AN ELEMENT OF NATURE IS HUMANITY'S
GREATEST HEALER
Year after year, since the establishment of the Fong Wan herb busi-
ness in Oakland, the public has been repeatedly informed that the com-
plaints of the human system and the ailments of any part of the body
can be corrected and overcome by bringing the five principal internal
organs, viz. : the lungs, liver, kidneys, heart, and stomach, into harmon-
ious functioning. A person is then free from all ailments, just the same
as when the five principal elements of Nature (the mineral, vegetation,
water, fire, and earth elements) work in unison, there is no extremely
hot or cold weather; neither are there earthquakes, volcanoes, thunder-
storms, epidemics nor pestilences.
China is a nation of 450,000,000 people. She has experienced pesti-
lences and epidemics of various kinds. So far, however, during the
last 5000 years of her history, not one of those epidemics had ever lasted
long and never has one of them ever done China any real harm. How-
ever, foreign physicians have practiced in China for approximately only
thirty years. Even at the present time most of them are stationed at
treaty ports or in the foreign settlements. The Chinese rely upon the
Element furnished by God to keep down their epidemics and pestilences.
In coping with individual ailments, the Chinese base their entire sys-
tem of healing upon the five principal elements. The herbs belong to
the vegetation element. When cooked with the water element they erad-
icate disease. This method of healing has been handed through the
ages. For over 5000 years, the great men of China as well as the common
people have used the herbs. Chinese students have been sent
abroad to study the healing methods, the so-called new inventions and
discoveries of all the principal nations in the world, but so far they
have not discovered any especially successful methods excepting that
of surgery. Even in surgical practice, moreover, a great many mis-
takes are made. Many unnecessary operations are performed and many
premature deaths caused in cases that might have been easily and
quickly relieved by merely drinking a few cups of herb tea instead of
submitting to dangerous operations.
The herbs constitute a portion of the vegetation element. The five
principal elements were created by God. Therefore, the herbs are pro-
vided by God. Through his extensive and intensive knowledge of herbs,
the FONG WAN HERBALIST has relieved over 30,000 sufferers. Thou-
