FONG WAN - Library

with Poison Oak that she could scarcely see, one eye being entirely
closed. As I had not used all of the powder, my mother promptly
mailed what was left to Gladys. Three days later our bell rang and in
came Gladys, locking like a picture in her new Easter hat and brim-
ming over with gratitude for the wonderful remedy. Before I went to
San Anselmo in 1924, I got some more of the powder. I didn't con-
tract Poison Oak this time, but two other boys did. I gave them some
of the powder, and after but two or three applications their Poison Oak
not only ceased to spread, but dried up and disappeared.
In closing, I want to say that although FONG WAN has an envi-
able fundamental knowledge of the properties and uses of Chinese
Herbal Remedies, he does not rely entirely upon what he already knows,
but continues to study and think. He accomplishes so many big things
that he doesn't consider the drying up of a case of Poison Oak worthy
of mention, but I do. Therefore I am giving this unsolicited testimonial.
CHESTER LAWRENCE.
(Verified 1932)
TESTIMONY GIVEN BY MRS. J. CALLAHAN in the Southern
Division of the UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT for the North-
ern District of California.
The following excerpts are from the transcript, Vol. 4, pages 300-
306, March 8, 1932:
Defense Attorney: Q. "Will you kindly state to the jury your
first connection with Fong Wan, >and just what you applied to him for,
and what happened. Just state it in your own words? A. I suffered
very badly with my thighs. They had been infected in a hospital. The
1
agony was very great. I went to him to get something to alleviate the
agony, not to help me, because nothing can be done permanently for
me. He alleviated the agony to a marked extent.
Yes.
Q. That was with respect to the infection on your thigh? A.
Q. After that period of time did you have occasion to apply to
him for relief again? A. Yes.
Q. In what year was that, Mrs. Callahan ? A. That was approxi-
mately the 4th or 5th of last November, 1931. It was just this last
November.
