 tions are based upon Roman Laws, so did this learned body of herbal- 

 ists find it impossible to improve upon the Fundamental Theories of 

 Healing set forth by their ancient emperor. Today, the Chinese com- 

 pound their herbs in accordance with the ancient theories, just as 

 Occidental lawyers practice law based upon Roman principles. Up to 

 the present time, neither herbalists nor lawyers have been able to im- 

 prove upon the fundamental theories. There are individual herbalists, 

 just as there are individual lawyers, who are able to accomplish much 

 and gain recognition, while others in the same profession are unable 

 to earn a living. 



The principles and methods of Roman Law have been adopted by 

 many nations. Likewise, Chinese herbs are not only extensively used 

 in other parts of Asia, but have also been introduced on a small scale 

 into most of the countries of the world. One takes no chances in using 

 Chinese Herbs. They are backed by the experience of the ages. Hav- 

 ing been used by billions of human beings with beneficial effects for 

 approximately 5000 years, Chinese Herbs have long since passed the 

 experimental stage, and their various properties and effects are defin- 

 itely known. 



FLOODS FURNISH PROOF! 



THAT ANCIENT CHINESE ENGINEERING RANKS WITH 



HERBAL SCIENCE AS BEING THE BEST OF 



THEIR KIND ON EARTH 



Approximately 5,000 years age an ancient Chinese Emperor named 

 Hsia Yu ruled China. He was not only one of the most capable men 

 in China, but his engineering work was of so high a grade that no 

 engineer in any country has ever paralleled him. When the Yellow 

 River flooded Central China, it became a veritable ocean. The Emperor 

 Hsia Yu personally supervised the division of the flood into nine 

 rivers and so directed their courses that they emptied through Tientsin 

 into the Yellow Sea. Thereafter, for 1300 years, the people enjoyed 

 freedom from floods. Since that time, however, perhaps due to chang- 

 es in the river bed, China has suffered from numerous floods. Neither 

 the emperors nor the government have succeeded in coping with this 

 difficult problem. Believing that her native engineers were inferior, 

 China employed American and European engineers as advisors. She
