PEOPLE OF A YOUNG NATION SHOULD BE HEALTHY
The population of the United States of America is practically com-
posed of foreigners ; that is, most Americans are of the first, second or
third generation. When either they or their forbears left their native
lands they were, as a rule, a healthy class of people, bent upon improv-
ing their financial situation in this new, uncrowded land of opportunity
and promise. Many of the people in the old nations are "leftovers"
who by reason of poverty, illness, or of home ties, were unable to pack
up and come.
China, which is one of the oldest of the civilized nations, has a teem-
ing population. Even as early as the time of the first emperor, Shin
Nong, who ruled China approximately 5000 years ago, the Chinese
prepared herbs to combat disease. By reason of their long exper-
ience they are but rarely surprised by any of the so-called new sick-
nesses, most of which have been known to them for ages. Here in
America scientists, medicos and healers of various sorts, either for
the sake of publicity or due to the fact that they lack adequate knowl-
edge of the diseases and their treatment, have recently broadcasted
to the public what they consider to be new discoveries for curing can-
cer, etc., as well as new diseases such as Parrot Fever, Sleeping Sick-
ness, Infantile Paralysis, etc. Even when people are not ill, the fear
thus instilled into them sometimes causes them to worry until they
become sick.
Had the Chinese discovered so many new diseases every few months
during the past 5000 years as are continually cropping up here in
America, in so old a nation with its teeming population, there would
be so much name's sake sickness that a large building would be re-
quired to house even the names of all these diseases. America is a
young nation, her people having settled on this clean, virgin soil but a
few centuries ago. When they do not feel well, 99 times out of 100, it
is because, due to something they have either done or eaten, their
blood is out of order. These simple ailments can be quickly overcome
by the Fong Wan Herbs, which cleanse the impurities from the blood.
