HOW THIS COMPANY CAME INTO
EXISTENCE
Many OF the older residents OF Oak
land will remember the famous Chi
nose physician, DR.. Ii Po Tai. who
practiced his profession among the
white residents of San Francisco for
nearly half a century. and died in the
city In 1893. He had reputation for
the successful treatment of obscure and
chronic diseases of which any physi-
clan OF any time or country might well
be proud. He numbered his patients by
the thousand and they came to him
from all parts of the United States and
even from abroad. Scores of wealthy
and influential citizens of San Francisco
were his personal friends. Senator Le-
land Stanford was for many years
among the most conspicuous OF these.
DR.. T. Foo Yuen, a nephew OF Lii Po
Tai, was living with him and assisting
him in his work at the time Of his
death Soon afterwards the former re-
moved to Los Angeles and entered upon
u career similar to that Of his fllustri-
Gus uncle. And after many years of
marked success in q new field he has
city where it's founders commenced
their work among the American peo-
pie.

THE ELEMENTS OF SUPERIORITY
In this connection the question nat
urally occurs to every American who
gives this subject any attention, Are
these remedies. really better than our
own. and, II so. why are they better?"
In answer, to this II may be said that
the Chinese are the cleverest pharma-
most elaborate methods of preparing
their remedies, that time. effort and ex-
pense are of no moment to them, IL only
they accomplish results
Only the purest and best of herbs
roots, seeds. berries and flowers are
used In these remedies. Some of these
are very expensive. In all. more than a
thousand different varieties are used.
The formulas are trade secrets handed
down from generation to generation in
the same families for centuries. No
poisonous drugs whatever. no narcotics.
no powerful tonics and no mineral sub
stances are used In fact. these rene
dies are such that they leave no bad
after effects.
The method Of pulse diagnosis en-
ployed by this skilled physician gives
wonderfully complete results BY this
method he can determine the condition
of each of the vital organs and can pre-
scribe the proper remedy to build up
those that need assistance
