    In establishing our elegant new offices at 331 E. Main Street, Medford, we make our initial bow to the residents of this district, having for our purpose the performance of the same character of healing service which we have been giving to Californians elsewhere.
    For a quarter of a century we have been established in San Francisco, Oakland and other cities, and resultant of our efficacious treatment of illness by our Chinese herbs, we have thousands of testimonials covering almost the complete category of human ailments. What we have done for others, is it not reasonable to assume that we can do for you?
    The important herbs of 3000 varieties, which we employ, have been known and used by the Chinese peoples for thousands of years and were among the first to bring a working knowledge and application of these to people of the western world.
    We import, compound and prepare our own herbs and teas, which are positively non-narcotic or stimulating, which cleanse the system, straighten out deranged organs, and build up worn-out, inert tissues without the bad aftereffects that often follow the taking of narcotics or stimulating drugs.
    Our files of testimonials are open for your inspection, and you will find them covering almost every ailment.
    Whatever your trouble may be and howsoever discouraged you may have become because of failure in your efforts to secure relief, come and consult us for quick and permanent results. When you face the numerous voluntary testimonials of grateful patrons, you will please bear in mind that our occidental patrons have come to us ONLY AFTER REPEATED FAILURES FROM TREATMENT BY OTHERS AS CHRONIC and HOPELESS.
    In addition to our San Francisco and Oakland offices, we have also offices in Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Jose, Ventura, Santa Barbara and Redding, California, very largely patronized.
Imported Herbs of over 3000 varieties specially prepared for stomach, liver, lungs, kidneys, heart trouble, chronic asthma, catarrh, neuralgia, cough, blood pressure, skin disorders, psoriasis, diabetes, rheumatism, dropsy, appendicitis, hemorrhoids and female trouble.
Medford Mail Tribune, October 24, 1930, page 10

 
    The science of herb remedies has been practiced in China for thousands of years. The fact that nature supplies the herbs for the healing of human sickness has been proven. For all ailments caused from influence within or outside the individual, the good Chinese Herb Specialist can use herbs to reach the seat of the trouble by removing the cause gently and naturally without using poisonous drugs or the knife.
    They disclaim any kind of magic in the wonderful cures which they bring about every day. But nature is a great restorer. It is only at such time as the human machine through accidental causes or certain weakness in its complex structure, becomes clogged or deranged that assistance is required; and then nature herself supplies the remedies in her herbs.
    These reliable and eminent herbalists, with 24 years' practical experience in Herbal Science, and who have been doing business successfully in San Francisco, Oakland and Los Angeles, are now located in Medford for the convenience of their many patrons, residents and persons in and around Medford who had used their Herb treatments have found remarkable results, and Chan & Kong Herb Treatments have found remarkable results, and Chan & Kong Herb Treatments have cured many and many difficult cases, and many of them have been given up by others and had been pronounced chronic and incurable. These records of their experience show what appear to be marvelous cures in all manner of human ailments. Chan & Kong disclaim the miraculous and credit what they term the "Natural Science of Chinese Medicine" or the application of NATURE'S REMEDIES to the restoration of the weak or diseased human function.
    The healing effects of Nature's Remedies are sure and safe. The Prescriptions of our Herb Treatments are compounded from Roots, Barks, and Herbs that have been gathered and imported direct from far-off Asia to our Laboratory. Many of these Herbs are scarcely known to the Scientists of the outside world but have been handed down from generation to generation and kept a profound secret.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:                                                San Francisco, Calif.
    I am thoroughly satisfied after having taken a course of your herb treatment that I want to thank you and assure you that it will always be a pleasure to recommend you.
    I have suffered for years with a bad liver and about three years ago had a paralytic stroke on my right side which not only left me badly crippled but my face distorted and disfigured so that I was embarrassed in meeting people. My nerve and muscles felt dead and I took small pleasure in living.
    After treating with you for about two months, the paralysis was completely removed and my face resumed its natural appearance. I am again able to be about as actively as ever and I regard your remedies as real wonder workers.
    I thank you again and again, and shall welcome inquiries as to the merit of your treatment.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:                                                    Oakland, Calif.
    For many years I suffered from Asthma. I tried different remedies and healers, but to no avail. Nothing seemed to give me relief, so hearing of the cures effected by Chan & Kong, I went to them with little hopes. But to my surprise, Chan & Kong told me I could be cured. I was doubtful at first but gave his herbs a trial. After taking the tea for one week, I felt greatly relieved, and, continuing with his herb treatment for two months, I am glad to say that I am entirely cured with no trace of my asthma remaining. I unhesitatingly recommend Chan & Kong to anyone unfortunate enough to suffer from any sickness whatsoever. Chan & Kong indeed understood the Chinese herb treatment.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:                                 San Jose, Calif., Feb. 5, 1930.
    Having gone through two operations for appendicitis and fearing recurring trouble, I am now very happy to say that Chan & Kong, the herbalists, by their wonderful Chinese herb treatment, have made me again a perfectly well man. While suffering from anemia, indigestion, a burning sensation in the stomach, with bleeding of the nose and bowels, rather than take another chance with an operation, I took up the Chan & Kong herb treatments. After taking eight weeks of their herbs, I am as sound today as I ever was in my life.
    TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:  I have been troubled with liver and stomach troubles for the past few years. The left side of my head had been bothering me constantly every day, and my bowels never moved unless I used physic. My stomach had been troubled with gas, and it gave me such a bloated feeling I was unable to do any of my housework. Some other doctors claimed I had gallstones and wanted to operate on me.  Some friends of mine who have been treated by Chan & Kong persuaded me to try the Chinese Herb Treatment and am pleased to say that I found very satisfactory results immediately. My head does not bother me now and my bowels move every day without taking any medicine for it and all the bloated feeling and the gas have left me entirely. Your herb treatments have done wonders for me and I take great pleasure in recommending your Herb Treatment.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:                                                 Sebastopol, Calif.
    For years I had pains in my chest and around the back of my neck and shoulder blades. My head hurt me awfully at times and it gave me such a dizzy feeling that it affected my eyesight, and I was unable to sleep at night. Have tried many other kinds of treatment, but without much relief; finally I made up my mind and went down to consult Chan, the Herb Specialist. After taking their treatment for a few days I noticed improvement immediately and after using it for two weeks my ailment completely vanished.
    I heartily recommend their Herb Treatment to all those who are sick.
    We are glad to show you thousands of other testimonials from people who have been helped in all parts of California, that you can easily verify.

