The Chinese characters above stand for 'The great English extensively benevolent institution for curing opium smoking and other diseases, and for training in the Western healing art. The Chinese 'materia medica' includes boiled spiders, scorpions' eggs, centipedes, horned toads, mummified caterpillars, and ground millstones. The need for medical missions is very great. There are now 366 mission hospitals and dispensaries in China, treating over 1,000,000 cases a year.
