Appendix F.
Chinese Medicines.
The inhabitants of the New Territory are not greatly addicted to the use of drugs and medicines, and little has been done by doctors or dealers to produce them on Western lines. The poorer people, especially the Hakkas, rarely call in doctors: but are accustomed, in case of sickness, to go up to the hillsides and gather herbs and leaves of certain kinds, which they boil in water to bathe in.
The following are the chief native medicines sold in the New Territory markets:--
Edible Seaweed for fever.
Shang Ti (root) Wai shan (root) White lily root
