find out whether his teeth were decaying. The dentist informed him 

 that all his teeth were in good condition and that there was no sign of 

 decay, but that the gum around one tooth had grown up higher than the 

 tooth, and was, therefore, bitten between the two teeth whenever the 

 mouth was closed, thus causing pain. 



The sufferer then called upon the herbalist, who asked him how long 

 he had suffered with the pain. The reply was : "About a week." Now 

 the herbalist immediately realized that as the sufferer had had a gum in 

 his mouth ever since he was born, which was over 35 years, there was 

 no reason for it to suddenly "grow up" in a week. He therefore pre- 

 pared a cup of tea to subdue the fire element in the man's stomach. 

 The sufferer drank the tea at 5 p. m. and the next morning he found 

 that the swelling and soreness had all gone out of his gum. 



Many persons, after either having their teeth filled or plates made 

 by a good dentist, still find their gums sore and raw at times. Then 

 they mistakenly blame the dentist because they think that their fillings 

 were not properly put in or that their false teeth are not a good fit, 

 when, in fact, the real cause of the rawness and soreness of their gums 

 is traceable to internal disorders. 





SUFFERERS WITHOUT TEETH 



With the hope of gaining relief, approximately 80 per cent of peo- 

 ple who are sick have their teeth extracted. Unfortunately, however, 

 their ills continue. Throughout his long period of experience, the Fong 

 Wan Herbalist has found that, due to the lack of a fundamental knowl- 

 edge of the human system, a great many people have acted upon the 

 merciless advice that they have either part or all of their good teeth 

 extracted. This has been done notwithstanding the fact that these per- 

 sons were suffering from Neuritis, Rheumatism, Headache, or from 

 some other nervous derangement that had absolutely no connection 

 with the teeth, but was caused by the improper functioning of one or 

 more of the internal organs of the body. 



Not realizing that their pain was due to inflammation of and impur- 

 ities in their blood, caused by this non-functioning, these people have 

 mistakenly placed too much faith in blood tests, which, by microscopic 

 or other methods, show germs of disease only, but do not show blood 

 impurities, poison, or inflammation. Even the health of the teeth and 

 gums depends upon the condition of the blood. Because persons with
