A certain amount of fat,

your digestion is bad, and you

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. IA, 1896.
have seen the letter written by Rev.
James Bracewell of Ontario, published
in the Los Angeles Express December
IL, in reference to the establishing in
this country Of a school of Oriental med
icine by DR.. T. Foo Yuen. Mr.. Brace
we'll Is entirely disinterested in this mat
ter having derived his favorable opin-
ION of Oriental medicine from personal
observation. His motive in recommend
ing the founding Of such school issim-
ply that of doing good to the world and
is prompted by his kindness of heart and
his philanthropy as a. minister Of the
gospel. 1 know Mr.. Bracewell and have
high opinion Of his character and at
tainlments, which command the respect
of all who know him.
His ideas are in accord with those of
many others who have personally stud
led the merits of the Oriental system OF
medicine and have watched the results
of that system, either In their own cases
or in the cases of friends and acquaint-
ances. am aware that 1t is the fash
ion, in some quarters, to discredit this
system because of it's antiquity and be-
cause it comes from a people who are
supposed to be inferior In intelligence to
the Caucasian race. While am not in
clined to discuss this question at length,
vet there are a few well-established
facts which indicate that this widely
prevalent opinion is erroneous, and
show that this ancient system of medi-
cine is, in many respects, both of the
ory and of practice, superior to
that which is practiced among us at the
present time. To discredit it and des-
pise it simply because it has come down
to the human race through hundreds OF
years and because it is practiced by a
people who are aliens to us, seems to me
a mark, not of intelligence, but of fool
ish national pride, or race prejudice.
which prevents us from seeing the good
that may exist among other nations.
Take the Chinese ideas of anatomy, for
instance, which We're originally founded
upon the practice of vivisection. These
ideas differ in many important particu-
lars from the ideas taught in our own
schools Yet they are SO thoroughly
rooted in common sense that they ap
peal at once to the intelligence of ali
who take the trouble to investigate them
without prejudice. The teachings of
the Oriental system in reference to the
functions of the spleen are an example
of this. Physicians of our own race ad
nit that they know nothing about the
functions of this organ. They so state
in their text books. and they so inform
their medical students. In a contro-
versy over the merits of Chinese medi-
cine about year and a half ago promi-
nent physician of Southern California
accused DIR. T. Foo Yuen of false pre-
lenses, because he claimed to know
something about the functions of this
organ, and ridiculed this claim, saying,
in effect, that if this We're true DR.. Foo
knew more than all the great doctors
who have ever lived among cizilized
races
I was told recently by a gentleman of
intelligence and personal integrity of
a case in Southern California in which

GREAT BENEFIT TO AMERICANS.

GREAT BENEFIT TO AMERICANS.
LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. Is, 1896
In 1895 my little daughter, Clara, was
cured by Doctor Foo of very long and
painful disease, which required a great
deal of surgical attention and had been
unsuccessfully treated by eight white
physicians. They had pronounced the
case incurable, and had given her up,
but DR.. Foo cured her without the use Of
instruments and without any pain or
danger simply by the use of herbal rem
edies and some local applications. The
full history of this cure was published
in the Los Angeles papers in February,
1896, and I think that everybody will
still remember It as it attracted great
deal Of attention at the time
Not long ago I had great deal Of
trouble with neuralgia IN the head, with
fainting spells. DR.. Foo gave me RENE
dies for these difficulties, which I took
for four months and half with the re-
suit that I was completely cured. My
son, VIII p Carr, while working in the
mines in Arizona, ontracted mineral
poison, which took the form of eczema.
He could not come to Los Angeles for
treatment, but learned that Dr. Foo is
able to treat patients at a distance by
means of an excellent list of questions
which he has prepared. My son an
swered these questions carefully and
wrote letter every two weeks, telling
about his condition as fully as possible
Dr. Foo would send two weeks medicine
a time. and in this way my son was
cured in three months. Then I under
stood that DR.. Foo's skill can be adapted
to all cases both at home and at a dis
tance.
Others of my friends have had similar
experiences with DR.. Foo and all have
been satisfied with the results. I am
convinced by what I have seen that DR..
Foo must have had very thorough ed
ucation in Oriental medicine, which fact
is further shown by his position as a
member OF the Faculty of the Imperial
College a Peliin. China. November 22d,
1896, I noticed DR.. Foos Three Lessons
on Physiology" in the Los Angeles
Times. and I have also seen his New
Gift Book OF 125 pages I think that thes Sc
lessons are excellent and very clearly
written. The language and grammar
are so plain that all can understand
them. There are also so many first
class testimonials from different peo-
pie that I was more pleased to see this
little book than any other that I have
seen in my life. for I believe that the
people ought to know about this system
of curing disease.
l have thought for a long time that
some influential person ought to take
this system up and introduce it to the
notice of the American people, for it is
certainly worthy of study.
1 have been in hopes that some

