"CHASING AWAY THE DEVIL"
CHINESE METHOD OF CURING THE SICK.
*
As an inquest which was held at the Magis tracy, last Tuesday afternoon, Mr. J. H. Kemp (the Coroner) mads,some very caustic remasks with regard to the manner Chinese have of treating the sick.
The inquiry was bald lo ascertain 'the circumstancer touching -the-death of a Chinese girl, seven years of age, residing at 4. Woo On Lane, who died on the 7th April last..
Dr. To Ying Kwap, officer in charge of the Chinois Public Dispensary, Central District, stated that about to p.m. on the day in question A. Chinese tailor, giving the name of Tang Yuen Lee, residing on the second floor of 4. Woo On Lane, reported to him that his body be removed to the mortuary. In addition he stated that the girl had only been ill for a day: Witness had the child's body removed to iba mortpary.
The Coroner-Did you see the child?.... Witness-No.
Was it treated in the Dispensary?--No. Dr. Leung Chuk Ping, of the Tung Wa Hospital, deposed that on the 7th April fäst he was called to 4. Woo Ob. Lane to see a girl who was sick. " examined her and found her in a very dangerous state: - "She was suffering from fainting fits (cheung fung)." He gave the child a pill, he said, and made out a prescrip tion, which he gave to her father. In his examination of the child's body be found no marks of violence. He did not examine the child's lower limbs, however.
Another Chinese doctor-Chi Ng Cho, of 96, Wellington Street – was also in attendance. "I was called to 4, Woo On. Lane,””be stated. "There I saw a girl, about seven years of age. examined her and found that she was suffering from fever. I gave her father some fever madicine to give to her, but I do not know If it was given." Witness, concluding, stated that be examined the child's body but foued so marks of treatment,

He stated that on the 9th April last he visited the second floor of 4, Woo On Lage, and found the house vacant. He made in quiries and was informed that the laieoccupant→ Tang Yuen Loo bad removed the day previous to Canton, and that he would not be back for about two weeks. None of the neighbours, however, know anything about the death of the child. Soon after Tang Yuen Lee's return to the Colony he was taken to the Central Police Station, where be made the following state- ment "I am a tailor doing business at 13, Lyndhurst Terrace. I formerly resided at 4: Woo On Lane. I am at present working for myself My daughter, by name Tang Chi Bel, died on the 7th April last. She had been sick
for two days. Previously, she would not take

The marks on her legs were caused by a Chinese medicine branch, which Was got to beat her legs so as to wake her up." That was the Chinese custom, witness stated, to "drive away the devil," and to wake up a sick person. As this procedure was apparently not soccessful the father, who was feeling very sorry, returned to the country, on the following day to worship his ancestral tombs,
Dr. C. M. Heanley, of the public mortuary, was of opinion that the cause of the child's deaib was due to septicemia; but be had some doub's as regards the diagnosis. The child's legs were much bruised, sugges ing that she had received some fifty blows with a stick.
That was the whole of the evidence.
The Corner, in bringing in verdict of "death from natural: Causes," stated that the child's father did all be could, in his belief, to cure his child. He believed, however, that the Chinese custom of beating a

power
Mr. Dixon-Whether the Court had to restore the action or not has nothing to do with it..
Mr. Quo Sing: The mortgagee having a charge over this junk does not give him the right to appear as the owner of it,
Mr. Dixon then described how the junk be- longed to the husband of the old woman and when he died in 1800 he left it to his widow who subsequently made a deed of partition to her eldest son and who also died two months after that deed was made. Consequently the Junk belonged to his widow.
After further argument as to whether Mr. Dixon had any right to appear for the mort- gagen the case was adjourned for a week.
