But one swallow does not make a summer, neither does this masa of incom- petent Chinese practitioners hide the fact that Chinese medicine is a force properly applied.
Foreign medicine has been at the dis posal of the Chinese in a limited way for only the better part of a century. Even to-day a very small proportion of the Platina Ruman race, and their history goes back to dates when the rest of the world was in chaos and savagery. During all these long ages, the Chinese were dependent entirely on their natural remedies when they got sick; and as sickness is no respector of people they had either to devise remedies or succumb helplessly to
llness when it attacked them.
A nation who were able to evolve a civilization like theirs on their own merits would hardly fail in this most vital need.. A. people who could invent the written character, understand as tronomy, invent printing and gunpowder, practice irrigation and mathematics and excel in bridge building, architecture and art, would hardly neglect this most neces sary study of medicine, to aid, man against his common enemies, sickness and

Mr. Ono, Vice-President of the. In- dustrial Bank of Japan, who has recent ly been on a business visit to Peking, told an interviewer on his return to Japan that, in consequence of Shang hai,Peking and Tientsin bankers having gone to the aid of the Peking Government, a great improvement of the financial condition of the country had resulted.
