received? A. No, she was worse. 



Q. From the hospital where was she taken? A. Taken to her 

 home. 



Q. From that time on did you take up any other form of treatment ? 

 A. From that time on the doctors who treated her in the hospital 



The Court: Q. The question is, did she take up any other form of 

 treatment? A. Yes. 



Defense Attorney: Q. Did she take up the treatment by Chinese 

 herbs ? A. Yes, we went to the Fong Wan Herb Company. 



Q. How long did she continue to take the herbs that were com- 

 pounded for her? A. She took them for about five months, and then 

 she was able to get up out of her bed, and was able to continue on with 

 her household work and do the cooking for myself, etc. Then after 

 about two months' time I was not satisfied with her condition, and I 

 went back to Fong Wan for a period of about two months, that is, I 

 mean she took the treatments for a period of about two months, and 

 she has never had treatment since that time. 



Q. And so far as the condition not with regard to the eye I 

 don't mean, but so far as her condition with respect to the affliction 

 she had had, have those troubles been removed? A. She never com- 

 plains of any rheumatic trouble at all. 



Q. Does she assist in the care of her own housework? A. Not at 

 present, not since she became blind in that eye. 



Q. Up to the time that she had her troubles relieved, and no longer 

 suffered, for how many years had she been suffering with it, so far as 

 you can recall? A. She had been suffering with it, as I say, from 

 about the time she was 45 years of age. This last ailment of rheuma- 

 tism was about twelve years ago. 



Q. She had it constantly ? A. Yes. 



Q. And she had it no more? A. She never complains of it. 



Q. By the way, from the time she commenced to take the Chinese 

 herbs compounded by the Fong Wan Company, has she ever taken any 

 other kind of treatment ? A. No. 



Defense Attorney: Take the witness.
