Washington, Nov. 1O.-SuperfntendeEt
Robinson, in charge of the United States
military postal station in China, reports

QUEER
DRUGS


The Chinese physician employs
strange and wonderful means for the
recovery of his patient, and the list
of medicines in vogue with the Celes-
tials will doubtless open the eyes OF
many an Occidental practitioner.
For instance, cantharides Is con-
sidered a sure cure for hydrophobia;
the fruit of cardamon is supposed to
increase knowledge by Strengthening
the stomach, which organ the Chinese
identify with a persons disposition
and mental capacity; the dried skin
of a certain kind Of orange Is used as a
sedative: dried aloe flowers are used
in pulmonary affections, and are also
employed in cookery as a tonic or rel
ish. The honeysuckle is given in
cases of rheumatism, and the dogbane
in diseases of the kidneys.
Almonds are sedatives in the CHI
nese pharmacopoeia and cass.a buds
q tonic and astringent. Melon seeds
are taken for coughs. colds and asth-
ma, while the morning-glory root Is
used in severe d%yspepsias. Pumpkins
are believed to possess soothing prop
critics and are used in cases of COLES.
spasms, etc. Quite a number of vege-
tables are considered cures for con-
sumption and remittent fever. The
undershell of the land turtle is taken
as a decoction by the aged and weak
and Is used generally as a stimulan:,
as Is also the mustard seed. To OLE
anders are attributed rejuvenating an |
highly nutritive qualities. One vege-
table, with an unpronounceable Chi
nese name. is employed to work off
the effect of drunkenness.
Fragments of fossil crabs, crushed
and powdered, are considered a spe-
cifc in affections of the eye. Rhubarb
is indigenous to China, and In former
times Canton was the only port fir,
which the drug was exported. The
Chinese dig the roots early in the
spring, before the leaves appear, cut
them into long. fiat pieces. dry them
for two or three days in the shade,
and then string them on cords. Tu-
meric is used for diseases of the skin.

ton of tobacco and. mixed with in

employed for coloring green tea and
also to season curries. Another of
the Chinese vegetables Is rSed to

well as to color candles. while still
another plant is found indispensable
in curing boils and Strengthening the
hair.
From castor oil beans the Chinese
express an oil which is used in the
manufacture of candles. A very cost

deer horns. after which it is en-
ployed as a tonic. One medicine. TAX

shameful thing rests upon you, upon
every Briton whose home. privilege and
prosperity is being safeguarded by

The folks In authority will probably
tell you that Gen. Rumble and hiI
splendid fellows are so isolated that
food cannot be obtained for them. I
say that is false, for recently I, in com-
pany with another correspondent, left
Gen. Rundle's camp without an escort.
We made u way in the saddle, taking
our two Cape carts with us to Win
burg railway station; leaving our
horseflesh there we took train for East
London; then back to the junction
and down to Cape Town, where we re-
NAMED for 48 hours, thence making
our way back to Winburg, and from
Winburg we came without escort to
rejoin Gen. Rumble at Hammanonia. II
two war correspondents could traverse
that country and get through with
winter supplies for themselves, why
can't the transportage people manage
to do the same. These transfer people
look with contempt upon a war corre-
spondent, but If we could not manage
transport business better than they do
most of us would willingly stand up
and allow ourselves to be shot"

for smallpox, and caterpillars are en-
ployed in bronchial complaints; dried
cows gall is used as an expectorant:
the refuse of tobacco, mixed with
straw, as a stimulant, and cows glue,
made from buffalo hides. as a sedative.
In fact, almost every natural pro-
duction, mineral, vegetable and ami

dicinal purpose. Glue seems to pos
sess wonderful healing properties

means for mending the human ma

tanned from tigers bones has also
great virtue. and costs $500 per

Sailed scorpions are considered ex-
celle p in cases of smallpox. Ant eaters
scales cure rheumatism, and although
the use of live leeches is unknown,
those animals are made into a decoc-
ton, being first put into water or
spirit, and the result taken internally
as a %purgative, or applied outwardly
in cases OF bruises. Dried toaGS are
considered a tonic, and being sold at
2 cents each, are especially popular.
A tigers skull Is regarded as a charm
against typhoid fever, ague, rheuma-
tism and rheumatic headache: also as
a protection from the danger of beng
bitten by a mad dog. Pearls are pre-
scribed in affections OF the heart and
bile; also in cases of deafness.

TROOPS STARVING
DEPLORABLE CONDITION IN
SOUTH AFRICA.
SUUTH AFRICA.

A war correspondent with the Brit
ish army in South Africa. A. @. Hales,
in a recent dispatch to a London paper
s%cathingly denounces the officials in
charge of the army commissary both
at home and in South Africa, and con-
dennis the unwonted display of red
tape which impedes the work and eff
cheney of the troops, all Of which he
classes ,as criminal neglect. He says:
LET me tell you how our army in
Africa is treated by the incompetent
people of the good city of London. l
will deal now, particularly, with the
men who are acting under the COM
mand of Gen. Sir Leslie Rumble. This
good soldier and courteous gentleman
has to hold a frontage line from Win
burg, via Senekal, almost to the bor-
ders of Basutoland. His whole front,
extending nearly a hundred miles, is
constantly threatened by an active,
dashing, determined enemy-an enemy
who knows the country far better than
an English fox hunting squire knows

season. To hold this vast line intact
Gen. Rumble has to march from point
to point as his scouts warn him of the
movements of the t~ireless foe.
Gen. Rundle's task is a colossal one,
and any sane man would think that
gigantic efforts would be made to keep
him amply supplied with food for his
soldiers. But such is not the case. The
men are absolutely starving. Many OF
the i~nfantrymen are so weak that they
can barely stagger along under the
weight of their soldierly equipment.
They are worn to shadows and move
with weary, ~listless footsteps on the
march. This is what the soldiers get to
eat, what they have been getting to
eat for a long time past, and what they
are likely to get for a long time to
come:
zone pound of raw flour, which the
soldiers have to cook after a hard days
march, is served out to each mar every
alternate day. The following day he
eats one pound of biscuits. In this

meat daily, which, nine times out of

What has become of the rations of

railway sidings where the goods are

towns. Ask in your own country, where
countless thousands of pounds worth OF
