Chinese Imperial Medical College

class doctors were permitted to go
home and were called doctors to take
care of the people. And for all this
time there was a law to regulate the
practice of medicine. just as there is
among English-s speaking people. If a
man could not pass the examination he
could not call himself a doctor. But
after the time of the tenth emperor
they found this law for the doctors too
severe, and they permitted students to
graduate by quick and easy examina-
tions, because the Chinese people had
grown so fast that they could not fur
nish enough doctors to take care of the
common people. So they suspended the
operation of the law and permitted any
body to be called doctor. But only the
graduates from the Imperial Medical
College were permitted to be physicians
to the emperor, and these must have
passed the examinations the same
as before. From that time until now
there has been no closing of the doors
of the Imperial Medical College. 1t has
always been in operation. Whenever
there has been change of emperors
there has been some change in other
laws and customs, but they never
change the management of the Impe-
rial Medical College, which is still con-
Quoted in the same way as at first.
But since the law regulating the pro-
fession of medicine was changed al
most all the students have chosen to
learn from easy books and all have
wanted to learn quickly and the things
that were handiest. So that there have
not been many people to learn from the
books written four thousand years ago,
which are 80 hard. This matter is get
ting worse all the time. and the doctors
are becoming of a cheaper class The
English people, who have been building
up Hong Kong, employ doctors on the
steamship lines and in the hospitals.
Formerly they tried to have one English
and one Chinese doctor in each place,
and for that purpose they gave exam
nations for the CHINESE doctors for a
long time, but they could not find any
Chinese doctor who could erplain arat-

omy and the causes of diseases. This
was because the educated Chinese doc
tors would not go to take these exam
nations held by the English, for the rea-
son that the systems and knowledge
were different, and also the medicines
employed. From that time the English
people in China have detested the Chi
nese doctors, because they have seen and
known only the poorest and cheapest of
them and those that have no education;
and after time, on the steamers and in
the hospitals conducted by the English,
only English doctors were employed
and they stopped employing Chinese
doctors.
For these reasons anywhere through
China, in the course of few hundred
miles. perhaps one. two or three very
good native doctors will be found, and
these perform so many wonderful cures
that the English people are surprised
They look on in surprise and say, Men
cannot show such skill as this; l think
this doctor is helped by the angels. The
Englishman does not know that all the
skill, which seems to him SO wonderful,
is from those first books, published four
thousand years ago."
Mrs. Crane said again: Il understand
now all about the old Imperial Medical
College. Can you tell me about the west
ern-knowledge college?"
To which inquiry DR.. Foo replied: The
colleges which teach the skill and knowl-
edge of western nations, as distinguished
from those of the Orient, were COM
menced in China about twenty years
ago. and they teach all professions. Some
OF the teachers come from Germany and
some come from England. Their ways
of teaching and their rules of manage
ment are just the same as those OF col
leges in America, and need not describe
them to you in detail. About nine years
ago a certain doctor by the name of
Quan Kin Yien gradu.ved from a college
of this sort at Tien Tsin. He was a citi-
zen of Sunwoo. in the state OF Canton,
and belonged to the See Yup company.
He had friends in San Francisco whom
/ knew. l offer this fact, in my own per-
sonal knowledge, as proof of the ex-
istence OF these colleges. During the
past three years many states have estab-
lished these colleges and have brought
citizens of western countries to be men,
ters of the different faculties. They teach
all professions. and more colleges are

the English methods. But no better
word can be found than to translate
this name into English I keep this
certificate in a glass frame, in order that
everybody who cares to make an exam
ination of this question may see whether
the certificate is genuine or not.
And now to speak of the commence
ment of the Medical College four thou
Sand years ago. The first doctor was Il
coolie man named Sun Long. He COM
menced the use of the herbal remedies
and there was 20 much benefit to the
world from these that all the people
voted to make him emperor. The Sec
ond doctor was named Wong Day. He
commenced to explain anatomy and the
use of medicines. and he wrote two diff
ferent kinds of books The title of the
first book was Ling Su Kin. and the title
of the other was Su Man Kin. These
books continued the work which Sun
Long commenced and brought so much
benefit into the world that everybody
voted for Wong Day to be emperor in
his turn, and while he was emperor he
built up the Imperial Medical College.
AND the name OF the first president was
Kee Ba, who had large faculty with
him as associate physicians and teach
ers One of these was Su Su, another
was Su Yu and another was Louen
Kong, and another was Chung Man.
These four put more power into the two
books which Wong Day had written and
completed them. So 1t was required
through all China that every doctor
must be learned in these books. and the
teaching of them is very skillful indeed.
But the grammar and construction OF
the language is very deep and difficult
This is true of any Chinese book,
but the grammar of these medical books
is harder than that of any other book
in China.
$50 for many years the doctors were
compelled to pass examinations in these
books, and all the very well educated
doctors were sought out and divided
into two classes, so many doctors in
each class, and they were called doc
tors Of the first or the second class.
They were all called official. or judge,
doctors. All of the doctors in the first
class were kept in the Imperial Medi-
cal College for three years to learn
more. They therefore stood much high
er than the others and were called ply
sicians to the emperor. The second

