ILL TREATMENT OF A MEDICAL MISSIONARY IN CHINA.
Ix some countries medical missionaries are universally looked upon asbenefactors, and in the event of native disturbances are less likelythan other Europeans to be maltreated. In China unfortunatelythis is not so, there being native prejudices which lead many personsto say, and perhaps believe, that children are killed or mutilated forthe purpose of preparing medicines. During the present excitementin China many Europeans, medical and lay, have suffered seriously.According to information recently received by an evening con.
temporary, Dr. Greig, while visiting Kirin on a medico-evangelistictour, was awakened by some rough soldiers, who dragged him fromthe kang on which he was sleeping, and, after beating and kickinghim, hung him up by his arms to an upright for some hours.Dr. Greig swooned several times with the p. lfi. His native assistantswere also roughly handled. He telegraphed for assistance to hisbrother-in-law, Dr. Young, who immediately started to his aid.The Rev. W. Robertson, of the U.P. Mission, telegraphed to theConsul here to use his authority and influence with the Tantai forthe protection of Dr. Greig. Subsequently Mr. Ayrton, the Consul,received a telegram from Dr. Greig himself giving the above facts,and also stating that the attack had been made by soldiers, and notby robbers, as at first supposed, and that he was now a prisoner inKirin. The reason given for the attack was the old story of stealingchildren in order to put out their eyes.

prisoner in custody was suffering from a wound of the head, and wishedthe attendance of a surgeon, but that the police authority would not beresponsible for any fee." I went to the police station and found theman suffering flOm a contused wound over the right eye, whichrequired three stitches. Whilst I was present the prisoner, who wasunder the influence of drink and blamed one of the constables forcausing the wound, made an attack upon the officer. I dressed thewound and left the office, In a day or two after this I was servedwith a summons to attend the burgh court as a witness to the assault,
