DON'T LIKE 1T.
when Made in a Wrong Way.

II Wish sou would say to the people some
day that / don't believe more than half
those who try Postum, the health coffee,
for the first time get il right. In my
family the first time ii was served, the
color was thin and the taste sort of watery
without much character. Come to in
quire. the cook had boiled il about min
uteS instead of 10; SO, the next morning
we tried 1t again and had it boiled properly
then il Game on with the rich deep brown
color OF fine coffee. / drink my coffee
with cream and sugar, and Postum hit my
taste very favorably. Now We are daily
users OF Postum, the food drink, and
Stanch champions of it. But il we had
formed an opinion from the first trial,
when tile fault was entirely our own, we
would have condemned it and been denied
the use of a beverage we prize most highly
and which is helping us physically, as
well as adding to our table Comforts
The above is almost a literal reproduc-
ton OF statement made to the adSe
tisenent writer of the Postum Cereal Co.,
Lin, OF Battle Creek, Mich, and contains
a fact that is well TO notice. We do not
think he is quite right in his estimate OF
the percentage who blunder in the prepa-
ration OF the grain coffee.
Our heavy sales in this city indicate that
lt is easily prepared and successfully.
Now and then person may be careless
in brewing it and get poor drink; care
lessneSs with fine coffee makes il disagree
able instead OF pleasant drink.
Postum properly brewed is delicious and
nourishing.

tons offered as ''just as good" =

An Old Belief.

Another unique feature of surgical ira
dition in the FIowery Kingdom lis that the
physicians viii never ash away the blood
from an open wound. The myth is that if
the blood were washed away, the victim
could never hope for revenge upon the
enemy who inflicted his injuries. 1t is
thought, however, that If this practice
coulI he traced back to its inception, it
wouli he found TO Lave originated in a
knowle 1ge OF the property of human blood,
which makes it coagulate, and thus staunch
the bleeding Of q cut or abrasion. In cases
OF fracture, Chinese practice is divided,
but generally the surgeons set the fractured
bone in a primitive fashion, and then re-
lies upon nature to do the rest.
Trephining was once unknown among
Chinese practitioners, bat this treatment
and other modern European methods are
gradually being taught the native physi-
clans 10y the doctors attached To the mis-
sionary schools which are scattered
throughout the Celestial Empire.
Fractures, however, are comparatively
rare in China, as the Chinamanis SO consti-
tuted that he hates rough, coarse methods
even in assailing an enemy.
So whenever a Chinaman has an old
grudge to pay off lie invariably chooses a
sharp n preference to a blunt weapon.
Knife wounds, therefore, are much more
frequent In China than fractured skulls,
and the Chinese doctor is correspondingly
more skilled in curing cuts and abrasions
than in setting bones.
Many Marvellous Cures.
Whatever may be the secret or the method
OF the Chinese course OF treatment, it is
nevertheless a known fact that many mar
velouS cures have been effected by it.
Many a louRGer around the little red painted
laundries can tell of bad wounds which
have been completely healed in a speedy
and wonderful fashion by the use of these
same chewed-herb poultices.
Sam himself seems to be progressing re-
marka bly, under the treatment. Yesterday
fully dressed, hc was sitting up in the
dinEy little waoden bunk which serves him
as sick ward, chatting almost gaily with
his friends. apd had mustered up enough
interest in life to send out for half a
dozen packs of cigarettes.
Fortified with these. he ensconced him
self in his four-by-one bed, and puffed
away energetieaIly. AT all hours 0fthe day
he is visited by friends, both white and Mon
golian to whom he freely chats.
The news OF the arrest of his asSailant
Coates. was received by him with great
glee, and he will evidently do al that he
can to send the latter down for a good
term Yesterday he wanted to know where
the police had put Coates, when the trial
would come off, and indeed all the fullest
particulars.
Sam T--4nc-'s cousin Sam Sing who is
taking charge CT Lungs laundry while the
latter is incapacitated for work, says that
the doctor has promisedthe patient that he
will be able TO go about in a few days.
If this is accomplished, it will score de-
cided triumph for Oriental over Occidental

The Chinese Herbs.

This is applied in characteristic Chinese
fashion. The herbs, which look like a
lot OF dried twigs and leaves, are first
thoroughly masticated by the patient.
When he is through, the herbs look for
all the world like a gcod-siZed ''quid' OF
tobacco after it has been cast aside by
AN old-time tobacco ''chawer." The moist
lump is then spread over the injury and a
bandage placed over the whole.
This is the classical treatment in China
for all open wounds OF whatever character.
The names of the herbs, however, is a
tealously guarded secret of the craft, and
has been handed down from generation
to generation of physicians in China from
time immemorial. The chewing of the
herbs by the patient, it is believed, serves
two fold purpose. In the first place, the
Juice Of the herbs, which is great blood
purifier and tonic, is thus extracted and
gets into the patients system. Secondly,
the saliva combining with the herbs forms
a chemical compound which adds to their
efficacy in healing the wounds and in
aiding the growth of new flesh.

Sam Lung, the Celestial, who was muir
derously assaulted by Charles Coates, col
ored, last Monday afternoon, and who, II
will be remembered, declined TO be treated
by the doctors at the Emergency Hospital
still obdUrately refuses To put his injuries
under the care of MCLEAN doctor"
Mclean DOCTOR he informed his friends
''hluts too much; makee Chinamanee too
much ely"
sam, however, is in good hands. DR..
Sun. physician at the Chinese legation,
read on wednesday evening of the poor
washee- washee's plight, and charitably
offered his services.
Sam was only too delighted, and trusted
himself implicitly TO the Chinese doctors
care.
DR. Sun evidently docs not believe that
the skull is fractured. and is going ahead
with the treatment for II ordinary abra-
sion. lie has removed the bandage placed
over the injury by the hospital doctors. and
instead is treating the wound with a
poultice OF Chinese herbs.
