TIGER BALM GARDENS The Tiger Balm Gardens : a fabul- ous complex of color and grotesque statuary, built by Mr. Aw Boon Haw, a Chinese millionaire who made his fortune selling an equally fabulous patent medicine known as Tiger Balm . To quote the Tiger Balm Garden Booklet published by Mr. Kwok Lok Man, this medicine is the sure cure for Cough, Cold, Headache, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Gout, Sciatica, Lumbago, Sore-Throat, Toothache, Asthma, Scorpion and other insect bites and stings, cuts, cramps, and all chest complaints. It is rumored that the Navy is considering re- placing APC ' s withlthis marvelous Balm . . .

a crowded harbor of sampans and junks . . . wealthy hotels and abject poverty . . . rickshaws and rolls royces . . . We had been told that Hong Kong was the place to buy, buy and buy more. The prices on the clothing, cameras, jewelry, luggage, — everything imaginable — were so irresistibly low that we couldn ' t afford to pass them up. So we bought, and at the end of our stay in Hong Kong our pockets were empty, our lockers full, and the shi p ' s draft had been increased two feet. But bargain prices were not all Hong Kong had to offer. The strange and interesting sights were a photographer ' s dream. The harbor was one of the most beautiful in the world. From the top of Victoria Peak, which we scaled by the cable car Peak Tram, the city of Hong Kong lay at our feet, Kowloon stretched across into the New Territories and the border, and the Columbus was just another dot in the harbor. The Egg People , who spend all their lives in tiny sampans rolling to and fro on the waves of Aberdeen Harbor, the garish Tiger Balm Gardens, the refugee huts, and the wealthy homes on the tops of the hills made up a picture of bright colors and sharp contrasts that we would long remember.
