MUSTARD AS MEDICINE.
HOW THE CHINESE USE IT.
INTERESTING CASE AT KOWLOON MAGISTRACY.
The interesting fact that mustard sold generally by local Chinese druggists and grocers contains no less than 30 per cent. of starchy matter was brought to light during an interesting police court case yesterday. One authority claims that adulterated mustard does not reduce its sharpness, "and cannot be discovered by merely tasting it.
The various medicinal uses of mustard were thoroughly gone into by European and Chinese doctors, before Mr. J. H. B. Nihil, at the Kowloon Magistracy yesterday afternoon, when Mr. T. S. Whyte-Smith, Assistant Crown Solicitor, applied for a rehearing of the case in which a Chinese druggist was summoned for selling adulterated mustard. The case was first heard in September and dis missed owing to insufficient evidence.
Mr. Whyte-Smith said that with all due respect to the Court, he would like to point out that the prosecution did not regard much of the evidence as relevant to the case. He further maintained that if mustard is asked for, mustard must be supplied.

"THE POVERTY OF RICHES." SHOWING AT QUEEN'S THEATRE.
T
"The Poverty of Riches," an excellent Goldwyn picture, was screened at the Queen's Theatre yesterday. It will be shown again to-day for the last time. .. The story centres around four people, two of whom are a-young married couple of a couple of healthy children, but poor rich the happiness of having the blessing. as regards monetary wealth. The other two people are likewise a married couple. The wife loves children, but her husband, while also loving them, is ambitious and decides to wait until his position is secure and he is at the top of the ladder of success. He gets there and then the tragedy occurs. To reveal the rest would spoil the enjoyment of the picture which undoubtedly teaches the leason that aue- cess and happiness do not necessarily mean wealth and social position.
Curative Value of Mostard. Dr. Yue, of the Tung Wah Hospital, was asked to describe the uses of mustard in medicine. He said that the Chinese used it internally to reduce phelym and alleviate, pain, and sometimes it was also used for indigestion. Externally mustard was good for itches, ring-worm and for reducing swellings. In his opinion mus tard must not be adulterated. The Chi nese word for mustard is Kei Mest or | HONGKONG STOCK EXCHANGE. Kui Lut.
Cross-examined by Mr. Leo. d'Almada, who appeared for the defence, witness said that he first studied medicine when he was 15 years of age.
Mr. Almada: At what age were you qualified to practice?
Witness: When I was 20 years of age, Mr. Almada: Did you have a large practice in Canton before coming to Hongkong?
Witness: Yes, a fairly large practice. Mr. Almada: Have you prescribed mus- tard for internal or external use in the course of your experience? **
Witness: Yes, I have,
Mr. Almada: Supposing I have a boil in my hand, and matter protrudes from it (thank God I haven't)-(laughter)-do you think you would prescribe. "pure mustard as a plaster.
Witness: It depends on the boil. If very bad I would use "full strength," and if not so serious, the strength" may be reduced.
Mr. Almada: If you consider a pati- cat's case does not call for "pare mus tard." would you suggest adulteration?
Witness: No, I will not allow the drug- gist to do it. I always reduce the strength myself
Mr. Almada How would you reduce the strength of mustard t
Witness: I would add other medicine
to weaken it.
Mustard as a Shampoo.
Mr. Almada: Have you heard that Chinese ladies use "mustard as a hair wash?
Witness: Yes.
use i
Mr. Almada: Do you suggest that they pure mustard for a hair wash? Witness: I do not know
Mr. Almada: Don't you agree with me that the mustard the ladies use is adulter-
ated.
Witness: Did the ladies tell you sol (Laughter.)
Mr. Almada: Yes, my interpreter's wife told me ao.
Mr. Almada: The Chinese also used mustard for food?'
Witness: Yes.
Mr. Almads: Where do they generally buy it from?
Witness: From the druggists' or, the grocers'.
Mr. Almada: Where does your family buy it from?
Witness; I bave never tasted mustard for seven years.