TO THE INVALID

II you are suffering from some OBJ
scure or chronic disease, from which
YOU have been unable to get relief, Is
it not for your advantage to test a new
method Of treatment?
The Oriental system of medicine diff
fers from all others. 1t employs only
purely herbal remedies, and 1t proceeds
upon principles which have been very
Thoroughly tested for hundreds Of years.
Many Americans have proved its merits.
What the Oriental System Cures
All diseases are benefited by this sys-
tenn, whether acute or chronic. As a
matter of fact, Oriental physicians are
more often consulted for obscure and
chronic diseases, which have not been
relieved by other methods, than any
other. But many persons who have once
gained confidence in this system through
some experience of their own or of their
friends, adopt 1t in all cases. whether
recent or chronic. or whether simple or
hidden The pulse method OF diagnosis.
which is employed by DIR. Foo, Is a guide
to the detection and correct diagnosis of
many difficulties which can be under
stood in no other way. No questions
are dSktu ol tnt Dut inc seat
and the extent of the disease are located
simply by feeling the pulse of the pa
tient
The virtues Of the Herbal Medicine
are daily demonstrated in eradicating
the worst symptoms. 1t acts upon the
system as II by magic, establishing the
fame of its certain effects in those COM
plants which strike their roots so deep
in the constitution. so fatal to the hap
piness of mankind. In short, the laud-
able end of this remedy Is the lessening
of great mass of human misery by the
alienation, relief and prevention Of those
grievous Affections which are In reality
the secret foes of life. and which. while
they so extensively surround us. call
aloud for skill and interference for their
determination.

Mrs Alice Rollins Crane, a we'll
known writer and journalist of Los
Angeles. in a recent interview with
DIR. T. Foo Yuen. said to him: II have
been reading your Legend of the Sac
red Lily of China, and l know that the
Chinese are a very highly educated
people. Now l have something to ask
of you. 1 recently heard a Chinaman
say that there was no Imperial Medical
College in China. Is that true?"
DR.. Foo Yuen laughed at this and
said: did that man say that? He
don't know the history of the Chinese
medical books. The people of some
other country might perhaps say that
there is no Imperial Medical College in
China. because they do not know the
conditions and customs in regard to
the medical colleges of the Chinese.
But there is no excuse for Chinaman's
saying this. Again. some one might
have said this twenty years ago, but
there is no reason for saying it now
when people ought to know better"
The truth is that the Imperial Medi-
cal College was founded four thousand
years ago The conditions and reg uia-
tions of this college and the laws that
govern it are different from those of
similar colleges in other countries. but
the name is the same. only translated
into English, and 1 will give you proof
of this.
about twenty years ago Ii Hung
Chang. the great and influential Prime
Minister of China had much respect for
estern customs and systems OF knowl
edge in all professions. and he decided
to build up schools of western knowledge
in China by establishing colleges with
faculties composed of English and Ger
man professors. In one college there
were from ten to twenty members of
such faculty. And there were colleges
III which American physicians taught the
western customs, one in Pekin, one in
Tien Tsin and one in Shanghai, and they
are getting more. These teachers also go
right into Chinese colleges, and they are
paid and supported by the Chinese gov
eminent"
Mrs Crane asked again: "Can you
tell me in detail exactly about the
different professions represented in this
way?" And DR.. Foo Yuen replied II
have 80 much business in the daytime
that 1 have no time to tell you about
these matters. But you are journal

list, and 1 shall be very glad to explain
these matters to you thoroughly, II you
will come tomorrow evening" which
Mrs Crane agreed to do.
DR. Foo then remarked: 1.-The Chinese
call these colleges TT Yee Yum, which
means, translated into English, 1.-The
Imperial Medical College" This col
lege is in Pekin, and is within the walls
of the great inclosure known as The
Emperor's World This college is not
far from Di Ching Mung. This front
door is called in the Chinese language
Di Ching Mung. The name of the street
is Toon Bew Buy Koo Tung. On the
right of the Imperial Medical College is
the office of an official whom we may cal.
an almanac officer He has charge OF all
the computa ations and predictions in re-
gard to the weather, the movements of
the heavenly bodies, etc, ETC., and cor
responds to the American weather bu-
reau. The college is on the right of this
building and is next to the corner of the
wall surrounding the enclosure. Soldiers
always stand before the front door of the
college to keep the common people from
going in. Only high officers, such as
judges, are permitted to enter, because
the common people do not understand
the regulations which govern the col
lege"
while 1 was student at the I'm
rerial Medical College. and before I
graduated, many judges and high OFF,
Gals came to take my treatment.
Among those who took my treatment
and with whom I became well ac-
quainted, was Judge Ii Yung Yew, who
came to San Francisco to be consul
general there, and gave me a certifi-
cate of my standing at the Imperial
Medical College. This was after had
become DR.. Ii Po Tai's assistant in San
Francisco. He knew me in the Imperial
College and gave me certificate. This
judge says that the Chinese call this col
lege I'll Ye Yum, but that the English
name, as nearly as it can be translated,
is Imperial Medical College, although
the customs and ways of teaching in
this college are little different from
