MEMORANDA
A Study of Chinese Alchemy (Obed S. Johnson Comm press Shanghai.)
I wonder whether all modern chemistry has not taken the wrong road—when they began to analyse, to weight, to measure. It was the "unknown impurity" in Jekyll's ingredient which did the trick. Why should we not have a method allied to nature's own methods, at least in all organic matters? Synthetic musk & gin are frauds.
