Ancient Doctors of Tibet.

The physicians of Tibet l,5O0 years
ago employed the same means of dag
nosing the condition Of sick person
as the physicians of the present day
they felt the patients pulse, looked
at his tongue. etc. Among the rene
dies which they recommended were
not only vegetarian diet, baths, CON-
presses. but also massage and cupping.
What is more remarkable is that ply
sicians who did not keep their instru-
ments quite clean were severely pun
ished. The ancient Tibetans were In
this respect extremely modern. The
old Tibetan medicine book prescribes
that healthy persons should lead an
orderly. sensible manner of life."-

Forty.two persons have vowed

passengers on its canyon lines by
reason OF the natural monopoly which

That said Ogden canyon is narrow,
with room only for the track of said

mountains on either side, and that
by reason of the natural conditions