Dear Chan & Kong:
    I am more than grateful to the friend who advised that I try your method of treating rheumatism, from which I had been a sufferer during more than eight months. Three months I was confined to a hospital but no lasting benefits was had.
    Circulation, particularly in my arms, appeared at a standstill, and I suffered constantly from the rheumatic pains in my arms, shoulders and chest.
    Three weeks of your herb treatments completely relieved me and, feeling fully cured, I want to assure you that it will afford me great pleasure to commend you to others.
12 Card Alley, San Francisco, California.
To Whom It May Concern:
    For ten years I suffered from rheumatism which was so severe at times that it kept me from work. The pains extended to my shoulders, hands and legs. I tried many kinds of remedies without results. At last I went to the Chan & Kong herb specialists, and I tried their herbs. After the first week's treatment I felt better and the pains gradually disappeared. I continued for the other two weeks' treatment. I am entirely cured, back at work, and have been well ever since. My sincere thanks to Drs. Chan & Kong for restoring my health and recommend them to all others who seek to regain their health.
Cool, El Dorado Co., California.
Dear Chan & Kong:
    I suffered many months from rheumatism in my arm and shoulder. The pain was so intense that I was unable to use my arm and was finally forced to quit work. I was very discouraged, for no doctor seemed able to cure me. A friend who had been cured by Chan & Kong's herbs urged me to go to them. I consented and now after three weeks' treatments, I am cured and can return to work. I urge you to use this letter so that others will know of your wonderful herbs and can be cured as I have been.
813 L Street, Sacramento.
To Whom It May Concern:
    This is to certify that I was recommended by a friend of mine to try taking herbs from Chan & Kong for rheumatism in the joints. I have suffered from this ailment for two years and after taking the herbs for three weeks I am entirely cured. Thanks to Dr. Chan for his good work.
To Whom It May Concern:
    This is to certify that I was suffering from rheumatism for several years and was treated by many physicians in this city, but only got temporary relief. I also visited the springs with the same result, and then I gave up all hope of ever being cured, when by chance I met an old friend who advised me to call and consult Dr. Chan. My friend stated that Dr. Chan had cured him and that he would cure me. I consulted the doctor the next day, and without asking me any questions he told me he understood my case. I took his herb remedy, with the result that I am now entirely cured of rheumatism, but the cause, that is the secret. Indeed, he gave testimonial in my gratitude and for the benefit of any person suffering from rheumatism or any other disease, I remain,
To Whom It May Concern
    I wish to say that it affords me a special pleasure to record what you have done for me with your remarkable herb treatment. As you know, when I came to you a few weeks ago I was suffering greatly from rheumatism; the joints in my hands were enlarged and my knees and feet were swollen so that it was not only painful and difficult for me to perform even the slightest work but I also experienced great difficulty in walking about. It was only after extended treatment with several different doctors without receiving any noticeable benefit that I saw your advertisement in a paper and decided to see what you could do for me. I came to you rather skeptical of your ability to do what you claimed, but now, after only one month taking your herb remedies, I find myself entirely relieved of my rheumatism trouble and confident that you have accomplished a complete cure.
    I am glad to give this testimonial, as through it I hope some other who has suffered like myself may be induced to seek the blessing of your remedies. Yours very truly,

