July 8.—The Rockefeller ommission which is here investi- fatifng China’s needs in a medical and cal way has already found that a 08t ‘important point is this: The IChinese must be taught to doctor themselves along modern lines and hot rely, except for the present, upon e foreign medical men. ' The country is so vast and the need the medical men 8o extensive that 1l “the doctors and - surgeons in America could be utilized in China.

The solution must be the training of the CHinese doctors. At present there are only a few score of them trained along modern lines, and these have difficulty in making a liv- ing. A Chinaman is suspicious of the second hand training of the modern- ized Chinese doctor, and if he |is moved to resort to foreign treatment 'he prefers to go direct to the foreign «doctor, No Definite Plan, The commission, which is repre- sented here by Dr. Harry Pratt Jud- son, president of Chicago University, and Dr. Francis W. Peabody of Bos- ton, has not gone far enough to com- mit itself to any definite plan, but its report undoubtedly will be largely cencerned with the problem of mak- ing the foreign-trained native doctor respected in China. The United States department of state has temporarily detached Roger S. Greene from his consular post at Hankow to aid the commission as an interpreter and guide in its tour of investigation, and the Chinese govern- ment, both central and local, has fur- thered rather than impeded the work of the commission. In the medical schools, the commis- sion has found various men at work trying to coin medical characters and combinations of characters or expres- sions in Chinese. Only Three Years, It was only three years ago that the first class of Chinese educated in China took thelr medical degrees from the Union college (where American and British missionary doctors work together) here in Peking. Last year the first class, a small number, of women doctors were graduated. Be- cause of prejudices against the treat- ment of women by men, women doc- tors will have a valuable place in medical work in China. While the class of Chinese who pre- fer the old-style Chinese doctors still in the majority, the foreign doc- tors have more than what they can do. Deplore Chinese Medicine. Chinese inedicine is a poor thing. The Chinese have had for centuries remedies for certain well-known diseases, remedies which are often wery effective. But they have never, apparently, studiel anatomy, and krow little or nothing of the reasons for actions and counteractions. Much if not most of their work is quackery. They have very little knowledge of surgery. As a rule the Chinese doc- tor cannot set a bone. Men whose bLroken limbs could be stuck together by an ordinary man in Europe. or America become permanent cripples in China. Such are to be seen even on the streets of Canton, Shanghal and Peking, where the services of the foreign. doctors are always avail- able. They are men who have gone to their .own instead of foreign doc- tors, and probably have received plas- ters, or even medicine to take inter- nally, for their broken bones. is | Some of the tales that g6 through the court about the missionary doctors are to these people like stories of the Eible. A man learns of a surprising cure, which seems to him miraculous. A friend has been shot by brigands or by marauding troops of the govern- ment and is paralyzed down one side as a result. The foreign doctor opens his head, takes out a little piece of metal, and the man begins at once to walk and talk. Or it might be in the case of & wéman who was blind from a cataract and has been given sight. False Storics Spread. It used to be the case that malicious tales were spread of the mission hos- pitals. The Chinese could not under- | stand the reason for good work be- ing glven freely by white men and women, who came thousands of miles across the seas; and suspicions and dislike of foreigners gave rise to stories that they murdered children foully to make medical concoctions of their eyes. This and similar tales were | current up to the time of the Boxer | rising, but they are now seldom heard. ! ] S ATANESE R, How to Get a 10c Paper Pattern Free.

There are conditions of ill health in which no one particular organ appears to | be at fault, yet the patient is miserableand unable to pursue tiie activities of daily life with vigor and enjoyment. Some- times the cause is attributed to the im- | agination but the patient knows that the debility is real. ! The remedy evidently is a medicine that will benefit the whole system rather than & part. The blood reaches every- where and an improyement in its quality is quickly followed by an_improvement in the whole organism. Dr. Pink Pills make a visible improvement in the condition of the blood. The micro- scope will verify this improvement but the’patient can see it in the mirror as shown by increased color in cheeks and lips and added brightness of the eyes. | There will also be anew elasticity in "the | step. These things record an improved tone in the body and if this tonic treat- ment isrpersisted in for a reasonable length of time, depending upon the de- gree of debility, the condition of ill health will be removed. Those who are interested may obtain the pamphlet ‘‘Building Up the Blood’’ free on request from the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. All druggists sell Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.
