THE OLDEST PAI-FANG IN CHINA?

To the Editor of the "Nortu-Cuina Day News" profession and it is not merely grossly inaccurate but grossly unfair to them that such a statement as the one attributed to Dr. Heiser should become current. The standard of ical training in China varies considerably, but there are a num= ber of schools registered by the China Medical Association—which xive a medical course little inferior to that of Western lands and which are graduating about 100 students every. year.

They tend to belittle and discourage the splendid work that is going on and discourage the Chinese doctors themselves in their splendid fight for a medical pro-Session of high ideal and attainment.
