplished the work of cleans
ing. healing and upbuildfng, by appro-
priating the food substances which
wers supplied in the very plain and
simple, but effective, for N of herb teas,
and the use of proper foods and proper
habits of life.
This is simply plain statement of
facts, without establishment. For in
this case the facts are certainly strong
enough to speak for themselves. We
might, If necessary, reinforce this arti-
Gle by atfidsvits of the persons most
directly interested, but we believe that
this is not necessary. These circum-
stances are understood by scores Of
people and there ia not the slightest
opportunity for any over-statement or
chicsnery. We took occasion, however,
to photograph the injured limb at q
time when it exhibited the worst ap-
pearsnce, and again few days ago
when recovery was practically com.
plete. We have had plates made from
these photographs, which are repro.
duced above and are an additional
proof of the truth of what we have said,
an exhibit which will remain as an il
lustration of what herbal treatment
can accomplish.
Now, we ask in all csndor and sim
cerity, does not this case conclusively
prove that medical science and sur
gerry, as they are known and prscticed
in this country, have not reached the
proud pinnacle CT perfection upon
which we are daily taught to place
them? Does it not support the con-
tention which we have so frequently
advanced that system of medicine
should be judged by its results, rather
than by the claims Of those who prac-
tice it? Could any proof be more COM
plete of the fact that after thu 80
called advanced sciencs of the day had
failed, in this instance, a system which
is new to US, although almost as old as
msnkind-certainly as old as history
stepped forward with methods which
were more rational, more consistent
and assuredly more successful than
those which are the product of our
boosted civilization? If there is any
thing at all in evidence, these conclu-
sions must be admitted.
WerevereEce too highly the teach
ings of over-enthusiastic so-called
specialists and experts. many of whom
have mania for cutting away obnoxi-
GUS growth, which their inorganic
condensed, often poisonous, internal
| remedies will not remove. These
! growths, such as tumors and ulcers.
| may be absorbed and carried away
through the circulation without danger
or Inconvenience, if the proper reme-
dies are applied. We 20 further in our
assertions, and this case proves our po-
sition. when we say that repairs may
be made to stiffened cords and to dis
eased bones by internal medication
These portions of the body are the
products of growth, just as the muscles
are, and they may be reached by suit
able remedies. They may be cleansed
renewed and invigorated. And if they
are fed by proper foods they may be
rebuilt.
But these foods must be presented in
a form that the system can assimilate
most readily, and the substance OF
plants and herbs, presented in hot de-
coctions, is that form. There are thou
sands of people afflicted with various
conditions, usually designated as re-
suit of rheumatism, affecting the mus
cles, the cords and the bones and de-
stroyine them all alike. For these
cases there is no remedy in accepted
medical science. Those not oEsidered
dangerous to life are allowed to go
along from year to year until the suf-
ferer dies. Those believed to be malig-
nant are cut away, and if the patient
survives the knife he goes through life
manned. Many Of these conditions
could easily be removed by herbal
| treatment.
The objection is frequently made to
Chinese medicine that it does not in
clude surgery. We answer, that, to a
great extent it does away with surgery.
The Flowery Kingdom Herb Remedy
company is proud Of the case oil Clara
Humphrey. The saving Of that little
girls leg and life is great achieve
ment. If this company never does
anything more, its activity during the
last six months of its existence in Los
Angeles will have been fully justified.
The history of such a case as this is q
sufficient answer to every objection
that can be made. 1t speaks louder
than any detraction, and will be heard
above all the clamor Of the Remondi-
nos, the Stoddards, the Oampbells, the
