L,i,nese Ideas.

You seldom see a Chinaman bereft
of an arm. leg, or other member of his
body. The reason for this is that
Orientals have profound objection
to surgical operations. They much
prefer to die than lose a member.
Their idea is that, having come into
the world with a certain number OF
fingers. thumbs, arms, and legs, they
must go out with the same number.
Otherwise, when on the other side
tNey might be sent back to search for
the missing member, only to be eter'
nally looking for 1t. In dentistry the
Chinese have reached the discovery
that the nerve is q worm, and that the
best method of treating an aching
tooth is to loosen it by driving IN
wedges, so that the worm may escape
