THE PBAOTIOE Of MEDIOINE in CHINA 1 "There is no Bach thing as Boienoe in Chinese medicine. The larger part of Chinese medicine consists of sorcery, incantation, and sacrifice to idols." "What are some of the strange and barbarous remedies they employi" "They administer insects of various kinds; finger nails are sometimes given and all sorts of foul decoctions. Tiger's teeth is one of their medioines. They regard disease as being communicated by evil spirits, and so the most out ragous remedies, with sacrifices to idols are employed. Their knowledge of mercury in its various forms is very complete, and I think they use it effec tively. Often the first thing done with a new-borne babe is to giye it a dose of cinnabar (red Bulphuret of mercury) to purge it of evil spirits. Sometimes because of an overdose the child may bo poisonod. I have a few such brought to me with almost every joint in the body displaced. .Nothing could be done for them, and death followed. Fortunately such cases aro few. Cau terization is universal in oases of pain or cramps, the burning being done with hot irons. Cauterization is used for cholera." "Does the binding of tho feet of girls and women give any hospital cases." "I have had to amputate toes some times tbo entire foot of a child. The bandaging begins when a girl is 4 or 5 years old. If scientifically done no bad result follows; if not so done gangrene is tho result. Tho low caste women, the burden bearers, and those who work in tho fields donot have their feet bound It is a badge of birth and social distinc tion. This idea of social dm tinotion ' that the feot should be bound is held by mere children. Ono little girl about seven years old was brought to mo with gangrouous toes. Before Bhe was Dut under the influenoe of oholoroform she was anxious to know whether I would cut off her foot or not. Her reason for not wishing to loso her foot was that it might bo spared so that sbo could bind it, and yet this poor child had suffered untold agony with her foot.'1 Miss Kate Corey, M. D.

Miss Hatlie Bartlett, a pretty and well-known young' woman, living in West Piltstown, was remo-ved to tbu State Anyluin for the Insance at Danville, she having become violuetly insane on the subject of religion. About a month ago Evangelist Yat mmi bogan revival meetings, there and Mies Uarilett-was among the first to bo couverted, and since that lime her hobby has been to get away (from tho wickedness of this world,- and (nearer to Heaven. In her insauo endeavors to do this' sho would climb to the top of tall trees in the vicinity of tier borne. On other occasions sho wunld go milew in order to get into the attios ot the tallest, buildings. It was with the greatest difficulty, after beinc found, that she could be induced 'to leave her supposed Heaven ly places of refuge. Upon her father and. mother, who are respeotabio people, refusing to follow her steps bIio termed them "devils'' and refused to associate with them, raying she was afraid sho would bo contaminated by. their influence. Only a Bit of Paper. "I was on tho night run,'1 said the engineer, "and ray train was about thirty minutes late. I said to my firo raan : "Keep her hot ; I mean to go to meeting point on time.' During the next fittoen minutes I was not long in passing the mile-posts, for my en gino flew along at the rate of fifty miles an hour down a long grade as straight as an arrow. Suddenly somo. thing struck mo in the face, making a slight wound. I slowed down.

"Where is the piece of paper! Sly wife, Molly, has it in a gilt frame, hanging over the parlor mantel-piece. Whenever I am out on ray run she stands before it and breathes a prayer for my safety.

"Oh, that's all right, colonel," re nlicd tho clerk, "I can't bo deceived by you. I'd .trust that face of yours for anything." The warrior was tickled by tho compliment and he remarked casually as he went out with his tall, gaunt form enveloped in the garment that fitted him like a meal sack: "I'll take you at your word and you shall havo my card when I return these things." The next day tho coat and umbrella arrived, accompanied by a note of thanks from General William T. Sher man, witli his autograph across its face.
