China "VELLY SICK"
NO CATCH-UM MEDICINE
Orient Big Field for Patent Remedies
Government Saws.

China is sick and hasn't sense enough
to take medicine, according to the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Commerce of
the Department OF Commerce.
If the business men OF the United States
want to pick up some real cash, here's a
broad field for the development of the
proprietary medicine trade, the bureau
states, in a bulletin entitled "Proprietory
Medicine and Ointment Trade in China. -
Hygiene practically is unknown among
the Chinese the report sets further,
'and the sickness and suffering to which
the masses are subject on account Of the
lack of efficient native remedies or treat
ment probably is greater than in any
other country. This Is especially true of
all varieties OF skin diseases. against
which no native salves or blood tonics
seem effective"
Gradually the natives are being edu-
Gated to the necessity of paying attention
to their ailments. the bulletin states, and
for this reason. 1t Is not difficult to intro
duce a good article at a reasonable price,
il supported by the right kind of adver-
tising.
