professors and the Chinese students there will not only tell the in-
quirer something about the value of the heibs, but also how well-
versed is our herbalist in thousands of herbal varieties.
During our business career in Oakland, many people have come to
us who have:
1. Drunk Steer Blood or Calf Blood;
2. Had transfusion of blood from other persons;
3. Had injections of Iron;
4. Eaten Calves' Liver;
5. Had injections of Calves' Liver Blood.
These are Occidental methods of increasing the blood supply, but to
our knowledge, none of them have even 5% of the efficiency and value
of our herbal remedies for that purpose.
The following results are attributable to the Occidental methods
listed above:
1. Even though the scientists may not be able to detect any germs
whatever under their microscopes, yet there are poisonous substances
in the Steer Blood and Calf Blood that inflame the large intestines and
cause soreness of the rectum. Moreover, persons who have drunk
much Calf's Blood, generally have dull pain in the back of the neck
and at the base of the spine, due to the poison. Growths and tumors
are frequent in persons who drink Calf Blood for any length of time.
Even uneducated Chinese warn their friends not to drink or eat any
animal blood (cooked) very often. Why, then, should sufferers in Occi-
dental countries be advised to drink blood in quantity at regular inter-
vals when it is actually poisoning their systems ?
2. In case of illness not due to loss of blood, the transfusion of
blood from another person is harmful rather than beneficial, because
when a person is very ill his air circulation is impeded and the blood
transfused does not function. Not only, therefore, is the sufferer not
benefited, but the health of the person who has given his blood may
be affected even to the extent of an untimely death.
3. The injection of Iron often inflames the blood and causes nerv-
ousness. To feel the pulse of a person into whom Iron has been injected
gives one a sensation similar to that of touching a live wire. The
nerves of the patient vibrate and jump, and Headaches are frequent.
4. To eat Calves' Liver to make blood is about the same as to eat
