Lamp Rock of Central Asia Reveals Light Source
Captain Younghusband describes reaching the Lamp Rock cave in the Kashgar region.

The text cites the product as the prescription of a renowned nurse and physician and urges purchase from druggists worldwide. It ends with a crude, unrelated couplet about resolving disputes.