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
    After having stomach trouble, heart palpitation and dizziness for over two years and getting no relief, I finally decided to try Chan & Kong herb treatment.

    I am well satisfied with their herb treatment and recommend them for anyone who is ill.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
    I have been troubled with liver and stomach troubles tor the past few years. The left side of my head had been bothering me constantly every day, and my bowels never moved unless I used physic.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
    I take this method of expressing my sentiments of appreciation to Dr. Chan & Kong for their wonderful cure. I was afflicted with stomach trouble, indigestion, blood disorder and appendicitis for over two years, from which I have suffered very much.

Through my experience I am convinced that their herbs will effect a complete cure and I thank them for their treatment for accepting my case.
669 Eighth Street, Oakland, Calif.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
    I had been troubled for a long time by a complication of stomach disorders and constipation. I had severe pains through in my stomach and back and was troubled with gas and bloating. I had frequent headaches and suffered from a loss of appetite.
    A short time ago a friend suggested that I should try the Chan & Kong herbal treatment. I went to them and now after only two weeks treatment I feel entirely well. I am certainly very satisfied with their wonderful cure and gladly recommend them to all who are ill.
2540 Burnett Way, Sacramento.
Dear Chan & Kong:
    It gives much pleasure to write my personal thanks to you for what your wonderful herbs have done for me. I had a very weak stomach and suffered great distress from gas, and many sleepless nights. Now I am well and feel like a new woman again after taking your herbs for only a few weeks.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
    I have been suffering with a bad case of stomach and liver trouble, complicated with diarrhea. After trying other drugs and remedies without results, I was recommended to consult Chan & Kong Herb Co. I started to take his herb treatments and I found results immediately and was entirely cured after taking his herb treatments for two weeks. Yours respectfully,
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
    I suffered from stomach trouble on and off for years. It annoyed me after every meal, as I could neither eat nor drink without great pain. Through lack of nourishment my health was run down. I was unable to receive relief from any of the remedies.
    I was recommended to try the Chans' herb treatment. After taking for two weeks of their herb teas my stomach trouble was entirely healed. Now I can eat and drink without the slightest discomfort. Indeed, I feel much better than I have for many years. For the benefit of those who are suffering from stomach trouble, I highly recommend the Chan & Kong herb treatments.
33 S. Market St., San Jose, Cal.
    I have been a constant sufferer of Stomach Trouble for some time. I am subjected to vomiting spells in the morning and evening. Everything I eat seems to disagree with me, and I have a gnawing pain in the stomach. Have tried various kinds of medicines without relief. After using Chan & Kong's Herb Treatment as directed for 11 days, I was entirely rid of my trouble. I can eat a big meal heartily now.

    Arrested December 6 by A. H. Davis of the state medical board for practicing medicine without a license, Sing Chan, a member of the Chan and Kong Herb Company with offices on East Main Street, was bound over to the grand jury yesterday when he appeared in the Medford justice court. Bail was set at $500.
    The arresting officer alleged he went to Chan's office December 4 to obtain some treatment and was charged $22 for a bottle of 50 pills, which he obtained December 5. The district attorney's office today said Davis' slip was number 98, indicating there had been 97 patients before him in the several weeks the company has been operating in Medford.
