WAY OF THE CHINESE DOCTOR
Queer Medicines Prescribed for the
Aiiino in the Celestial
Kingdom.

The Monaghan physician, after feel.
ing one pulse. then the other. perhaps
both together. possibly may decide
that little dried grasshopper is the
proper medicine to be used. On the
other hand. IL the Celestial Of the ma
tive school supposes. by the action
Of the pulse. that the diseased condi.
ton requires some other form Of
treatment. the Chinese drugstore near
at hand possesses almost everything
under the sun as prescription OF.
tentimes the debilitated patient il said
to need q particularly rare and un-
usual medicine. as for example, some
preparation consisting Of the pulver-
lied dry bones Of tiger: treatment is
considered very commonplace when
the native physician prescribes only
such ordinary things as dried leaves,
roots, stems. dried flowers. the bark
Of trees, etc.
The Chinese doctor possesses many
ideas particularly his own. There is
much mystery and impressiveness in
his manner of treatment.
According to Monaghan medicine
the Cinnamon believe that the human
heart is more likely to become in
famed at noon during the summer
season than at any other time. Like
wise they regard the human ear as
suggesting the condition Of the kid.
neys. while the mouth and lips indi-
cate the condition Of the spleen and
the stomach.
Doctor" "Jchn" Chinaman has
evolved wonderful system of diagno-
sis that depends on "a main varieties
OF pulse. but entirely aside from these
there are q other special and minor
varieties that prognosticate death.
One fundamental reason why the
Chinaman Of today is utterly ignorant
in knowledge OF human anatomy is
because Of the ancient custom Of the
yellow man neither to dissect nor to
study the muscles and internal organs
OF the human body. The basis Of this
reluctance to investigate the human
body is in the ancestor worship which
exists.