world, and II people throughout the
United States would adopt 1t. they would
add an entirely new skill and method of
healing to those methods now generally
practiced, and the result would be great
good to the people OF this country. Your
education in the Imperial Medical college
at Peking taught you the very best that
there is in the Oriental ideas upon the
care Of the human body and the treat
ment of disease. I believe that we can
learn a great deal from these ancient
books, If they can be taught to us in the
best way. And, from my intimate ac-
quaintance with your professional at
tainments, I am sure that you are the
proper person to undertake this work and
to teach the people of the United States
the great truths upon which the Orien-
tai system of medicine Is based.

ability to American ways have won him
not only patrons, but friends. In the
face of a great deal of opposition and
many discouragements, he has kept
steadily along. until now he is recognized
as the most successful man If his profess
sion in the city.
DR.. Foo is the only graduate OF the
Imperial Medical college at Peking who
ever came to America. His graduation
from this university with the standing
that he reached therein, entitled him to
the rank of member of the faculty of
the college and physician to the emperor
of China. In due time he will return to
China to take these positions. His COM
ing to America was through the influence
of his uncle, DIR. Ii Po Tai of San Fran
cisco, once physician to Senator Stan
ford and many other prominent men, and
the most widely known Chinese doctor of
his day. At the time of Ii Po Tai's death
DR.. Foo was his assistant, and after that
event he came to this part of the state,
where he has since resided.
Not the least of DR.. Foo's accomplish
ments is his acquaintance with the Eng
lish language. When he came to America
he knew not word of English, but now
he speaks it with surprising clearness,
and shows wonderful aptness in learn
ing the exact shades of meaning of new
words and in acquiring their pronuncia-
ton. This faculty of learning a Ian
guage which all foreigners find difficulty
in acquiring is doubtless due in great
- n e%o or;r ~ y I 10,
to be the first of his race to impart the
secrets of Oriental medicine to the west
ern world. This has been a favorite pro-
ject with him ever since he first came to
this coast, and he is now perfecting ar
rangements to carry the plan into exc
cution. He proposes to establish school
or college Of Oriental medicine, in order
that American physicians and others
may familarize themselves with dag
nosis by the pulse and with the use of the
Chinese herbal remedies, as we'll as with
the philosophy Of the system
To the unthinking, this plan may seem
foolish and impracticable. There are al
ways people who are willing to condemn,
without investigation. anything that is
new to them, especially If 1t comes from
a country which is supposed to be in
ha bited by barbarians But It is strik-
ing fact. which cannot be ignored that
those who know DR.. Foo best are the
most ardent supporters Of his plan. 1t
is hardly reas asorable to suppose that these
people are all mistaken in their ideas of
the value of this system Of medicine.
Some of our own physicians even, who
have investigated it, have declared that
there is merit both in diagnosis by the
pulse and in the use of non-poisonous
herbal remedies. Just how far these can
be used under American habits of life
and ways of thinking may be a question.
but many shrewd observers believe that
there are fortunes awaiting the people
who are the first to study into these mat
ters and adapt this system to the needs
of our civilization. Among these is Rev,
James Bracewell of Ontario, who wrote
