It is in the Guang Xu time that the medicalbook published most whose type is most abountant, but what the medical bookpublished most quickly is in the xuantong period. The Cantonese pays greatattention to the clinical actual effect, the engraves is majority in the medicalformulary, especially about theembryo and parturient women,which takesextremely protection to the infant and young child.
