- Abstract:
- An old woman kneels before an altar and prays for good health with incense burning, a typical Chinese practice. When people are sick, they resort to traditional nostrums and quack remedies. The accompanying text argues that seeking medical advice from doctors who are trained in scientific medicine is the proper way, and x-ray is the way to correctly diagnose tuberculosis.
