From January 1st 1909 any merchant wishing\n\nto import into any open port in China any Persian or\n\nTurkish opium must apply to the Commissioner of Cus-\n\ntoms at Kowloon for a special permit, one for each\n\nchest of opium. This permit shall state that the\n\nopium may be shipped to any open port in China and\n\nthat on its arrival duty and likin will be paid in\n\naccordance with the regulations.

They agree that only time and growth might help him. Don't bother him about it or interfere.\n\n\"Let the child come here to me!\"\n\nThere was a serene strength in the even, authoritative voice of the shabby man now, and on his haggard face an expression that Sir James had never seen on that of any one of the highly paid specialists of whom he had spoken.\n\n\"I see- I see,\" \n\nby BERTRAM ATKEY\n\n### Illustrated by Comerford Watson\n\nThe hard eyes had softened now as the millionaire faced his boy. \"Why, that's not likely ever to happen, sonny,\" he said.\n\nThe bone-setter held out his long, white, slender, sinewy hands-beautiful hands. \"I have nothing of value in the world, Sir James, but a dying wife and these. But God set eyes in these hands of mine, and I have done my best to deserve that gift,\" he said. \"Let the child come here to me!\" \n\nIt was a command.\n\nA sudden conviction must have struck like a blade to the heart of the millionaire, for he shivered strangely. Then, his eyes blazing with hope, he looked down at his son.\n\n'The boy moved under the gentle arm of the shabby man like a tired bird coming at last to its nest.'\n\n\"Let us go indoors and see what is wrong, shall we?\" said John Hammond.\n\nSo they went in, the millionaire following them, the forgotten picture still in his hand.\n\nTwenty minutes later, Hammond and Sir James Redmon faced each other across the library table.\n\nIt was a slight displacement of cartilage. But that was complicated by the disarrangement of an obscure muscle far from what seemed to be the root of the injury. \"I shall operate to-morrow-oh, don't be afraid, it will be with my hands only-and-\" he smiled-\"you may buy him another pony, if you like; he has earned it-and he will be able to ride it as well as ever in a fortnight.\"\n\nThere was such absolute conviction in his voice, such inspiration-as it seemed to the millionaire-in his eyes that it was impossible to doubt him.\n\nSir James stared. \"You have indebted me and my son to you to an extent that money can never repay,\" he began, slowly, but the bone-setter smiled.\n\n\"I have done for you and him no more than I have done for many a poor man in the North for the joy of it,\" he said.\n\nThe millionaire thought that over.\n\nThen he turned to the table on which he had put the little painting. \"To come back to this matter,\" he said. \"I dislike the idea of depriving you of this little gem-but if you are still of the same mind, I would be prepared to pay you five thousand pounds for it. I should like to see it in my collection.\"\n\nThe bone-setter stared.\n\nThat meant everything Mary needed-everything-probably her life. But--surely it was too much--charity!\n\nThe keen-witted man watching him understood.\n\n\"Evidently you are not aware of the huge prices which good pictures fetch.\" \"I will tell you of a few examples,\" he said.\n\nHe did so, and the doubt cleared from Hammond's eyes.\n\n\"I will give you the cheque now,\" said the millionaire, \"on the condition that if your wife does not approve of your selling it then the bargain shall be cancelled and the picture returned to you and the cheque to me less the amount of your professional fees.\"\n\nThere was a secret smile lurking on the hard mouth.\n\nThe Hammonds would never again need anything that money could buy while Sir James Redmon possessed his fortune, but the millionaire was too keen a judge of men to say so, or even to hint as much.\n\nFor while, all his life, the rich man of these two had been receiving, the poor man had been giving-not money, but pity, sympathy, and a skill that was priceless.\n\nAnd in spite of his poverty and the bitter straits to which he had been reduced there was within him a secret flame of pride which would for ever forbid him to seek for himself that charity which he had so long and generously extended to others.\n\nThe millionaire understood this, and practised in the handling of men as he was, had no difficulty in making his point.\n\nSo it was settled and done and John Hammond, after making arrangements about the operation, or, rather, the manipulation under an anesthetic, of the boy's injury next day, returned to his home.\n\nAnd he went in the great car, and beside him he took a great hamper of delicacies which the millionaire had insisted on his taking.\n\nVery soon he was sitting at the bedside of his wife who, revived by the amazing news he brought as though by a powerful stimulant, listened in silence to the end.\n\nThen after a pause she slipped her hand into his and spoke low and painfully.\n\n\"But, John, there is something I must tell you. My picture is not-not genuine. I-I took it to a shop just before I had to stay in bed. The man there laughed at it, John. He said it was only an imitation of a painting by Constable--the very worst copy he had ever seen,\" he said.\n\nShe began to cry.\n\n\"You must tell Sir James Redmon- and, after all, there will be some fees to come to you when you have cured his little boy. I should never be happy if we did anything so dishonest.\n\nVery white, Hammond bent over and kissed her gently.\n\n\"Don't worry, Mary, I understand,\" he said. \"I shall be back very soon.”\n\nWithin half an hour he was again standing in the library with Sir James Redmon.\n\nBut the millionaire had changed. He listened quietly enough till Hammond had spoken.\n\nThen he slipped his arm through Hammond's and said, “Come with me, my friend,\" and led the way into a large room full of magnificent paintings----masterpieces, most of them.