Another means of protection which
has been advanced is that of inocu-
lation. ' From experiments made
during the -War it is clear that ty-
phoid fever may be reserained, ir not
guarded on', by this method. In an
artiele which Prof. A. E: Wright, of
the Army Medical School, neetley,
has published in the Logdon Lan-
cet, some interesting statistics are
given of the -results of vaccination
against typhoid. The garrison at
Ladysmith was composed ot 12,281
men, of WhOln 1,705 1001.0 inoculat-
ed. All were equally exposed to
infection of typhoid. Yet from Nov.
end, 101)9, to Feb. 2e0.11, 1900, there
were 1,4.80 eases nenoeg the unlace -
Mated,' and only 35 among the in-
oculated, instead of 1150, which
would nave been their proportion if
all had suffered alike. Still more
striking is the record of mortality.
There were 329 deaths among the
uninocalated, whereas there were 00"
13' eight among the inoculated. This
evidence, which is •coroborelecl by a
great variety of data obtained else-
where, goes a long Ivey to sustain
the view thnt inoculation is helpful
ms a preventive for typhoid fever. lt
is claimed by Prof, Wright that it
reduces the mortality to at least
one-half,and probably one-quarter.
There can be no doubt that there is
O decided diminution to liability -to
typhoid where .vaccination has been
greeted. The case, however, is not
yet fully establiebecl, end further 111-
formatioe will be awaited wieh con-
siderable interest. In the mean-
time it is clear that with the add-
ed knowledge ROW possessed, the
mortality from disease which ac-
companied the South African war
could, in feture campaigns, bo vary

Imperial Medical College of Tien-
tsin, who is versed in western medi-
cine, aseerted four years ago, that

trymen was entirely empirical, and

There May be two sides to this
question, Ginseng has preserved its
rePutetion for centuries among
many millions of people as a tonie
and otherwise, as 0100114 13310 great-
est of medleines. Could it iceep
this repute for ages among fully (=G-
rowth of the people of the world if
it did not possess at least sorno
elle virtues attributed to it? If so,
the use of ginseng is the greatest
illustration of the efficacy of faith -
cure on record.
At any rate, there is a great de-
mand for the root in China. The
'market for ct good article is prace
tioally unlimited. Consul Johnson
wrote from Amoy a While ago that
he believed
$20,000,000 WORTH
of the route' might be sold annuolly
in China. Perhaps thie is an ex-
aggeration. Minister Allen, writ-
ing from Seoul, in May, on the gin-
seng crop of Corea lest year, said -
that about a fifth of the crop had
been burned by the exporters after
they had twilight it, packed and all
ready for market, because the 51151-
5117 exceeded the demand and they
dicl not propose to breek prices by
sending more of the commodity to
the Chinese than they Wanted.
This remaeltable statement is, per-
haps, susceptible of further explana-
tion, A great deal of the Corean
ginseng does not get into the gen-
eral markets. It is very gilt edged
and -high priced, selling for $10 a
pound, and pwarns and some of it
is nearly worth its weight in gold.
The millions of China cannot. afford
such luxuries and enlist be content
with an occasional bit of the cheap-
er ginseng that comes from Japan
or Araerica, The dealers in Corea
believe It is to their interest to
IleOp up the price of the most valua-
ble ginseng, even if they have to
destroy a part of the crop to do so.
.A. groat and lucrative business on
the Corean frontier is to smuggle
ginseng over into China, Minister
Allen wrote, four years ago, that
the declared amount a the ginseng
imported into China from Corea was
supposed to eepresent not more than
one-half of the total importations,
so great was the amount of Stang-
gling,
Ginseng somewhat resembles tho
horse -radish root. Wealthy Chinese
use it almost daily as a tonic or in-
vigorating tea. The root is re-
garded as the most acceptable of
Presents and is often sent by the
wealthy to their friends. It is pre -
Pared by putting a bit of the root
and some water into a small covered
pot which is placed in 0 large pot
full of water. When tho water in
the large pot boils the infusion is
ready to drink, ancl it may be taken
ad Mifflin, Besides its use as a
tonic it is chiefly valuable in the
treatment 'of dyspepsia, vomiting
