The other day a Chinaman, on one of the steamers, was taken ill, apparently with cholera. Medical treatment was administered as follows:—A needle was driven some distance into the man's head near each temple, and again behind his ears. In each case bleeding followed. Needles were also driven into the lips, both sides of the chest, both sides of the stomach, and also into the pit of it. The doctor then scraped the skin of the man's throat, until it looked like the neck of a turkey. This violent treatment had the desired effect, and in a few hours afterward, the patient was quite well.—Shanghai Letter.
