红楼梦(英文版) Chapter 10

　　Chia Jung forthwith escorted the Doctor and saw him off， and taking the prescription and the diagnosis， he handed them both to Chia Chen for his perusal， and in like manner recounted to Chia Chen and Mrs. Yu all that had been said on the subject.

　　"the other doctors have hitherto not expressed any opinions as positive as this one has done，" observed Mrs. Yu， addressing herself to Chia Chen， "so that the medicines to be used are， I think， surely the right ones!"

　　"He really isn't a man，" rejoined Chia Chen， "accustomed to give much of his time to the practice of medicine， in order to earn rice for his support： and it's Feng Tzu-ying， who is so friendly with us， who is mainly to be thanked for succeeding， after ever so much trouble， in inducing him to come. But now that we have this man， the illness of our son's wife may， there is no saying， stand a chance of being cured. But on that prescription of his there is ginseng mentioned， so you had better make use of that catty of good quality which was bought the other day."

　　Chia Jung listened until the conversation came to a close， after which he left the room， and bade a servant go and buy the medicines， in order that they should be prepared and administered to Mrs. Ch'in.

　　What was the state of Mrs. Ch'in's illness， after she partook of these medicines， we do not know; but， reader， listen to the explanation given in the chapter which follows.
