to Seoul in December of that year as
medical attendant to the missionaries
and had not been long in the country
when a bloody revolution broke out. A
nephew of the queen was badly in
jured, and the emperor sent for DR.. AL

heard. DR.. Allen saved the boys life,
which placed him in high favor at the
palace, where he was soon established
nominally as court physician, but in
reality as chief adviser on all political
questions.
This led in 1887 to his being sent to
Washington to install the first Korean
