Show CATCHING UP WITH CHINA Western World Has Adopted System Long Popular in Great Empire of the Orient. Gradually, very gradually, civlliza-1 civlliza-1 tion is catching up with the Chinese. The University of California has established a new profession that of keeping people well. Those who adopt this calling will go into the world and i earn fat fees by not letting folks fall ill. Sickness will mean starvation to the practitioners; a healthy populace I will make them rich, t In China the doctors have never , looked to the sick for business. Only i while their patients were well could - the physicians charge for services j rendered. When a patron fell ill the ' doctor's Income shrunk; when recov- ered the convalescent resumed feeing i his medical adviser, i It is a good scheme, evidently, or i we of the wiser world would not have , taken up with it after having so many i thousands of years to Investigate its workings. In time, perhaps, all the wisdom of the Celestials will become ours by adoption. St. Joseph Gazette. |