\n\nHe crossed to the far wall and pointed. And Hammond saw, set in the central, most prominent position of all, the shabby, unframed, poorly painted copy which he had brought there.\n\n\"Listen,\" said the millionaire. \"There are masters in this room-and the whole lot put together are not worth to me a tithe of the value of that poor little picture. I will tell you why, my friend. You are ignorant of pictures, my friend; I realised that the moment you showed me your copy this morning. But what is the reason why you are ignorant about pictures? Because you have spent the whole of your life and most of your time in perfecting yourself, and developing your natural gift for a more useful art.\n\n\"If you had known more about pictures you would never have come near me. And of all the men in the world, you were the one man I have prayed secretly that I should find.\n\n\"That poor little imitation of Constable is the most valuable-to me--of all my treasures, as it will be to my son and, I hope, his son after him.\n\nAnd when, presently, my boy is right again, and we have done everything to make your wife well again, and I have established you in a place where you can use your talent to its best advantage-your secret ambition, I see that, my friend-then I hope your wife will accept as a little souvenir of the day this picture”—he touched another painting-“the real Constable painting from which this copy was once made.\n\n\"There's a verse in the Bible that is often in my mind,\" continued Sir James. “'The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong but time and chance happeneth to them all.' Time and chance has happened to us to-day, my friend!\"\n\nHe offered his hand to the bone-setter.\n\nAnd, in the midst of many treasures, poor man and rich man exchanged grips, each understanding the other the better because each in his own way had lifted the other from despair to a hope that, for both, was destined to be fulfilled.\n\n## Lifted out after 6 Radox Footbaths\n\nThere is no such thing as an immovable corn. Radox footbaths will so soften the hardest corn that it can be lifted out between the fingers. Here is an example. This lady had a corn for six years. Nothing would move it--until she tried Radox. Then six fifteen-minute footbaths freed her of the corn, root and all. Read her letter:\n\n“Your Radox Bath Salts have completely cured the queer corn I have had for about six years. I tried plasters and corn paints before using Radox, without result, but after bathing my feet in Radox for six times I was able to lift out the corn between my thumb and finger-nail, and the corn has not returned since.\n\n\"Radox is very good as a shampoo also, and I always add it to the water when washing my hair, also my face. It makes the hair dry beautifully and clean looking, and the complexion is very attractive,” \n\nFeb. 4th, 1929. Miss E. C. C., N’ymondham.\n\nWhen you put your feet into a footbath containing Radox, the salts soften the hard outer layers of the corn, and the oxygen which Radox liberates enters the pores, opens them, and penetrates further and further, carrying the corn softening salts right to the root of the corn, which is thus loosened so that it may be lifted out bodily. Since it is the oxygen which carries the corn solvents to the root of the corn, and since Radox liberates, by test, more oxygen than any other salts on the market, it is clear that Radox is more efficient in removing corns than other salts.\n\n| Quantity | Price |\n|----------|-------|\n| half-pound pink packet | 1/6 |\n| double quantity | 2/6 |\n\nRadox Bath Salts\n\nGive your Feet that \"Kruschen Feeling.\" Ask for Radox at your chemist's.\n\n## Indigestion\n\nNow he's hale and hearty!\n\n\"For very many years prior to 1923 I suffered considerably from indigestion, and at times I dared not partake of food. I tried a great many so-called remedies, but none of them benefited me in the least. On the advice of the doctor who was attending me, I purchased a bottle of Kruschen Salts and commenced taking the little daily dose as prescribed. In two or three days I felt greatly relieved, and since that time I have not suffered one minute's sickness of any kind. Although I am more than 75 years of age, I always feel as lively and active as any man 25 or 30 years my junior. Many of my friends and acquaintances often remark how well I look and ask me how I manage to keep so fit. My answer invariably is: 'Try Kruschen Salts and you will never regret it.' I would not be without Kruschen on any account.\" 5th Feb., 1929. H. A. L., Whitchurch, Salop.\n\nDoes indigestion make your life a misery! Then get acquainted with Kruschen--quickly! It is bound to stimulate the healthy flow of your digestive juices. Then you can eat what you will without fear of paying the old painful penalty. Kruschen will keep your inside clean and serene. Pure and invigorated blood will be sent pulsating to every part of your body. The health benefits will be so supremely satisfying that, like more than a million others, you will take a positive pleasure in the duty of the \"little daily dose.\"\n\nKruschen Salts\n\nGood Health for a Farthing a Day\n\nEvery chemist sells Kruschen in 6d., 1/- and 1/9 bottles. A 1/9 bottle lasts three months-4 farthings a day for health and happiness. Start to-morrow.\n\nTasteless fil ton.\n\nPage 140\nPage 141", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-514-2 Mui Tsai system- suggested regulations and possible abolition 9-1-1929 - 16-5-1929.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 523386, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-522-3 Social hygiene- including trafficking in women & children- brothels- etc. 27-2-1930 - 13-4-1931", "page_number": 27, "title": "CO129-522-3 Social hygiene- including trafficking in women & children- brothels- etc. 27-2-1930 - 13-4-1931", "content_text": "27\n\ntoo can\n\nfor\n\nbe sent to the Ass?\n\nDevral & Social Hygiene\n\nMr Kunon\n\n7.1.
