About all that is necessary when a Chinese gentleman wants to practice the profession is to declare himself a doctor and go to work curing or killing people, as the ease may be, at the rate of about two cents per visit. If a patient persists in dying in spite of the drugs and incantations presented by his Celestial physician, it is no fault of the doctor. “I have used Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and find it to be a great medicine,” says Mr. E. S. Phipps, of Poteau, Ark. “It cured mo of bloody flux. I cannot speak too highly of it.” This remedy alwavs wins the good opinion, if not praise, of those who use it.
