TREATING AN EMPEROR
How the Court Physician of Chino Has to Approach His
 Monarch.

A curious story of the visit of Shen Iien-Fang, the most celebrated native physician in China, to attend the eln- peror at Peking is furnished by a Shang- hai correspondent. An imperial edict was issued in October last directing the viceroys and governors to send ph. si- cians of distinction to the capital. and Chen LienFang was ordered, much against his will, to report himself to the grand council.' The account of his experience is supplied by himself. A few days after his arrival at Peking Chen was summoned to an audience. He entered the presence of his sov- ereign on his knees. crossing the apart ment in that position, after the GUS tomary kow-tows. The emperor and the dowager empress were seated at opposite sides of Q low table on the das and faced each other in that posi- ton during the greater part of the in tervew.
 The emperor appeared pale and list jess, had troublesome irritation of the throat and was evidently feverish; the thin oval of his face, clearly defined features and aquiline nose gave him, in the physicians eyes (to use his own words) the appearance of a foreigner. The empress, who struck him as an cX- tremely well-prescrved and intelligent woman. seemed to be extremely so- lictOus as to the patients health. and careful for his comfort. As it would nave been serious breach of etiquette for the physician to ask any questions of his majesty, the empress proceeded to describe his symptoms. the invalid occasionally signifying confirmation of what was said by d word or nod.
 During this monClogue the physician following the customary procedure at imperial audiences, kept his gaze con centrated upon the floor, until, at the command of the empress, and still kncelng, he was permitted to place one hand upon the emperor's wrist. There was ID feeling of the pulse, simply con- tact with the flat of the hand, first on one side of the wrist and then on the other. This done, the empress contin- uvd her narrative of the patient's $ sui fcrngs; she described the state of his tongue and symptoms of uiceration in the mouth and throat; but as il was not permissible for the doctor to examine these he was obliged to make the most of a somewhat unprofessional descrip- ton. As he wisely observed, il k diff cult to look at a patients tongue when his exalted rank compels N9u to keep your eyes fixed ri2idly on the floor. The empress. having concluded her re- marks on the case. Chen Was permitted to withdraw and to present 10 the grand council his diagnosis. together With advice as to future treatment. wtich was subsequently eaH.aunirated officially to the t.r3ne.z L. e.>t of thr adv.cc WAS 10 prescribe certain tom ics of the orthodox native type and to suggest the greatest possible amount of mental ard physical rest.-St. Louis Republic.
