Hi, Mike:

What astute observation and knowledge regarding the "tiger sting". If you have not explained it I will simply in the blind too. I have heard of this type of herbal doctor who traveled everywhere to offer remedies for their patients but I have never seen a real one before. Almost all the stories about them were learned from Chinese fictions. Now I am thinking about it, I wonder when they became extinct, do you know? If they were extinct before 1911, then this piece can be much older. By the way, what is the Chinese characters for tigers sting, I cannot find any reference anywhere. Thanks.

Bill
