The Fong Wan Herbalist: Palace

This mansion has no duplicate anywhere in the United States. One of the attendants shows visitors around. Thousands of Americans have already availed themselves of the opportunity of going through the building and enjoying not only the beauty of its furnish- -(134)ings, but of its design and interior finish as well. These admiring visitors have named it "The Palace." In 1925, when an Anti-Herb Bill was introduced into the State Assembly, Fong Wan went to Sacramento and through the arguments and facts that he presented, was instrumental in having the bill withdrawn. At that time, the people of California, through the medium of the press, acclaimed him "King of the Herbalists." The terms "King" and "Palace" may be aptly combined. Although the King lives in his Palace, yet he does not occupy it solely for his own enjoyment. He works hard every day, and the Palace is devoted to the relief of suffering.
