ITS

CAUSE AND CURE.

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6TH, 1913.

This distressing complaint so common in all het countries is caused by the Bile overflowing in the Blood. It is not an in- dependent disorder but the symptoms of other complaints which cause the Bike to overflow in this manner instead of entering the intestines to perform its mission of aiding in the digestion and assimilation of food, Jaundice causes the skin and cyes to become yellow, and vomiting, nausea, diarrhoea, or constipation, loss of appetite, bad taste in the mouth, flatulence, belchi- ing and pains in the stomuch may all be accompanying symptoms. The disordered condition of the Liver is the most commen cause of this complaint and a remedy that will reach the Liver is the only effective one. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills reach the Liver as no other remedy. does, speedily causing the Bile to flow through its proper channel. They get at the cause of the complaint driving the poison out of the blood, and toning the entire system. There is no more effective remedy for this complaint, as a trial will prove, than Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills which are a positive and permanent cure for all Liver and Kidney dis- orders, Constipation, Biliousness, Impure Blood, and Female Ailments.

Photography has no doubt “addei accuracy to the study of European paint ing. It has produced a new kind of erific, who by the long and careful observation of photographs is able to attribute far more certainly than the old connoisseur, who could know nothing of a picture except from the original. But we doubt whether this study of photo graphs has increased our enjoyment or understanding of art. For photographs, at least of European oil paintings, ara only reminders, They co recall to us the pleasure given by the original but they cannot originate it; and the modern critic, absorber in the study of photo graphs, is too apt to forget that to give such a pleasure is the main purpose of painting. He is inclined to regard pictures as the subject matter of a science, And to ask himself who painted them. rather than whether they are well painted It is better to know the originals of the National Gallery well than to porn over photographs of all the rasterpieces in Europe, for, after all, pictures were: painted to be seen, to be photographed; and only the picture itself enn product the effect upon us which the artist wished to produce. That the habit of studying photographs may make a critic curiously insensible to the beauty of originals seems to le proved by certain bhunders of emin ent erities, into which they could hardly have fallen if they had not become detectives rather than cornisseurs.

But the objections do not apply to the study of reproductions of Oriental pictures, partly because most of us can!· study them in Teproductions, partly; because they logo so much less through reproduction. Indeed, it is the modern power of reproduction, whether European

Japans, that has made is aware of The grandeur of Chinese art. Little nove than a generation ago Hokusai was the only Oriental artist who had ang reputa tion in Europe, and it is generally sup posed that Japanese colour prints were the finest examides of the art of the East. Now we know that Chines painting equals Italian in the highest qualities of the-art, and we know it for the most part by means of reproductions. No doubt in I these some of the delicacies of the originals! are lost, but in them the lofty imaginn- tion, the disregard of trivialites, the grandeur of abstract desiga, are pres served. Above all it is clear that the Chinese ander the Sung dynasty had a religious art which in its expressive power has only been equalled now and again by a very fes European painters. The mere discovery of this fuel has altered our while attitude to the Chinese, even though they may now seem to us a people in their decadence. We know what their minds have been capable of in the past, and they are no longer to us mere curiosities, half sinister and half amusing. In fact, these reprodnetians have revealed them to us at least as much as the Greeks are revealed by translations of their fiterature; and as the mind of Keats waS fired by Chapman's Homer, so the wind of a European artist may be fired by the reproduction of Chinese picture, If now European art fa its exhaustion gets a new inspiration from the East, it will not be for the first time. for Asia basin power of remembering the first principles of every are which Europe, for all its restless itelligence and overwing skill; so often forgets.

ASSIMILATION OF JAPANESE TO AMERICAN LIFE.

DR. SWEET'S VIEWS.

The following letter appears in the Times from Dr. Sweet, an old resident of Tokyo, who writes to the London journal from Boston, Mast, on. July 10th as. follows:-

Adiniral Maban's carefully guarded statement in a recent issue of the Times. of his doubts as to tho possibility of the Japanese becoming assimilated to Ame rican life should, it seems to me, be subjected to, some criticism, which may best be done by considering certain elements which I think he has passed

Assimilation of individuals

of a strong race to another race cannot mean total absorption, or total surrender of customary ways of living (by which I mean to sum up all that makes up life ). but a certain readjustment of mentality as well as variation in outward form of life, and it can only become substantial and vital in consequence of at least some degree of sympathy manifested on the part of the very large society to which the newcomers are to be likened. I doubt. very much whether the process has been going on here long enough to warrant the generalisation 'The Japanese cannot become one with us,"

the process still actively going on

"We may with profit compare it with of assimilating the Irish and the Germans, and, here in New England, the French- Canadians. These people are tremendous patriots, but they have not yet become so mingled with us who are of pure English biocd that they cannot be distinguished from us-although a new type is plainly enough coming into view. And if this he so a part of the blame must fall on us who speak so easily of Micks' and Dagoma, and Dutch and Sheenies,' and Coons and like you in England --of Japs.'

needn't be quite so much inclined to "We needn't be so very superior! We despise newcomers. And again, if our welcome was more truly a welcome, isn't scatter more widely and that they would it possible that the Japanese would

be of one heart with us? seck our society and be more likely to Then the experience we beve in Japan would occur in America. There we find that the Japanese is very much of a man-worthy af "anybody's friendship. Look upon him not as an alien and a stranger, but a man and brother, and most, if not all, the knotty questions as to how to deal with him will be solved, or in the way to

solution."

Perhaps when Dr. Sweet becomes acquainted with the views of well-known Japanese publicists on the assimilation" question which have been recently quoted, Admiral Malian's argument may appear Jess astonishing." say's the Japna Chenstele..
