Prior to the trial, Fong Wan had appealed to 60 of his former pa- 

 trons to testify for him in court. Every one of these cheerfully respond- 

 ed and expressed a willingness to do so. However, but few were ac- 

 corded the opportunity. The postal inspectors were so badly beaten in 

 Fong Wan's case that no other Chinese herbalist has since been in- 

 dicted. 



The defense tested the knowledge of the chemist of the prosecution 

 with regard to herbs by asking him how many kinds of herbs a certain 

 package contained; whether certain individual herbs tasted sweet or 

 sour; whether he had spent any time in the University of California Li- 

 brary looking up the uses of Chinese herbs, and whether he had con- 

 sulted Dr. Stuart's translation of an authoritative work on herbs. He 

 had done none of these things. This sort of questioning revealed that 

 neither the chemist nor any of the other prosecution witnesses under- 

 stood anything about Chinese herbal remedies. 



The postal inspector called on about 20 of Fong Wan's former pa- 

 trons and found that they were strong for him. These patrons told 

 Fong Wan all about the inspector's visits. However, none of them 

 were called by the prosecution, while on the other hand, Fong Wan had 

 some of these same patrons testify in his behalf. 



In the Fong Wan office there are five books of transcript of the 

 court proceedings. Any person wishing to learn how wonderfully the 

 Fong Wan herbs have helped sick people is welcome to read these 

 books during the office hours. 



The following people suffering from Arthritis, Tuberculosis, Stom- 

 ach Ulcers, Diabetes, Heart Trouble, Malignant Growths, Prostate 

 Gland, Paralysis, Kidney Trouble, and Obesity have been benefited by 

 taking the Fong Wan Herbs. Some of them have testified to the 

 postal inspector from Washington, D. C., and others have cheerfully 

 testified before the Federal Jury as to their gratitude in obtaining 

 relief from their ailments by the use of the Fong Wan Herbs.
