sands of people are being saved by the FONG WAN HERBS from un- 

 necessary operations. 



One of the elements of Nature is the greatest healer the world has 

 ever known. This is shown in the four following illustrations:

About half a century ago, a long dry spell in and about Peking 

 (Peiping), then the capital of China, caused the atmosphere to become 

 exceedingly dry and impure, and greatly overheated by the fire ele- 

 ment. As a result, an epidemic broke out and hundreds of people died 

 daily. While the Chinese herbalists succeeded in saving some of the 

 people, they were, however, unable to prevent the disease from spread- 

 ing. Again and again did the kind-hearted Emperor call the elders 

 and other wise Chinese into conference to formulate plans to stamp out 

 the disease, but their efforts were unavailing until a great fall of rain 

 came and washed all the impurities out of the air. Then the epidemic 

 ceased to spread, and finally disappeared.

During the epidemic of the Spanish Influenza right here in the Bay 

 region, the authorities labored day after day and tried every known 

 method to prevent the spread of this dread disease. Although every 

 person was obliged to wear a mask over his nose and mouth, and al- 

 though the streets were washed with water every night, the spreading 

 of the disease was not checked until God sent a heavy rain. The wash- 

 ing of the streets with water, when compared with the rainfall, accom- 

 plished but a thousandth part as much. To overcome so infectious a 

 disease required the power of the water element of Nature to thor- 

 oughly wash both the air and the soil.

The Hoof and Mouth disease among cattle, which appeared in the 

 United States in 1922, was caused by the long duration of drought. Not 

 only was the blood of the cattle overheated because of the lack of mois- 

 ture, but the soil where they stood and pastured became so filled with 

 impurities and so overheated that germs developed in it that attacked 

 the hoofs and mouths of the cattle, because these parts were in close 

 contact with it. The germs found favorable lodging place in the over- 

 heated blood of the cattle, and the Hoof and Mouth disease spread
