FONG WAN - Library

Prior to the trial, Fong Wan had appealed to 60 of his former pa-
trons to testify for him in court. Every one of these cheerfully respond-
ed and expressed a willingness to do so. However, but few were ac-
corded the opportunity. The postal inspectors were so badly beaten in
Fong Wan's case that no other Chinese herbalist has since been in-
dicted.
The defense tested the knowledge of the chemist of the prosecution
with regard to herbs by asking him how many kinds of herbs a certain
package contained; whether certain individual herbs tasted sweet or
sour; whether he had spent any time in the University of California Li-
brary looking up the uses of Chinese herbs, and whether he had consulted
Dr. Stuart's translation of an authoritative work on herbs. He
had done none of these things. This sort of questioning revealed that
neither the chemist nor any of the other prosecution witnesses under-
stood anything about Chinese herbal remedies.
The postal inspector called on about 20 of Fong Wan's former pa-
trons and found that they were strong for him. These patrons told
Fong Wan all about the inspector's visits. However, none of them
were called by the prosecution, while on the other hand, Fong Wan had
some of these same patrons testify in his behalf.
In the Fong Wan office there are five books of transcript of the
court proceedings. Any person wishing to learn how wonderfully the
Fong Wan herbs have helped
