"  Hak  Shik  Pills,"  sulphur  pills,  fever. 
Powders  are  also  prepared  and  sold  as  such  by  our  Celestial 
brother,  and  we  may  mention  the  "  Voy  Yeung  Sz  Yik  Powder  " 
that  is  used  in  general  weakness.  "  Tit  Ta  San  "  (falling  bruise 
powder)  cures  scalds,  burns  and  wounds. 
Charms  are  not  foreign  to  Chinese  practices,  the  "  Ka  Nam  Pik 
Yik  Heung  Chu  "  is  a  renowned  charm  against  epidemics,  is  made 
in  strings  of  eighteen  beads  and  worn  on  the  left  coat  collar.  This 
charm  costs  $2  per  string  of  eighteen  beads. 
Ointments  are  made  and  sold  by  the  druggists.  The  "  Shea 
Heung  Siu  Leuk  Ointment  "  cures  scrofula,  ulcers  and  swelling. 
The  making  of  infusions  is  the  favorite  mode  of  medication,  un-

weighed  out  separately  by  the  druggist  to  the  holder  of  the  pre- 
scription, are  taken  home,  mixed  and  infused  for  the  patient.  They 
have  one  that  would  undoubtedly  be  of  great  value  in  this  country  ; 
it  is  the  "  Infallible  Voi  Tsun  Tea  "  that  cures  indigestion. 
Omega  oil  is  not  in  it  with  the  U-E-Yan  (As  you  wish  oil).  This 
can  be  taken  internally  and  also  applied  externally ;  it  is  a  great 
seller  in  Canton,  being  an  infallible  oil  for  all  diseases,  headaches, 
etc.    The  Europeans  take  kindly  to  it. 
I  believe  there  is  a  golden  medical  discovery  exploited  in  the 
United  States,  the  large  firm  of  Kwong  Chi  Koon  has  a  seller  in 
"  Sing  Po  Golden  Prescription"  that  is  "  useful  in  loss  of  voice  and
