Jasper County Democrat, Volume 2, Number 35, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 December 1899 — Strangest Street to the World. [ARTICLE]

Strangest Street to the World.

Canton, In China, possesses the queerest street in the world. It Is roofed In with glazed paper fastened on bamboo and contains more signboards to tbe square foot than any other street In any other chantry. The next interesting fact about this Canton byway is that, though a business street, it contains no other shops hut those of apothecaries and dentists’ parlors; no professional men but doctors. It is a sick man’s paradise and a Chinese physician’s Klondike. 'They call it Physic street, which is descriptive, if not picturesque.
