SOCIETY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ABERDEEN. 31 



ORDINARY MEETING. 



25ra JANUARY, 1912. 

 Mr. A. HUNTER BROWN, President, in the Chair. 



The minutes of tlio last meeting were read and approved. 



A paper on "Manners and Customs in Central China" was read by the 

 Rev. W. E Entwhistle, of the China Inland Mission. He dealt chiefly with 

 the ancient medical customs and superstitions, and traced the evolution of 

 various Chinese surgical instruments. Like many other tribes the people of 

 China have a great suspicion of the white "medicine-man," but as Mr. 

 Entwhistle pointed out this is gradually disappearing. After the paper was 

 read, many interesting articles, relating chiefly to the life of old China, were 

 shown and explained. 



On the motion of the Secretary, Mr. J. A Innes, a cordial vote of thanks 

 was accorded to Mr. Entwhistle.
