by this means so large a majority of
the juveniles have the disease, in a
modified form, that it is rare to find an
individual more than twenty years of
age who is not proof against it. There
is a feminine divinity which, according
to Chinese religious tenets, presides
over small pox, infecting the malignant
disease on whomsoever she will. The
euphonious title of " Pearl Mother " is
given to her, for the purpose of securing
her good will, in hopes that the viru-
lence of the disease may be thereby
mitigated. For the same reason the
pox pustules are spoken of as "pearls,"
and the illness goes by the name of "the
heavenly blossoms." But as "a rose
by any other name would smell as
sweet," so small pox, in spite of its ele-
gant Chinese designation, is small pox
still -a malignant, ever to bp -dreaded
disease, and no rechristening of it can
ever alter its nature. This practice of
attaching agreeable appellations to dis-
agreeable things is very common here.

referring to the death of the Emperor,
or any other royal personage, we must
speak of him: as one who has "opened

cended heavenward in the golden
chariot."
THE DIFFICULTIES OP FOREIGN PHYSICIANS.
The Chinese having learned by ex-
perience that, in connection with dis-
eases of the eye end all kinds of surgi-
cal operations, their own doctors are
perfect iguorampses, place therasselves
-without much reluctance in the hands
of foreign physicians to have their sight
restoredea leg cut -off, or a tumor' re-
moved. But in fever cases and most
oth.er forms of disease, the majority
of the people place far More
confidence in the native doctor
than in the well instructed. foreign-
er -who can bring to his aid so maily of
the inventions and diseoveries of inod:
ern science. With a lack of judgpaent
thoroughly' childish they frequently
make use of tfle remedies presmibed by
uative practitioner and of those obtain
ed from a foreign physician at one and
the same time. and findiug, as they nat-
urally :would by such a process of doc-
toring, that the medicine of neither ef-
fects' a cure, they denounce both phy-
sicians as:quacks. Some patients -have
been stupid enough to swallow down, at
,one draught, a gill or more of medicine
ewhich they had .been directed by their
-physician to take in doses of a teaspoon-
ful at a time. When expostulated with
'in cases where they have survived to
be expostulated. with, they proffered
.the sage reply that_they wished to save
time, and suppbsed that if they took
down the whole supply at once their re-
covery would be so much the more
rapid. These peculiarities in regard to
medicine -taking on the part of his
Chinese patients are teary annoying to a
foreign physician, and make him averse
to prescribing for those whom he cannot
have in his hospital or under his im-
mediate supervision. '
