"I was in considerable discomfort if not pain Li Chang-yuan, doctor of acupuncture at the
hospital, with my approval, inserted three long, thin needles into the outer part of
my right elbow and below my knees and manipulated them in order to stimulate the intestine and
relieve the pressure and distension of the stomach there was a noticeable
relaxation of the pressure and distension within an hour and no recurrence of the prob lem
thereafter." James Reston, The New York Times

"There is a great deal of philosophy involved in acupunc ture . . Dr. Mann spent years studying
acupuncture . . He even learned Chinese so he could study the complex
texts in the original . . . any safe means of preventing or treating illness which can show
responsible and re spected evidence of efficacy is worth looking into by our
medical fraternity." Prevention

. "...thought-titillating book. . Are the ancient princi ples of Yin and Yang (the balance of
good and bad in na ture) involved? Dr. Mann believes so It would not be the first
time that an ancient and apparently absurd heal ing custom was found to conceal the germ of
valid con temporary technique." Harrison F. Salisbury, The New York Times
