CHINESE MEDICINES.
Scenes nt nit Auction nf an Ortenfal Driif ;
Stock.
There was a jam in Iling Yuen Tai's
Chinesu pharmacy , at S'jri Dupont street ,
yesterday afternoon , says the San Francisco
Chronicle.
The place had been attached liy creditors
and sold by the sheriff to an auctioneer , who
disposed of the stock at public sale. Nobody
but an export in the business would have
given * 5 fotMlic contents of the whole store.
A tea box filled with dirt , which was not
even ill for fertilizing purposes , brought SiO ,
afti-r a spirited contest between two high
binders.
Thou tlio Chinese auctioneer hold up a pill
box full of little pinto beans , and , after ex
plaining that they had been dipped in the
blood of a brave liatchctinan and were actu
ally guaranteed to cure anything from a sore
toe to cholera infnntum , received a bid of-1'J
Just $1 each and finally knocked them
down regretfully at § 18 to the leader of the
Suey Ong Tong.
A little handful of geese quills , filled with
spaghetti of an inferior quality and appar
ently unlit for even Chinese soil ] ) , sold for
$10. This , the auctioneer explained , was a
sort of Celestial pepsin that would take the
Itinlcs out of a disordered stomach or n satn-
shu head quicker than anything the ordinary
druggist could concoct.
The next remedy offered for sale was a
paper box filled with dry ducks' feet , which
had been steeped in bear's gall. The rheu
matism has about as much show against this
combination as an Esquimaux against the
shell game. Therefore , the box containing
the wob.s of a dozen ducks sold readily foi
&S. A bear's gall , fresh from the mountains
of Sonoma , brought 55.
Kcal owl grease went rapidly at high
prices. A handful of desiccated water
melon seeds sold for a price that would buy
a car load of melons. A small bottle of coon
grease and pitch , a sure and speedy cure fet
the earache , was knocked down atl.f > 0.
When bidding flagged the auctioneer ex
plained that the price of plain coon and the
valuu of pitch should not bu taken into con
sideration. The value of the remedy all
lay in knowing how to mix them.
A single curved surgeon's needle was
found in the stock. The Chinese were loth
to bid anything for it , as they had always
done their sewing with straight needles and
did not care to experiment with a crooked
one.
one."Hull , him no good , " muttered a prospec
tive purchaser.Heap clooked ; stick
finger all time. Si want clooked needle I
ben' it. "
"You heap fool. No sabe. How
dot'til sow up bullet hole stlaight needle ?
Mus' be lound , like hole. How mucheof"
and a broad grin spread over his countenance
is a highbinder bid ? 1. It was finally
mocked down for S'-i.M ) .
Two largo tea boxes filled with lottery
.ickets sold for $10 ; but just as thu purchaser
was about to pay for them the police np-
icarcd and carted them off to the central
itation. The auctioneer raved and swore in
Ohinesu and English , but ho could not com-
) cl the purchaser to pay for them.
"Gim mo ten dolly , " ho demanded , sav
agely.
"Gim mo ticket , " responded the buyer , in-
ilifTercutly.
"Wlia" fo' you no gim mo money ? "
"Wlm1 fo' you no gim mo ticket ! "
"P'loeee ' take 'cm. "
"P'leeco take money , too , ninybo , " re
sponded tlio other. That argument was ap
parently a finisher , for after muttering a
few anathemas upon the police thuauetioncur
exposed a can full of dry.mashed potatoes
and called for a bid. Hu volunteered to pay
for any case of anything on earth that thu
compound would not euro if properly applied ;
A tiny vial containing poison from the fangs
of some reptile was sold to another Chinesu
druggist for $ T > 0. It was to bo used for
poisoning thu blades of highbinders' knives.
All sorts of curloiiH looking compounds ,
were sold for what seemed most unconscion
able prices. There was what appeared to bo
extract of dried abalonc , also u mixture of
Milestone and molasses , which tlio white
auctioneer pronounced to bu compound pollywog -
wog tincture of blue ruin , and under that
name it was sold by his Chinese colleague
fur $7.05.
Wafers of sliced dovil-llsh for boils , pow
ders of dried tarantula legs for fevers , and
anything outlandish or unique that could be
concocted was produced and sold for fabu
lous prices , in fact , half n ton of quliilno nr
houc.st old bouesut wouldn't have sold for ill
cents. To tlio superstitious Mongolian mind
it WAS only something out of the ordinary
that would prove olncacious. The auctioned
realized a handsome profit , however , and the
purchasers weru happy in their simple joy ol
having secured bargains at auction.
