When a Chinese doctor mixes up a pre- ecription, he gathers together herbs and leaves and branches of trees and insects and bones, mixes them all to gether, puts them in an earthen pot to boil, and concoets a potent medicine. The water which he uses must be a particular kind of water for each ease. It may be drawn from, a river, or it may be caught at a spring, sometimes heavenly water is needed.
